Paterson evaluation action
2021-12-30 17:21
Although the style of "Paterson" is not as sharp and alternative as some of the previous works, but Jia Muxu does not value the plot, and the creative method that follows the feeling continues to follow the film. The nearly two-hour film hardly makes people feel bored. , Like the gurgling stream passing by, it is very natural and smooth.
"Paterson" was described as an "interesting and philosophical" movie.
Slow rhythm and repetitive shots are the characteristics of the film. Ordinary street corners, bars, painted roads and waterfalls, Paterson passes through these places every day, and repeating again and again is not boring, but gives birth to a sense of rhythm and beauty of poetry. Jia Muxu successfully replaced Paterson's eyes with a lens. His rich and sensitive heart made the ordinary world in his vision full of poetry, and then we felt the poetry behind the lens.
In "Paterson", Jamusch calmly observes the calm and watery daily life, telling the success and frustration in life, and all these trivialities are silently revealed in Paterson's poems. Among them, compared to the creativity of an author and director, we see more of Jamux repeating and selling his past styles.
