Speaking of the movie,
I have never seen a poet on time, but the bus driver is on time, and the rhythm of the city is also The same, every day starts on time, and every day ends on time, so Patterson, as a punctual person, does not write well in his poems, and his girlfriend has the same aesthetics of black and white grids. I think this is Jia Mu Xu deliberately arranged, maybe he just wanted to photograph the soft state of this city, it may not be good, it may not need to be good.
When his book of poems was torn off, he said, "It doesn't matter, those are just sentences written on the water." The
poems are written in general, but this sentence is quite interesting. You don’t want a certain event, a certain relationship, a certain music, a certain rhythm to stop, but maybe a really worthy image will appear after the event is over, maybe that is the beginning, or the beginning, the end is actually It doesn't matter, what matters is accident, it's Kieslowski. For example, at the end, Patterson met a tourist from Japan by chance and talked about Jean Dubuffet. He said that he was a weatherman at the Eiffel Tower in Paris in 1922. He talked about translators and said that translating poetry is like taking a shower in a raincoat. These accidental ramblings, these moments other than punctuality, these sudden, unknowingly or just the beauty that Jia Muxu wanted to express. Just as the turning point is often due to misunderstandings, the movie came here may only be an accidental action during the shooting process, but it was just right, so Ja Muxu asked the Japanese tourists to give Patterson an empty book before leaving, saying: "Yes. At that time, the blank page represents more possibilities.”
Since the actor who played the Japanese tourist is Masatoshi Nagase, I naturally think of the "Mystery Train" by Jamusu in 1989. Therefore, the movie can be changed here again. As a continuation of another movie, just as the director did in "Ghost Killer" and "The Limits of Control", our visitor may be a killer, perhaps with the thoughts of his ex-girlfriend. Revisited the United States, even though he told Patterson that he just wanted to see the city where William Carlos Williams lived.
I like the carefulness of Jamusch, the implicit meaning of watching a play from the casting, you can say that I think too much, but I think this is a kind of fun as a movie fan.
Then the movie is over. You can't seem to tell what it says.
Just as you don't know what he was staring at at the end, or you don't know what I am trying to forget tonight. You don’t know, you can’t describe, and the sentence you can’t describe is poetry.
