"Patterson" - Poetry in Life

The first hour of the movie was boring and even drowsy

The male protagonist has a long face, but his face is always dull. Everyday life is to get up, eat breakfast, go out to work, receive emails, go home, walk the dog, sleep, and the work of the bus driver is boring.

It's just that he occasionally hears the hilarious chatter of the bus passengers and bumps into a stupid black guy practicing rap in the laundry room, accompany a little girl who writes beautiful poems to wait for the bus on the way to work, and go to a pub for a drink on the dog walk every day. Watch the restaurant owner paste local celebrity newspaper clippings on the wall and listen to the brokenhearted boy pour out his heart and occasionally write a poem

His girlfriend is a funny and gentle person. He has many dreams in his life. He will make cupcakes with cute graphics. Paint the wood in the room into black and white curtains and draw circles. Make new clothes by yourself. Learn to sing guitar

At first he thought he didn't understand her but he also supported her from beginning to end to do what she found joyful as she supported him to write poetry without a doubt

Laura's bulldog Marvin's favorite thing is to silently oppose him, kick his daily fixed mailbox, don't listen to his words, and shred his poetry book

When I saw the notebook smashed to the ground, I also felt a little sad. Those poems that were written at random were written into my heart without knowing it. He still had a blank expression and said for a while: "It's just some writing on water." sentence

Patterson, who always smiled guiltily when strangers asked you if you were a poet, finally wrote a new line in his new book after the only book that could prove he was a poet disappeared.

    Poetry is average, but the film is full of poetic beauty. There's a lot of laughter, but for me it's (naturally) the "like movie because it's black and white" line.

    The protagonist is a bus driver, very interesting: the same working hours every day, driving routes, work uniforms, lunch boxes, and a drink after dinner. There is no need to think too much about these details of life, but it allows him to have a more subtle insight into the dialogue and expressions of the characters, thus projecting gentle emotions from the small things. Jiamuxu seemed to be saying that if you go slower, the same scenery along the way will shine. It's that simple to be hit by a movie

Paterson quotes

  • Doc: Paterson, you still don't got a cell phone?

    Paterson: Uh, no. No, I don't want one. It would be a leash.

    Doc: What about the better half, she got one?

    Paterson: She's got one, yeah. And the laptop, and an iPad...

    Doc: She doesn't want you to get one?

    Paterson: No. She's okay about it. She understands me really well.

    Doc: [mutters] A lucky guy.

  • Laura: You're up late, honey. Your silent magic watch didn't wake you up.

    Paterson: Yeah, it was a little late today.

    Laura: Well, somedays something inside just doesn't want to get up. Ever feel like that?

    Paterson: Today.
