"There are a thousand Hamlets in a thousand's eyes." — Shakespeare
There are a thousand Hamlets in the eyes of a thousand people.
Advanced art is not history, it is not politics, it is not for you to reason with, it is not for you to agree with, or more than that.
From the movie "Roma",
What some people see is a story, a piece of history;
(It tells about a heroine who was abandoned by her husband and has four children, and a maid who was abandoned by the revolutionaries, and how they went from a simple employment relationship to facing the fate under the influence of the times. To the story of interdependence. And the historical background is before and after the 1971 Mexican riots.)
Some people see the director's childhood and his understanding of war;
(As a middle-class director, I look at the relationship between my parents from the perspective of my childhood, feel the love of the maid for him, and understand the meaning of war as an adult.)
Some people see the tenacity of women and the selfishness of men who do not take responsibility;
(The domestic political situation is unstable, and the war environment is imminent at any time, the bourgeoisie middle class is carnival, the proletarian civilians are irritable, and women go from passive acceptance to active choice...)
Some people see that wrong choices lead to unfortunate results;
(The heroine has a slightly neurotic and obsessive-compulsive character, the maid's kindness and simplicity... Fate does not deviate from the axis of the character)
Some people have compassion in their hearts;
Some people have hatred in their hearts;
Some people will have regrets in their hearts...
From a philosophical point of view, there is no absolute truth.
It's just who we are and who we see.
—Talk about the images of this movie,
The lens and angle of view are very flat, and the black and white tones are more like a photo album. The outline of the set line is obvious, calm and rational. Like a science student's work of art. Some shadows of The Grand Budapest Hotel.
