When watching "Beautiful Rosetta", the first reaction is that it is very similar to "children": it looks like a documentary and a filming shot that is swaying and tight, and the focus is narrowed to a few characters. , It accurately conveys the plight of life and the helplessness of the human heart, and it also has a sudden stop but a tiny bright ending.......
Maybe it’s this kind of comparison, which makes me think that the two brothers are very powerful. They understand what they are doing very well. They are superb. They are like top chefs. They don’t need fancy new techniques, but the same simple knife skills and neat cooking. In the cooking process, the ingredients are changed, and the special flavor of the food is expertly brought out.
Some people say that images have limitations in describing people's hearts. Many subtle moods can be described in words, but it is difficult to express them in abstract images. For example, "have a lot of commitment, and walked very heavy." Such adjectives. It's not an action, it's difficult to be performed by an actor. What’s amazing about “Beautiful Rosetta” is that it can tell stories in a very documentary way, but it uses “symbols” to guide people to describe the character’s psychology very accurately.
For example, when Rosetta stumbled into the mud with a gas cylinder, it made the audience clearly realize the reality that she could not afford, and almost crushed her body and mind. This kind of narration is literary and artistic, but the director laid out the whole film and used a scene to show the subtle physical and mental state, without any pretentiousness. For example, in the film "Child" or "Beautiful Rosetta", the fragments falling into the water make the original realistic story have some drama and symbolism, and these real life drama elements are inlaid just right and have impact. But it is not sensational.
In terms of the plot, I can understand the mood of the heroine of "Beautiful Rosetta" better than that of "Child."
Rosetta is an 18-year-old girl, she is not naive, she is so strong, she wants to live the "normal life" like others. She wants to maintain her dignity, she wants to live a life that is not embarrassing.
Rosetta lives in a campsite and changes her rain boots in the grass every day when she comes back from the city. People will be surprised to hear that she lives in a campsite. She has a mother who makes her unable to resist. Her mother is drunk and abandons herself, and she often has relationships with others casually. She has no job, no friends, no medical insurance.
She met a boy by accident. The boy asked her what kind of music she likes to listen to, and asked her if she would like to have some wine, and the boy pulled her up and danced. She rushed out. A little bit of warmth in the cold will only make the loneliness of the original world more real, and will only collapse the original strength of the armed forces. Even if it is such a humble pleasure, it doesn't belong to her.
The saddest thing is that in the film she played two roles and said to herself: You have a job. I have a job. You made friends. I made friends. You will live a normal life, and I will live a normal life. You will not live on the streets. I will not live on the streets.
Very distressed, these things turned out to be luxury items for her.
There are some regular repetitions in the film, crossing city roads, changing shoes, catching fish, making mom stop drinking, looking for work, and losing her job. In the fixed cycle, the situation that the girl faces in each reincarnation becomes more and more severe and hopeless.
A teacher once mentioned that at the station, he often met seemingly ordinary people to ask him for change. He was curious, how can a person be forced by the environment or forced by himself to put down his self-esteem and beg? The so-called "dignity" is very important to live as a human being and not an animal.
When everything around life becomes difficult, how do you live as a person?
This is the problem that girls face, maintaining dignity and living.
She bears this proposition very prematurely. She has hesitated to see her dead. She decides to betray her friends. The comity she faces is not an innocuous pear, but a cruel choice in life.
In the end, the girl didn't even have enough gas to commit suicide, so she needed to change it herself. It's really black. Such realistic movies are usually difficult to finish. After all, a happy reunion is hard to reach in this situation.
However, the director did not give an open ending that was completely unexplained. In the last paragraph of the girl's attempted suicide, the climax tightened, and the betrayed boy rode a motorcycle around the girl carrying the gas canister. The girl was forced to a critical point, and she had no strength to cover up or pretend. She fell to the ground, embarrassed as usual. The boy let go of his hostility and pulled her who had fallen to the ground. Maybe he knows that it is the invincible reality that oppresses each other. This is the salvation with light at the end of the film, without hypocrisy or excessive sympathy or kindness.
The beautiful Rosetta is worth seeing.
