Paterson is a poet and Laura is his poetry.

Compared with the identity of a poet, being Laura's lover is an identity that Paterson has always managed and cherished. He has no expectations and no complaints about what happens every day. In addition to his wife Laura, he is looking forward to it every day. Kissing in the morning, eating her prepared lunch in the afternoon and looking at her pictures in the iron box, and going home in the evening listening to her share her inner world to herself. If the events of each day were according to the schedule, the strange dinner that his wife prepared should be the most unexpected thing in his dull life. No matter how unpalatable it was, he was also grateful for the love she gave. Some people may think that he is very depressed in front of his wife and won't tell the truth. But what I saw was that he loved her very much, and he felt very happy when he smiled when he loved her. No matter how unrealistic her dream was, he would not fight it. How many times he could actually say no to her, but he gently supported her as best he could. Comparing the two owners of the bar, Romeo and Juliet and the Patersons, the biggest difference is that the Patersons are not willing to say hurtful things to each other. They both care about each other's feelings and care about each other's happiness. Paterson doesn't see his love of writing poetry as a dream, but he doesn't take Laura's dream of changing every day. Life is so boring that there is nothing to share, but they are still willing to listen carefully, respond gently, and cooperate. It doesn't matter that the notebook was destroyed by Marvin, because it's all about Laura, from Laura. As long as he fell asleep and woke up beside her every day, no matter how boring the world was, it wouldn't affect his happiness. This kind of boring life really makes me very envious, it is the love I want to hear.

    He once said that he would rather take pictures of walking the dog than the emperor. Jiamusu, who is always on the road, this time is about the inner wandering of a literary couple in a seven-day repetitive monotonous life. One is a bus driver who loves to write poetry, and the other is a A housewife who dreams of being a painter and a singer. The style is still very Jarmusch, with fixed shots, hard cuts in black scenes, subtle embarrassment, humor and absurdity, and Shar Pei's acting skills. (Later I really got the dog Palme d’Or

    I drove a bus through the neighborhoods that were both sunny and cloudy, wandering day after day with a few lines of poetry. The twins and trivial stories in the car enrich the same trip every day. Within a week of dreams as horses and poems, he kissed his lover, raised the post box, and brought back the intoxicating breath from the bar. He was frustrated only twice, and was forced to pick up the rusty phone and face a collection of poems that was bitten by a dog. He has the precision of a clock and an imprecise heart.
