'Finding Vivian Maier' movie review

On the streets of Chicago in the 1950s and 1960s, Vivian Maier was probably just a little-known woman who never showed her pictures to anyone, or even took them herself. The whole picture, but there is no denying that she is a talented "street photography" artist. She has always been alone and is extremely protective of her privacy. Most people think she is French because she speaks English with a French accent, but in fact she was born in New York and only spent time in France with her mother. . She becomes impatient with the child and sometimes becomes suddenly neurotic. Her loneliness is innate, and she actively chooses to live on the edge of the world, not wanting to share it with anyone. She is aloof, withdrawn, independent of the world, hidden from the world, but closest to the world. She is full of curiosity about this world, discovers the beauty that others don't pay attention to, and captures thousands of vivid moments. She is a snail and a bee, and the inner abundance and delicacy are only related to herself. At every moment when the shutter is pressed, she is happy, and when she returns to her room full of newspapers and storage boxes every day, she is satisfied. She did not let herself lose the creation of beauty, she insisted on her love all her life, lonely and free, she was living bravely.

    The loneliness of the photographer is something I deeply identify with.

    Vivian Maier's too legendary and mysterious experience has become the main focus of the film. Since she has passed away, the documentary can only piece this person together through the photos, videos, tapes, letters, and the accounts of many people she took. Of course, this is more of a very subjective and hypothetical Miss Meier. Her love and devotion to photography, as well as her very gregarious personality, doomed her loneliness to become a legend.
