There's a hint of beer on the corner of your mouth

Life itself is a poem, and those who can see this can always enjoy themselves. People who enjoy themselves will always make life a wonderful poem. At the end of the movie, Patterson's secret notebook is gnawed to shreds by the ugly dog. He sits alone in front of the waterfall and meets a Japanese who also likes the poet William W. Carlos Williams. The Japanese asked if Patterson was also a poet, but Patterson denied that he was just a BUS DRIVER. The Japanese say that a driver who drives a bus in Paterson is poetic in itself. I think the whole movie can probably be summed up in this sentence. In fact, not only Patterson, but all people who live seriously and enjoy themselves are poets. Patterson's poems are written in the notebook, his girlfriend Laura's black and white movements are written in every corner of life, the black guy in the bar is always sad, using life as his own stage, staged scenes of Romeo The story with Juliet, the suicide with a toy pistol is really wonderful. Even the brothers who play pool at the bar, Sam and Jimmy, their parents like the combination of the two, so it is very interesting to name their children Sam and Jimmy. The bar owner tried his best to dig out Patterson's famous people and made a celebrity wall. Even Floyd's younger brother was on the wall, which is also cute. This is the poetry of small people, sincere and simple, and moving. The nobility of the human soul lies in its leisurely poetic temperament and fanatical artistic feelings. However, very few poets and artists are known to the world, and more people play and sing in their own little world, drink and drink, and then grow old silently. Would Patterson's notebooks be published if they weren't gnawed by dogs? It's very unlikely, because the poems of the little girl I met on the road were almost as good as his. Is Patterson's poem bad? It is the poetry flowing from the bits and pieces of life, which is extremely beautiful. The Japanese gave Patterson a blank notebook, and Patterson took a pen from his pocket and began to write again. Poetry belongs to the poet himself, it is the words written on the water. The most beautiful thing is the moment when these words are written, when the breeze blows, everything disappears. So, it doesn't matter if Patterson's poems survived, whether they could be published or not, what matters is that he kept writing and never got tired of it. Recalling that thousands of years ago, Qing Shao Nayan, a female official in the Japanese imperial palace, wrote some very bland stories, which together became the book "Pillow Grass". When I read it, the tone of those words is light, and after a thousand years, there is still a faint fragrance of life itself, just as she has been saying that sentence, it is also very interesting. I think her mood when she wrote these small articles was similar to Patterson's. She just felt it for a while and wrote it down as a poem for herself. The shooting style of the film, like his story, is slowly flowing with poetry. Patterson and Laura wake up in different sleeping positions each day, but are equally affectionate. Patterson drove the bus and walked the same route. The town outside the window was quiet and peaceful. There were few passengers in the bus, telling their own stories, and the twin sisters who always met, for Patterson. Life adds a little spooky surprise. Day after day, life is plain as water, doing the same things on time and on time, and the only medicine that won't kill you because of boredom is the rising poetry and surging enthusiasm in your heart.
