, New Jersey, there is a man named Paterson (Adam Driver Adam Driver). He is just an ordinary bus driver, and he lives in a small house with his wife. He brings his lunch to work every morning, whether it is windy or rainy, and drives the car to listen to the gossip of the passengers. After get off work, I went to a nearby bar for a drink after dinner. It's really a monotonous can't live in monotony anymore.
Although he is usually taciturn, one of his hobbies is writing poetry. Before leaving the car every day, especially during lunch breaks, he likes to sit in front of the famous local waterfall and scribble a few words on his notes. His wife Laura (Golshifteh Farahani) loves to paint and design clothes or decorate rooms at home, hoping to make a small fortune by making small cakes. To this end, she always encouraged Patterson to publish her own work. Patterson also doted on Laura, almost responsive to her.
Laura made a small fortune selling her little cake that day. She decided to celebrate her career success and the two went out to see a movie. When he came back, he found that the notebook in which he wrote poetry had been bitten by the dog at home, leaving nothing behind. Years of hard work were in vain.
He sat in front of the waterfall again, just in time for a Japanese tourist. The Japanese was considered a poet, and he made a special trip to Patterson to visit Gu Siyou to find the relics of the local poet. When the two talked, there was still some speculation. When they parted, the tourist also gave him a notebook.
After returning home, Patterson returned to writing poetry.
This is the story of an ordinary public car driver, a house, a wife, and a stable job. In today's eyes, he is an old-fashioned man despite his youth, and despite his wife's Apple phone and tablet, he has nothing. He doesn't even have a TV at home, and he still seems to be living the life of a farmer in a small town in the Midwest forty or fifty years ago. His pastime is walking the dog after dinner and chatting up a few words with the bartender in the bar, the life of an ordinary person.
His wife filled the void in his life. Even when they were together, he only answered briefly and promised his wife Laura. Laura is Iranian, but her cheerful and curious personality brings joy to their family's life. She paints and paints all over the house, makes small cakes with a special style, and also spends money on a guitar Learn to sing. She brought anger to the family.
But he still has his own relief, which is to write poetry.
Writing poetry is often about telling others how they feel with beautiful language. If you feel that you can't express it in a single language, you can turn it into a song. Chinese words are used to sing, and there were also bards in Europe. That's why Bob Dylan won a literary award this year. Even Zheng Xipo in "In the Name of the People" wanted to use money to publish his poems. Patterson wrote poetry without such extravagance. When his notebook manuscript was completely chewed up by a dog, he said that these were sentences written on water. He expressed his love for Laura in his poems, and even in such a shabby little town as Paterson City, he could also have sweet memories. Or track down your own growth. He didn't necessarily want to be in the company of William Clark William, the famous local poet he was proud of, but he was content to think of doing the same thing as William. But he still had the chance to meet like-minded poets, such as the girl and Japanese tourists, and resonate with them.
When I saw this passage, I remembered that at the end of "School of Foreign Affairs", a few casual characters were specially described to compare with the famous people who chased fame and fortune in the book. Patterson is Ji Xianian, who can write in "School of Foreign Affairs", Mrs. Wang who sells fire-paper bobbins, Jing Yuan, a tailor, and Gai Kuan, who runs a teahouse. Here, does the director want to satirize the social atmosphere again?
The film was nominated for a Palme d'Or at the Cannes Film Festival.
Director Jim Jarmusch Jim Jarmusch's independent films have been nominated and won many awards at the Cannes Film Festival. He was born in the American Midwest, so the film seems to have a little Midwest town flavor.
Adam Driver has been nominated for several Emmys for the TV series "City Girl". He has become famous due to his outstanding performance. Here he became an ordinary person with a cold but subtle heart. He loves his wife in every possible way but rarely expresses it in words. He can patiently listen to the complaints of his colleagues, and he can boldly take a pistol from a person who is crazy because of a broken love. Of course, you can also have serious conversations with other people who love poetry. In short, he created a distinct personality for Patterson. He will have a major role in future Star Wars (see my blog posts "New Beginnings Star Wars: The Force Awakens", "New Begins Star Wars: The Force Awakens" and "Never Returning" "When You Are Young"" "When You Never Come Back" "When You Are Young").
Born in Tehran, Golshifteh Farahani has been nominated and won numerous awards in Asia and Europe. It looks a bit like Gong Li in the photo.
Here are two of Paterson's poems
Another one
When you're a child
You learn You know
There are three dimensions:
Height, width, and depth
Like a shoebox Like a shoe box
The later you hear
There is a fourth dimension: There is a fourth dimension
Time. Time
Hmm. Hey
Then some say
There can be five, six, seven... There can be five, six, seven. . .
I knock off work,
Have a beer
At the bar. Pour a glass of wine
I look down at the glass
And feel glad. Feel happy
************ **************************************************** ****************
Pumpkin
My little pumpkin
I like to think about other girls
But the truth is
If you ever left me Once you leave me
I'd tear my heart out
And never put it back
there'll never be anyone like you
How embarrassing. How unspeakable.
