      Roma: Telling the Character's Life Changes

      Alfonso Cuarón's Roma is a melodramatic narrative that reminisces about everyday life in Mexico in the early 1970s, revolving around a middle-class family and their servants.

      However, rather than focusing on the characters themselves and their experiences, Cuarón's lens carries more of the capture of the social background and atmosphere in front of or behind the characters, which is a kind of image similar to neorealism. Style, similarly, the camera is quite a lot of the time before...

      "Roma"--Women's Power Worth a Look

      I was suddenly taken to C200 to watch the in-house screening while I was studying in Xintu.

      When I saw the title, I thought it was a nostalgic movie about childhood and Mexico. Until the moment when Cleo and Sofia were in trouble at the same time, I suddenly felt that it was a female movie. "No matter what others say, we are all alone as...

      Roma: The Story of The Absence of a Man

      I watched the movie "Roma" on Netflix on its first day. This small move may seem pointless in modern times, but you know it (I mean "Roma" on Netflix) has irritated François Aymé, president of the Federation of French Art Cinemas (AFCAE). In his open letter, he made several key points, including the privatization of art, and filmmakers adapting to new global broadcast platforms; and...

      Women are weak and mothers are strong

      "A woman is weak and a mother is strong." The film "Roma" exemplifies this sentence very well. The gentle and firm strength of women is the greatest inspiration for the whole film. At the same time, this film has many aspects. They are all intriguing, seemingly unrelated events, but they pave the way for the next big thing, full of ideology.

      The element "airplane" in the film appeared for the first time in the reflection of the water at the beginning of the...

      The helpless moment of the two heroines

      "I wish 1971 all the best"

      Failed, the wine glass shattered instantly, and the maid couldn't help crying.

      Broken wine glass?

      When the husband left, the hostess tried to soothe her messy mood by rubbing her little son's head

        I like the breath of life behind black and white films. How much history I have witnessed is just the embellishment of life. Working hard is the way to write your own history. Corio, who was wounded by a man before she could get married, and Mrs. Sophie, who tried her best to keep her marriage but was powerless after all, are two epic stories. Not long after the opening, Cleo was lying on the rooftop and said, "Hey, I kinda like the feeling of being dead." We're not afraid of death, just that...

        There are three questions that need to be answered to evaluate this film: 1. What is the value of black and white images; 2. What is the purpose of the camera movement; 3. Is Alfonso Cuaron's urban appearance complex enough. The protagonist of the black and white image in the film is actually water, and "Roma" is just that...

        Alfonso Cuarón's Song of the Earth, a national treasure of Mexico's collection of civilian epic works of art. Each set of shots is carefully choreographed, but they all look so plain and natural. This is the director's ability. The second Oscar can't go...

        A typical film festival movie and panning... It seems that the fantasy is a kind of female union that can cross the exploitative relationship, but the young master's reliance on the maid can neither cross the class nor dissolve the power structure, it is more like a wishful thinking 's sustenance. Compared with the daily life in the mansion, festivals and vacations, the scenes where the maid is in love, watching a movie, and going to the countryside seem fake and embarrassing. After all, people...

        Just before watching the movie, I said that this era can no longer produce any movies that are worth watching twice. A loud slap in the face to Rome. @2018TIFF/ 20190511 Beijing giant screen second brush, the plot is completed, and the aftertaste...

      Evaluation action

      "Rome" is a memory film about unusual beauty. Director Alfonso Cuarón has an extremely keen insight into the various things in people's lives. It pushes things that are usually left in the background that are not easily detectable. To the front desk. The film recreated the scene of the Mexico City neighborhood from 1970 to 1971, and it impressed the audience. The film focuses not on children, but the confusing behaviors of adults of...
