Monday to Sunday
Paterson, a bus driver in the small town of Paterson, repeats, the life of a machine
Poetry is the uncertainty in Patterson's life
The film uses a lot of imagery and symbolism, and Paterson is full of inspiration. When inspiration bursts, there will always be a picture of gurgling water superimposed with the content of the poem.
The five sets of twins that appear Monday through Friday symbolize Patterson's years of repetitive monotony, and the different twins every day also symbolize the small changes and freshness that poetry brings to him. Further symbolizing the duality of life, identity and self-identity for Patterson and most people.
Just like the little girl of the fifth pair of twins who also loves poetry said: a bus driver who loves poetry, very interesting.
That's it, people's identities are multiple, and the outer and inner selves are often like twins. The commonality is that they coexist in their own bodies and have the same physical appearance, but the difference lies in the souls like "twins' personality differences". the difference.
Take Patterson, bus driver is his occupation, social identity. And the poet is his self-identity, his social identity.
The image of twins appears many times in the film, which means that this may be the reason. In real life, seek the intersection of outer and inner.
A week in Paterson's life seemed repetitive and boring. But every day will be slightly different, and these differences need to be experienced and felt by each of us. This is also the source of happiness in ordinary life.
