calm life

Patterson (played by Adam Driver) is a New Jersey bus driver in a small town also called Patterson. Every day, Patterson's routine is simple: driving the 23 bus, observing the city on the regular route, watching his passengers from the windshield and listening to their conversations; writing poems in his notebook; walking his English bulldog horse Wen; always stopped at the same bar, drank the same beer, then went back to his wife and woke up the next day hugging each other. In contrast, the life of wife Laura (Goshifi Farahani) is full of changes - she has a new plan almost every day, and Laura wakes up recalling a different dream every day, and then starts her life project for the day - - Make cupcakes, paint walls, make curtains, buy a long-favorite guitar. They love each other deeply, he supports her leaping vibrant ideas, and she listens to his ordinary work and extraordinary poetry.

    Seven days a week, the water was about to fall, but luckily they shattered in time. And the best poetry, the best does not exist.

    When I see the hot comments, I want to explode. What's wrong with writing poems? The bus driver is so soft when writing poems? Is Uncle Hei's ideal life by practicing rap in the laundry room? Is it precocious for a little girl to like Emily Dickinson? Girlfriend playing the guitar and hugging the dog, so Wenqing? What's the matter with Guan Hong Sangsu? If you are so uncomfortable, just say that others are artificial. Yes, life is not only poetry and distant places, but also the sorrow in front of you. You may only see "dogs" and "and".

Paterson quotes

    Laura: Yeah, but a dinner pie.

    Paterson: Oh.

    Laura: What do you think's inside?

    Paterson: Inside the secret pie? Uh... I don't know, fish?

    Laura: No, not fish, silly! Want me to tell you?

    Paterson: Yes please!

    Laura: Okay.

    [deep breath]

    Laura: Cheddar cheese and brussels sprouts.

    Paterson: Seriously?

  • Laura: Speaking of secret pie, I wanted to tell you something about your secret notebook.

    Paterson: What?

    Laura: Did you ever hear of the old Italian poet called... Petrarch? Is that it?

    Paterson: Mmm, Petrarch. He perfected the sonnet.

    Laura: I read online that one of his early books of poems was called 'The Secret Book', just like yours.

    Paterson: I didn't know that! You read that. You just happened upon it online.

    Laura: And also that he wrote all his love poems to a beautiful girl called... ta da! Laura!

    Paterson: That's true!

    Laura: So you have many things in common with other great and famous poets, you see?
