Paterson, the poetry on the water

Paterson and Laura each embrace the life of art with their own poetic style, but they can also establish the most intimate and profound love and care for each other. I think this may be the love I yearn for. I really like these two people, Paterson's positive attitude towards life, and Laura, the image in the film does have the meaning of "Goddess" in Petrarch's pen, but it is not divine, but it is perfect in all aspects Flawless, although the cooking might be a bit lousy. But Petrarch is thinking that love should be such a mundane thing, there is love and sex, and there are bits and pieces of life. Laura has reached the echo of ancient and modern to a certain extent (of course, this is probably just an over-interpretation by myself with my own colored glasses, maybe just because I like Laura too much, I must give her some meaning)

This movie is like a clip from the life of a real person for everyone to enjoy, every frame is real and beautiful. There are no big ups and downs, but inadvertently portrays the various aspects of life - such as the owner of the bar, how the chess game ended up; will "Romeo and Juliet" still be entangled... And all kinds of details, such as " Twins", such as "explode into a fireball", all seem to symbolize something, but it doesn't seem to have a special meaning. At the end, in the most climax part of the whole play, the Japanese tourists who came here admiringly said to Paterson that "poetry is in the heart, not on the paper". I also guessed that this book should be blank, but the last poem still made me feel the tension of the emotions behind the quiet monologue and the picture during this quiet hour or so.

One of my favorites is the "silent magical alarm", because I have the same silent magical alarm, which makes me wake up every morning at the same time as Paterson, and at that moment I really feel the same as the movie The empathy of Paterson, the character of Paterson suddenly became vivid in my heart, because he is like any real person in this world. He has work, hobbies, and thinking. It can even be said that he has more than three points at the same time. many people in ordinary life. The other is the sentence, "Reading poetry in translation is like taking a shower with raincoat." It really expresses what I was thinking, which is exactly what I was thinking when I was studying English hard and then doing translation and reading books in English. . For literary works, no matter how good the translation is, something will always be lost. So I love this movie, not only because the shots are really beautiful and expressive, but because there are so many little details in the movie that allow me to see the real me or the real other people. When stories can be intertwined with life, watching movies is not only a beautiful enjoyment, but also a spiritual pleasure, which is why I gradually fell in love with movies.
