Beautiful Rosetta or Bastard Rosetta

Shaking shots, cold tones, dry and noisy background sounds (music is heard in only one place in the film), Rosetta's rough movements and heavy expressions (the whole film only laughed clearly once), all these movies The technique forcefully brings us into Rosetta's life of embarrassment and embarrassment, and makes us truly feel her inner world of restlessness, anxiety, and fear.

The title is "Rosetta", and Rosetta does live up to the title, appearing in every scene from beginning to end. So what kind of person is Rosetta?

Rosetta is a bastard, because she tried everything to help her actor betrayed naked. Because when the actor fell into the river (which must be Rosetta deliberately), she actually tried to die.

However, Rosetta is another kind bastard. Because she always does not forget to protect her degenerate mother; because she chooses to release a fish that is too small and worthless; more because she hopes to use her own strength to support her and her mother's shaky life.

The above is undoubtedly contradictory, and where is the cause of the contradiction?

From the perspective of nature, human beings are to a certain extent equivalent to animals in zoos. When the foundation of survival is threatened, humans will be like animals. They will not hesitate to abandon the moral bottom line and the rules of behavior. Let’s eat”, I won’t say more.

But is the reason only that simple?

There is a small detail in the film. Not long after the opening, Rosetta did not go directly to her "trailer house" after getting off the bus. She hurried to the woods where she lived. This detail fully shows that Rosetta is a girl with strong self-esteem, and can reflect her strength and eagerness from the side.

Therefore, the reason for Rosetta, who is kind by nature, to behave in contempt, on the one hand is this cold and cruel reality, on the other hand, it is undeniable that she has such an extremely strong personality. This kind of human personality often leads to outdated behavior. The extreme behavior of, is not uncommon in real life.

When the actor asks Rosetta to help her lay hands and bake muffins, the audience must think this is good. But Rosetta just thinks this is not a formal job, and is unwilling to accept it at all, because she has greater "ambition"... So, can she simply attribute it to reality?

At the end, Rosetta quit the job she got through betraying her boyfriend, perhaps after a series of fierce struggles between self-affirmation and self-denial. The result was that self-denial won.

When her betrayed and furious boyfriend appeared again, the strong Rosetta finally burst into tears. At that moment, her self-esteem completely collapsed. While tears broke the bank, they also washed away the long-standing backlog in her heart. Karma. And her boyfriend also showed commendable understanding and tolerance at this moment.

Rosetta, Rosetta, you should understand now, right? You are not nothing, you already have things that many people can't expect in their entire lives. Cheer up, after crying, I hope you can stand up again and face the world with a smile instead of just being strong.
