It can be said that this film is not the structure or form I like at all. The unique temperament of the 7 repetitions in the whole film also leaves me speechless. For the first time, I feel how the film will be presented after a director completely ignores the audience. In this way, it can be said that from the normal viewing process, it is very bad, and even want to close it directly (I am the kind of audience who does not eat this kind of movie) After 50 minutes of getting used to the tonality of the movie, it was blocked. The director played the "poem guessing game", thinking that each poem was used as a foreshadowing at the end, but there was nothing. However, the small direction of the film may be just Patterson's daily routine for a week. In a big way, maybe what I feel is the essence of structural poetry and even artistic presentation, and the essence of these is that the director pointed out that they are all "spiritual essence" and not "material itself". Girlfriend and Patterson are a pair of positive and negative sides. But both are downright "idealistic". He is just a small point, but there are more points: such as the intrusion of black and white in the room, the dog's identity symbol, which has not yet been dismantled. (The dog definitely deserves an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor)
Going back to the core "poem" of the film, Patterson is undeniably bad at writing. Poetry is a romantic representation. The repetition of the 7th day proves that life is only routine, and Patterson writes poems until the passage of time. , a large number of stacked montages + music present this fleeting sense of romance, and the presented picture is just a picture of Patterson's daily seeing and believing. This audio-visual language technique not only preserves Patterson's identity as an ordinary person, but also distinguishes the focus of the whole film
