      artistic, realistic

      Love this movie because it fulfills my artistic imagination - real. I remember watching "Breaking the Waves" in high school and was shocked. The film can be shot like this, the story can be told like this, but looking back on it after many years, it was too artistic and seemed a bit pretentious.
      And this movie is very real, it confronts all aspects of life, especially all aspects of poverty.
      However, it does not pursue a sense of deliberate reality, nor does it seek to stimulate...

      Under the tension of high-profile shooting is the over-excessive formalism

      The high-profile shooting tension is over-excessive formalism - Hollywood in the 1950s handled it in a natural, real, appropriate way... Like They Shoot Horses, Don't They? . Hand-held photography is bland and tasteless, and what it embodies is a kind of "author"-style executive imagination. It's also monotonous and unconvincing just on topic.

      Now that I'm talking about all-or-nothing, I'll just say one more thing: that film incorporates social context into the narrative, while...

      Difficult survival, and small hope that light a match

      After reading it smoothly, I am deeply helpless, cruel and unbearable to look directly at. The mother who

      makes people collapse and despair, can't work smoothly, and because of the pain in her body,

      why should she secretly go fishing? ? The male protagonist is so cute and he worked hard to help the female protagonist dance in the cramped

      space. It's so cute . I can only kill for myself... It's cruel enough; but I feel like I can't live anymore... At the end, the...

      Stomach pain and strength, fall on the road

      The cold life has broken your wings. The picture is simple, but profound. Hold the camera hard while you walk through the bumpy machine harder than anyone. The irony is that you turned down the help of your only friend for dignity, and then betrayed him for a job, dehumanizing it. A self-defeating, alcoholic mother becomes a burden to you, and you just want to live a normal life. But life is always on the opposite side of you, how can you do what you want. You say to yourself, "I'm Rosetta,...

      Rosetta

      "Your name is Rosetta, my name is Rosetta. You get a job, I get a job. You have a friend, I have a friend. You live a normal life, I live a normal life. You don't Staying the same, I won't stay the same. Good night, good night."

      In this section, the scene where Rosetta is lying on the bed and preparing to commit suicide at the end is the same, it should be a contrast echo. And the mood is completely different. Such a tenacious, tenacious and hopeful young man finally had such a...

      A lot of close-up shots and close-ups are on your stubborn face, which looks helpless but does not need sympathy. When survival reaches the point where everything can be discarded, it becomes dispensable. The little people plot of the Darney brothers brings us sadness and...

      Excessive close-ups, repetitive details and the appearance of unreal charity boys make the film seem contrived and manipulative. Once you see through the doctrinal arrangement behind the documentary-style shooting technique, the perception gradually weakens, and finally it becomes the most uninteresting work of Da Nai so...

      The form tends to be perfect, which is different from the state of complete absence of society in "Children". It is a tragedy in which marginalized people try to integrate into society but are rejected... The "big" problem of the lack of social structural criticism is left to a single film , It's a bit difficult to be a strong man, of course I don't deny that some movies can cover everything. I feel that if you focus on the finer details of local life, it is likely that the larger social...

      The running Rosetta, this image is too vivid. The close-up from start to finish makes it impossible to take your eyes off her. This girl carried the heaviest burden with childlike panting and a stubborn stamina. The gas tank that was dragged on the deathbed (perhaps the externalization of the shackles of the mind), the motorcycle screaming provocatively in the ear, no one can understand that kind of despair (although the close-up + hand-held makes people have no sense of direction and dizziness...

    Evaluation action

    "Rosetta" has a documentary style, expressing the theme that if society cannot protect the rights of young people in their work, it is possible for them to embark on the path of crime. The film is not sensational, nor does it attempt to beautify the soul of the protagonist Rosetta. The film was tracked and shot by a hand-held camera, with a very realistic style and fast lens switching, presenting a miserable and cold picture, thus...
