Looking forward to the 15 meters of waves, but only two meters of waves were set off

Somewhat disappointed, "Roma" did not bring me more feelings and shocks, just like the line in the movie "The waves are fifteen meters high, how can there be only two meters." I was looking forward to giving me fifteen meters The stormy waves, but only two meters of waves were set off. Most of the content of the film is derived from the childhood memories of director Cuaron, but his perspective is too objective and indifferent, which limits the social turmoil in Mexico at that time. The deep excavation of the intertwining of individual fates. The excessive use of metaphorical montages in the film is counterproductive. Of course, the camera movement is very comfortable, and the sight and hearing are great. At first, the repeated panning in the room made me feel very tired, but I didn’t understand it until the end of the film. For the director's intentions, I won't give too much spoilers here. Of course, the film also touched me. When mother Sophia told the children that their father abandoned them, she did not guide the children to remember and hate their father, but to maintain the image of the father in the children's hearts. However, in the face of the children's questions, Sophia's two "don't know" words poured out how much sadness. Although the hostess Sophia and the maid Cleo in the film did not become depressed but were reborn after being abandoned by men, the film was already destined to be a female elegy.

    It can be used to explore the meaning of black and white images. The film lays a picture of "where is my hometown going?" Its sociological value is similar to the current hot non-fiction text, very personal, but still not unique enough. Compared with color, digital black and white is more transparent, and it can give it a more "watching" texture and more humanistic temperament. Its artistry is amazing enough thanks to the director's excellent skills. The heroine is too functional, relying on conflict to drive passive change, and emotions are ignored, and Cuaron is still a bit tech-nazi. In particular, his description of the social structure has an idealized tendency, and he does not dare to face the "father", which cannot be forgiven.

    The different text levels interact and blend together, and at the same time carry the creators’ most intimate and personal memories and emotions of Mexico’s childhood. This perceptual, private and magnificent image force bursts out, just like the last wave of the film. The waves continue to hit and try to flood every audience in front of the big screen.
