After reading it, I typed such a paragraph in my notebook. If I continue to write after such a long time, I will definitely not be able to connect it, so I will leave it here for the time being. Hope to have the spirit of writing next time.
Only the poets of a city are qualified to share a name with the city, and poetry is the colonnade of the city. The non-poetry part disappears as it goes on, and when it disappears, it stretches out new tentacles, which are tightly wrapped around the poetic colonnade.
By our time, truly naked nature is seldom perceptible, and poetry still wafts like a ghost. The bus driver knows a lot about what's going on in the city, but all he knows is the creation of words and hardly anything is in it. It's a job for a poet, who can hear a lot of nonsense conversations, but doesn't have to get up and talk to customers like a taxi driver or a barber shop owner. There is always a phantom of Patterson cast by the bus driver through the glass of the moving car at different times, and his shadow is also imprinted on the city from the other side.
A lot of contradictions and reconciliations can be seen from a person's expression, but even the strongest expression will become dull in the eyes of the beholder. These words may be momentary moods, or bragging rights, or some kind of focused taste and unspoken confidence. Bus drivers after get off work also like to walk into the black bar and continue to stretch, experiencing the touch and air of the other side of the city. The most comfortable air diffuses the smell of alcohol, and the night is the dark shadow of the day. The bar is the car of the night, and the words in the bar are the shadow of the shadow of Paterson City.
Poetry is everything in this film. The poet opens every crevice in his body to allow natural poetry and verbal poetry to penetrate in and integrate with the soul, and then slowly return the poetry of the soul to the world. The process requires no fancy vocabulary, finesse, or painstaking dedication, and everything flows between the two Patersons. The poet's spiritual activities are projected in the city all the time, and the projection of the city is also affecting the poet at every moment. The poet just doesn't seem enthusiastic enough. He cares about his lover's dream so much that he repeats the dream over and over again in the small town.
