Seven months ago I didn't take this comment about Roma by Miriam, and I still do today. Perhaps this national culture has never produced epics in the true sense since ancient times, or perhaps they are accustomed to an almost morbid enthusiasm for politics. The recipients of Chinese culture are always obsessed with "grand propositions" and put the "grand propositions" in literary and artistic works. History" as the main or even the only meaning of personal life, otherwise it will hinder the "pattern" and lose the "realm." Under this concept, not only the cowardly and absurd "Alive", but also the awkward and deliberate "Forever". Therefore, when I see a movie like "Roma" that has the possibility to reflect history, but only from the perspective of children and women, I look back on my own destiny and encounter, and visualize those hazy things and emotions in the past. He accused the director of "wasting the subject matter" and even denounced the director for being "restricted by the mentality of rich children." Similar accusations can also be traced back to Zhang Ailing and even Li Yu. However, is the so-called "history" really so necessary for life and for every living individual? Can bloodshed and revolution really make people feel more melancholy and painful than his father's derailment? And in the end, what is history? Does everyone's fate create history, or does history dictate everyone's destiny? "Roma" uses a large depth of field, a wide frame, a large scene, and a wide angle, and uses the most grand and high-level configuration of film art. It also captures a very sensitive revolutionary past as a narrative space. However, Cuaron has finally returned to human beings. He has no ambition or interest in depicting history. He just wants to depict the family of master and servant who are embracing and weeping on the beach, and let this emotion be like waves in the calm but always present. The power to devour and destroy. The word Roma is written backwards, which is Amor in Spanish, which means "love". Could it be that this is not the eternal epic of mankind?
