Our culture likes to believe that life is grand, tragic, or complicated, especially with the way things have been the past year and half.

Paterson is an ode to everyday working people and every day people in general.

Paterson lives in the moment and quietly oberseves the beauty in every day things and people. Whereas other characters want to complicate life, or "glamorize their pain." His co-worker makes his life sound like one big problem, another treats his love life like a tragic Shakespeare play, and his wife/girlfriend has a lot of big glamorous dreams and changes them often. Not that there is anything wrong with that, but they all want something more out or life.

Paterson shows us that life is really what you make of it. And that we should stop and smell the roses and appreciate things not matter how small that are in our life.
