I didn't think the director was a man,

I thought it was a female director who could focus so much on these two women, two ordinary and great women.

The time is in 1971, the black and white picture pays tribute to that ancient history, to that moment, that time.

A city in South America.

A originally happy middle-class family, a hostess, a maid, and four innocent and lovely children. Busy, busy, and happy.

Every day is peaceful and quiet, the hostess waits for her husband to come home from get off work, eat together, and watch TV.

But the calm was broken.

The male master cheated, he didn't give money to the family, he abandoned his family.

The maid is pregnant, but her boyfriend runs away when she hears it. She finally found out his whereabouts, but he ruthlessly rejected the child.

The hostess was very tolerant and hoped that she would give birth to her. Although her own family was on the verge of being broken and she was desperate, she still had the courage to take care of the whole family.

A parade, a parade about Che Guevara, shot and killed unarmed protesters, the maid saw her boyfriend, who was also one of the perpetrators, using his favorite martial arts, to bully the weak. The maid's amniotic fluid broke and she gave birth to a dead baby.

They go on a trip, the hostess confesses, the husband is not coming back, the children are desperate, and they ask if Daddy doesn't like them anymore. They have three sons and one daughter. The mother said she would work and she would take care of the family.

The three children went swimming, the waves were very strong, they disappeared into the sea, and the maid desperately saved the three children.

They start a new life.

They can do well without men.

    Prose narration does not constitute the main cause of the "weak image", on the contrary, it is a step-by-step increase in the concentration of emotions, allowing the audience to slowly let go of the pursuit of the plot, fully enter/experience the characters' hearts, and live in the era and space. , the audience sometimes becomes a bystander, and sometimes becomes a participant. But "Roma" is just a form of imitator. The editing and scheduling are all TV images. Everything is placed on one plane. To make it clear to the audience, the sense of time control and the narrative line are the stupidest connection (see above). In one scene where the owner was angry and asked the worker protagonist to hold the shit, and the next scene was really holding the shit), even if there is not much difference between TV and the big screen, the black and white makes the image too calm. Alfonso really combed 70 in depth. The face of Mexico in the 1990s? Most of the time, I don’t know why I moved. It seems to destroy the amount of information and stories for the sake of long shots. At most, he can reach the horizontal level and penetrate into the inner emotions of the characters and almost completely fail. Why does the relationship between workers and children deepen? As Hollywood superficial, Alfonso is not worth a question in front of Iosseliani, Olmi, Tati and Hou Hsiao-Hsien.

    The Venice judges woke up one after another from the drowsiness of Ravdaz's "The Woman Who Left" in 2016. It was already 2018, and they found that the movie was not over, and it evolved into "The Man Who Left". The judges were sleepy and scared. I was in awe, so I sent the Golden Lion Award to "Roma"
