Very disappointed :(
Slow pace in the most part of the movie.
Dreadfully Boring
While it doesn't offer any answers, it both thrills and makes you think.
I really love calm movies about introvert, ordinary lives so much. This movie shows you the ordinary life you live, and this thing is both sad and peaceful to me. It's sad because I want a change, I want a difference in my life and I'm bored of the same days that follow each other. But there will be more "empty pages" in my life and those pages can "presents more possibilities". Right? And it's peaceful because I don't know why but there are powerful, beautiful, meaningful things that every usual thing we do every day can bring. Yes, as I said it was both sad and peaceful but it made me focus on positive things. The joy of little things and the little things they bring. This movie didn't teach me this, but showed me and made me feel this. And I need that feeling in my life. I need to remember that time to time. I think it's more important to show things to someone, to make someone feel somethings than tell them. And this movie is definitely doing that. There are more things to say about the feelings and such things but generally these are my favorite points about the movie I think.I generally talked about feelings, but if I speak technically; it has a beautiful cinematography and locations and scores. I'll definitely continue to listen to the scores. While writing. While thinking. Or just because I want to listen.I watched this movie because of Jim Jarmusch by the way. I watched Only Lovers Left Alive (one of my favorite movies of all time) and I saw that he's an original and a different director and writer. Then I decided to watch his other movies. Then I watched Stranger Than Paradise. And now here I am.
Poetry..images..corners...rhythms.... everything fine
The first time I saw Paterson I gave it an 8. While I didn't miss the fact how much he loved Laura, I did miss the other thing - how much Laura loved Paterson. I'm ashamed I only understood him and completely ignored her. Even worse, she annoyed me. But then I turned it on again last night while my partner was asleep, and I needed an inspiration to write. This time I heard loud and clear when Paterson said how much Laura understood him. And she really did. To love is to understand, and Paterson understands Laura and her dreams just as much as Laura understands Peterson and his world. They love each other with love we can only be jealous of. They don't push each other, they wait, hold hands and talk solemnly. They are silent when they know words just cramp up the space. Laura's love for Peterson is love Peterson writes about. It's true and scary, their only truth. Such an exquisite poetry of a movie.
I've head so many amazing stories about this movie but hadn't come around to watch it yet. I was convinced I would love this movie, praise this movie, cry with this movie... Unfortunately, I didn't. Though the acting was good and the underlying story was good; just a man, loving his life and his wife, even when it isn't anything special, I wished it would end more than once. The movie is bland, the poetry wasn't amazing either and I just can't love it. I'm sorry.
