In the movie "Roma", the female employer Sophia and the maid Cleo both face the same predicament. When the two women faced difficulties, their choices and mental journeys were completely different. After a long struggle and hard work, both of them reached a reconciliation with life in their own way.
The seemingly weak and helpless maid Cleo has a very strong heart. For her strong and forbearing, reality is easy to accept. After confirming that her boyfriend abandoned her pregnant self, Cleo did not struggle. At the same time, Cleo is well aware of her predicament, so at the end of the film, she confides "I didn't want to have her" to the children and the female employer.
Unlike Cleo's strong forbearance, Sophia, the female employer, took a long time to face the reality. Sophia already knew her marital status was deteriorating when her husband told the family he was going to Canada on a business trip. When she parted with her husband, she hugged him tightly, kissed him, and tried to impress him with the warmth of "I and the children are waiting for you to come back". But all this to no avail. Sophia was hopeless and had nowhere to ask for help, so she could only vent viciously at Cleo. I believe that Sophia, who has calmed down, also knows that it is completely unnecessary to do so. Her husband left because he has lost his love for his family, so everything in the family is not pleasing to his eyes. He complained that "there is shit everywhere. ', not a complaint about the cleanliness itself, but one of many excuses to leave. Sophia couldn't accept the fact that her husband didn't love her, didn't care about her children, and didn't love the family, so she moved her vent to a place where she couldn't turn around and used the "shit" incident to throw her temper at Cleo.
Cleo approached Sofia to talk about the predicament she was facing. Her most relevant question at this time was "Will you fire me?" Cleo knew very well that being abandoned was a fact, so when Sofia asked about her child's father , Although she was sad, she didn't have any cover, and answered "he left" bluntly. But keeping her job is very important to Cleo. It is the foundation of her existence, and with this foundation, Cleo has the opportunity to think about how to deal with the deeper crises in her life. In stark contrast to this is Sophia's second struggle, just before Cleo talks to her, Sophia repeatedly explains the children, in a letter to Dad, "I love you Dad, I miss you Dad! "
The so-called "bystander clear", compared to Cleo's experience, Sophia is an outsider, she can provide the most effective help to Sophia from a more objective perspective. When she learned that Cleo had been abandoned by her boyfriend, she did not make any judgments, nor did she condemn the scumbag with righteous indignation, but made it clear that she would not fire Cleo, comforted Cleo, and would take her for an examination. As far as this matter is concerned, Sophia gave Cleo the greatest support within her ability. The so-called "authority fan" is that after finishing the conversation with Cleo, she also complained that the younger son did not write about missing his father in the letter, and blamed her daughter, "Didn't I ask you to help him?"
Compared with Sophia, Cleo is more rational and calm. She went to her boyfriend Fermin's village to find him and told him "I just want to give you back your coat", which was not so much a last-ditch effort as a "clearance" with Fermin Boundaries" farewell. Since Fermin doesn't intend to take responsibility, Cleo doesn't need to miss everything related to him. So even in this conversation, when Fermin threatened to beat up Cleo and insulted her as a lowly maid, Cleo had nothing to fear.
A small episode that appears here confirms the firmness and purity of Clio. Qigong master Professor Zwick made a seemingly simple but difficult movement, telling everyone that only the most willpower and the most focused people can do it. No one present can do it, and Cleo did it with ease, which also shows that Cleo is actually very clear about his choice in his heart, and his heart is very pure, so that he can focus and complete this high level. Difficult action.
Sophia's state at this time is in stark contrast to Cleo. Sophia finds that her husband cannot be saved is a foregone conclusion, and her anger reaches its peak. She hid in the bathroom and called friends to complain about her husband and mistresses, but she didn't send a penny home. When she found out that her eldest son had learned that the family was in a state of disintegration, her first reaction was not comfort, but slapped her son and shouted, "Are you eavesdropping?" Immediately afterwards, guilt flooded into his heart, frantically apologizing to the child, and once again throwing his anger on Cleo "why didn't you stop him". Sophia suffered two emotional breakdowns in a short period of time, because it was difficult for her to accept the fact that her marriage failed, that there was no hope of saving her, and that her husband was ruthless and unjust.
Sophia finally reached a reconciliation with her life. One day, she returned drunk and had no anger and resentment. She said to Cleo, "No matter what people say, we women are lonely." Cleo's expression was very calm at this time, as if she had already figured out this matter.
The catastrophe of Cleo is the tragedy of production. Intuitively, Cleo witnessed the murder in the furniture store, was pointed at by a pistol, was frightened, and showed signs of production; the outbreak of tourism on the street and the suppression of the government blocked the entire city, and she failed to be sent to the hospital in time, As a result, a dead fetus was finally delivered in the crisis.
In fact, Cleo's shock and disappointment came more from his disappointment with humanity. Cleo once asked ex-boyfriend Fermin if he was preparing for the Olympics, and Fermin said yes. This is a glorious thing. In fact, the trainee Fermin and his party used force to brutally suppress the students, and they have reached the point of paying close attention to each other. In fact, the purpose of clearing the scene on the street has been achieved. students fleeing. Fermin even raised a gun at Clio, and for a few seconds, it was hard to say whether Fermin wanted to fish in troubled waters and get rid of Clio at once. Clio, who has completely bid farewell to Fermin, still has to suffer such a relentless pursuit. Clio's personal experience is exactly the same as that of revolutionary students in this great era.
At the end of the movie, Cleo, who can't swim, groped in the surging waves without hesitation, and rescued Paco and Sophie from drowning. After a walk between life and death, Cleo hugged the children tightly. , said: "I didn't want to give birth to her." The movie "Roma" climaxed in the promotion of this line. It has been mentioned before that Cleo, who is sane and sober, knows that it is not a wise move to bring a child into this world, but she is strong and forbearing and still overcomes many difficulties and tries to deal with the crises in her life, but in the end the child still does not. come into this world.
"I didn't want to give birth to her" is Cleo's own choice. If Cleo decides not to have a child, then all the guilt, regret and responsibility will eventually be borne by himself; and the final death of the child is cruel and ruthless. As a result of the crushing, there are many factors that Cleo cannot control. She not only lost her child, but also experienced the ugliness of human nature and society. If Cleo sticks to the "original" idea, will the emotional burden be lighter and the degree of disappointment and suffering less? Cleo couldn't keep his children in the torrent of the times, but he tried his best to save the children he took care of in the waves. Fortunately, the children's love and gratitude to Cleo are also sincere, "Cleo, we I love you very much", the picture at this time is the female employer Sophia and the children hugging her tightly, just like Cleo rescued the children from the waves, all the waves will pass, and life will return to peace in redemption .
