live poetically

In fact, it's not as special as I imagined. If you follow the male protagonist's perspective, it's actually quite bland. It's flat, but peaceful. The male protagonist's extremely sensitive perception, ethereal lens takes us to experience. I think the prerequisite for a poet is not only the outstanding output, that is, the ability to express, but also the delicate and sensitive input and absorption. Following the protagonist and his wife, we unearth those small happiness in life. I admire the way they get along, one is warm and the other is sensitive, and the differences in personality are based on mutual respect, and the fusion is amazing.

Of course, as a movie, there are still some ups and downs, so in the last half hour, Ma Wen broke the male protagonist's poetry collection, and my heart was broken. Then the director changed hands and arranged a meeting with a bosom friend, we all laughed, and we also knew that the probability of such an ending in life is not high. Probably because of the length of the movie, the time for the protagonist to pick up the pen was shortened.

He will definitely buy a smartphone eventually, and continue writing poetry with Siri.

Paterson quotes

  • Everett: You love somebody, more than anything in the whole damn world. You... worship her. You don't wanna be *alive* without her, and... she says she doesn't want you. You're just... dirt.

    Doc: Damn brother! You should be an actor.

    Everett: [nods] I am... an actor.

    [Paterson turns his head away and tries not to laugh]

  • Doc: Lou Costello has got to be the most famous person from Paterson.

    Paterson: Yeah, probably. Yeah, I mean, he... he's got that statue, and he's got his own park.

    Doc: Hey, I mean Alexander Hamilton has a statue, others got statues, but not they own park! Hell, even Fetty Wap don't have no park!

    [both laugh]
