Life and death

In the process of watching the movie, what I have experienced most is the various contrasts and transformations between the two concepts of life and death.

-The nanny watched the child fight a gun battle. The child fell to the ground and said that I could not talk because I was dead. The nanny asked the child if it would be okay for you to resurrect. The child said no. So the babysitter lay on the ground with the child, looking at the sky, and said that I enjoyed the feeling of death.

-The employer's dog always needs to be kept on a leash. Very energetic, but can never get out. The dog of a friend's house at the Christmas party was made into a specimen and hung on the wall after he died, and he could not get out again. For dogs, whether they are alive or dead, the outcome is the same.

-The babysitter's amniotic fluid broke, and he was about to get into the car from the street. The camera panned to a shot of a woman whose lover was shot and fell to the ground crying. It was a contrast between life and death. A new life is about to be born, and an old life is dead.

-The nanny gave birth to a stillbirth, but saved the employer's two children. Resurrection from the dead, again and again.

With black and white tones, and the swaying mirror, it has a touch of Tai Chi.

    A semi-autobiographical film by Alfonso Cuarón. The protagonist is Cleo, a wealthy middle-class family and a maid in Mexico in the 1970s. There are personal shocks to grow, and there are times changes. He really is a tech guy. The sound and photography are exceptional. The long lens is very good, especially the seaside scene! Shooting at 65mm, the light, shadow and details are exquisite, and it is very beautiful to watch on the big screen. I think it's a bit unfortunate that this was released by Netflix. The small screen is definitely not suitable for theaters... The amateur heroine Yalitza Aparicio performed well. But one thing that feels a little lacking is the limited viewing angle. Since the characters all live in a relatively prosperous and stable life circle, they are not interested in current affairs. The turmoil in Mexico at that time actually belonged to a bystander who was separated by a layer. Although the maid's perspective touches on grassroots class and social fluctuations, with occasional connections (the Corpus Christi massacre), it is limited. In this part, there may be a bit of self-deprecation in the Cuarón film (?) The manor where the New Year dances and jumps and horses run. It was so close that everyone panicked and put out the fire...

    The worst hack ever for a chemist. The screenwriter has great things, such as toasting a glass to wish the cup was knocked out, and driving into the warehouse three times for comparison. But the main line is not dramatic, and it seems clumsy that the beach scene insists on elevating the plot, and the screenwriter has always been Cuarón's shortcoming. The technology seems to be washed away, and the most effective is the old-fashioned long lens. Political content does not integrate with the main line to create appeal. This is a problem in both audio and visual aspects of writing. Let's see how "Mysterious Eyes" and "King Hall" did it. Sounds good.
