TI H @MeInCharacter May 4 I would be remiss if I didn't tell you that I did fast-forward through a handful of spots in the film, because I don't like poetry, even though I imagine the poetry was pretty good. That means I might have missed a thing or two, but not enough to downvote PATERSON. /// I want to tell you that this is the story of a quiet-spoken poet who is on a journey to get his writing seen by others. But never does this movie make that clear, nor should it. It's just that I need to see it that way, or I won't be able to accept the open-ended denouement of the film. But it's not a Lady-or-the-Tiger ending either. The movie doesn't set you up for an anti-climax. The whole movie is anti-climax, slice-of-life. /// Our main character is named Paterson, and he drives a bus down Paterson Street in the New Jersey Town of Paterson. That is only the first coincidence of the movie, and by the end credits, I dare you not to feel as though all the coincidences don't add up to something supernatural.

It was like a day in the life of two extraordinarily ordinary people who live a drab, boring life and seem to be okay with that. There is a TON more drama in my own life. It was so boring that my mind kept drifting, and I got distracted by my dogs/cat, the internet, etc. etc. So I've now watched 3/4 of the movie and am not going to finish watching it. I wish I could get that hour and 45 minutes back. See more Tim G @tmgreene22 Mar 14 Not sure there is a ton of there there but a pleasant enough quiet diversion.
