The 2016 film Paterson is about the ordinary life of a bus driver and his girlfriend. One is tall and handsome, the other is sweet and gentle, the other is kind and brave, the other is considerate and diligent, the one who loves writing poetry, the other who loves literature and art, the two are in one, harmoniously like one person. The small creations in their lives have nothing to do with impetuous materialistic desires. Instinctively, it is his habit to write poems on the steering wheel of the bus every morning before starting work. Every time he is interrupted to remind him that work has started, his colleagues at the bus station are full of complaints every day, which is more like a realistic metaphor. The book he wrote poetry was bitten by the pet dog at home, and his plan to print it failed, but a stranger who loved poetry at the end gave him a new diary, telling him that blank means too many possibilities! It's not a chance encounter, it's just that the same kind will always meet. It ends with him continuing to write poetry in a new notebook.
The harmony between the soul mates of the heroine and heroine of the film and the real partners makes ordinary life enjoyable, comfortable with the status quo, and satisfying the bottom-level life. It is simple and unpretentious and does not have too many desires, but it has a rich spiritual world and ideals. Rich and low-level, in fact, the ideal specimen of human existence.
What can movies extract? Intimacy is more important than money. Harmony of intimacy and a rich spiritual world are the keys to happiness and make it possible to break class rigidity. In layman's terms, the day has a rush!
The actors' acting skills are steady and solid, the camera language and composition are pleasing to the eye, the soundtrack is precise and just right, and the rhythm is not disturbed.
