"Patterson" continues Jarmusch's always strong personal style. The storyline of the movie is very simple. It is the life of a bus driver named Patterson for seven days. He repeats simple and ordinary things every day. He likes to write poems in his diary in his spare time. I also have poetry in my mind while driving.
He has an understanding, loving wife, and a dog. He also likes to listen to all kinds of stories told by the passengers on the bus, observe all the seemingly insignificant things in life, walk the dog to the bar for a few drinks after dinner, and chat with the people in the bar.
I will also be pleasantly surprised when I meet a little girl and a Japanese who likes poetry, but no one knows that he writes poetry except his wife. The wife thinks he should print out his poems, but Patterson didn't do it for a year. , and finally agreed to print it over the weekend. But after watching the movie, he found that the diary had been bitten by a dog, and Patterson accepted it after being sad for a while. At the end of the film, when the Japanese who likes to write poetry asks him if he is a poet, he says he is just a bus driver, then the Japanese poet gives him a blank notebook as a gift, and he continues to write poetry.
The tone of the whole film is very bland, but the whole film has a lot of details worth playing, not much to say. Although there is almost no dramatic conflict, it is precisely this peace that strikes me the most. Ji Geng said in an article: "It's obvious that growing up is not fun. Whether you want it or not, time will turn you into an aggressive but unavoidable adult." In the movie , whether it's Patterson's boss, the bar owner, or the couple who broke up, they're all aggressive people in some way. But Patterson never seemed to be angry, only occasionally sad about the loss. He always seemed to be a bystander, watching everything around him come and going, and then documenting them. I have seen some comments that this movie is nothing more than diaosi's obscenity, but I think such people are really powerful people.
Paste the poem at the end of the film. By the way, the poems used in the film are all written by the contemporary American poet Ron Padgett. The movie can be watched online at station B. This is a movie with a strong personal perception. It is recommended to close the barrage. There's an old song in
The Line there's an old song my grandfather used to sing my grandfather used to sing that
has the question, " Or would you rather be a fish? " ? In the same song is the same question but with a mule and a pig but the one I hear sometimes
in my head is the fish one. Just
that one line As if the rest of the song didn't have to be there .
