Rosetta is a Belgian girl who lives in a dilapidated RV in a suburban slum. She has no siblings, her father is missing, and her mother is severely alcoholic. She can do anything just to get a sip of alcohol. to linger. Rosetta has no friends, and is always hurriedly walking alone in the cold city and the desolate suburbs, doing everything she can to survive, coping with a bad mother and a difficult life on her own.
Rosetta is very ordinary, without outstanding looks and body, without outstanding brains and intelligence, to be harsh, very mediocre. Whether it was walking, work, or housework, she always looked gloomy and restless, revealing the unhappiness and pain in her heart. She does not like to talk and is not good at communicating, but she often mumbles to herself, her voice is extremely weak, just to let herself hear. Perhaps, for her, under the pressure of survival, language has gradually become a luxury that wastes life resources. Taste.
Unfortunately for Rosetta, in the social and economic downturn, she has no education or expertise, especially as a woman, it is difficult for her to find a job. Even if she has a job, it will not last for a long time, and she will soon be given an advantage over her. The candidate was chosen to replace and was fired. In this regard, Rosetta can only vent her dissatisfaction by yelling and slapsticking, because she has no culture and sufficient economic conditions to receive knowledge education in modern society, and she has no idea what rights she has and how to maintain it. own rights.
Rosetta is very strong, she has not embarked on the path of crime and depravity, she still hopes to exchange dignity and food and clothing through her labor. She cherishes every opportunity to work, is not afraid of hard work, and works very hard; she does everything she can to maintain the livelihood of that misnamed "home". When a guy who had been caring about her, invited her to dinner, danced, and found a job for her, showed her love, Rosetta said to herself: "Your name is Rosetta, my name is Rosetta; you have A job, I have a job; you have a friend, I have a friend; you have a normal life, I have a normal life; you can’t get into lust, I can’t get into lust.”
Rosetta is very indifferent, and under the pain that one can never forget, her only belief is to live. For this belief, she can work hard and do some despicable and cruel things. Her boyfriend found a job for her, and she actually confided to her boss, exposing her boyfriend's behavior of self-stealing, in order to replace him and completely occupy a job. She was fishing with a glass bottle in a park where fishing was prohibited. In order to avoid the manager, she dropped the glass bottle into the river. A passing boyfriend helped her to find it but accidentally fell into the water. Watching her boyfriend struggling in the water and calling for help, Rosetta After a moment of depression, he ran away, thinking that if he died, he could take his place.
This is not "cold", because "cool" requires capital and cost, and must have an image, a scene, a spirit, and a connotation, but Rosetta has nothing, what she shows is a kind of natural "coldness" , it is indifference to the interests of others and even life "what has it to do with me", it is an extremely common manifestation of the abnormal mentality that only you can live and I can live in abnormal situations, as if getting up in the morning to brush your teeth and wash your face. This is so commonplace that it makes me shudder. It is like a sharp blade that stabs at the heart of my life with just one stroke. The pain is indescribable, but I can't make a sound. This is extremely common and reminds me of the evening of April 19, 2006, by the Taihu Lake in Suzhou, a 7-year-old boy from a fishermen's family saw his sister fall into the water, but continued to play as if nothing had happened. Afterwards, the reporter asked him why he didn't rescue him. Without asking for help, the little boy said calmly: "It's so hard to live, why drag her." - Sometimes, life is really cold!
At the end of the film, Rosetta endured the torment of the whistleblower's conscience, and bumped into her mother who sold her body for alcohol. In desperation, she ate an egg, called the boss to quit her job, then closed the doors and windows and turned on the gas valve. Lying in bed with her comatose mother, quietly yearning for the release of death. But once again, fate played a ridiculous black joke with Rosetta—the gas tank was empty—and even if she died, she would need to pay for a gas tank. While watching the movie, I had more than one prediction of Rosetta's suicide, just as she indifferently wished her boyfriend to drown, I also wished her to end this painful and miserable life as soon as possible, so that I could get rid of this movie sooner torture. However, seeing this, my pain and self-torture came to an abrupt end. For Rosetta, death was so difficult, as unattainable as a lowly job. In Rosetta's view, death does not It's not scary or painful, but it's really painful to beg for death. In contrast, I am really happy, because at least I can still suffer for her pain, and I appreciate the beauty of tragedy quite emotionally.
Li Zongsheng wrote in "I am a little bird": "Everyone who knows my name, how are you? The world is so small and we are destined to have nowhere to escape. Your ideal burning / the pressure of life and the dignity of life which is more important." I think the dignity of life is more important, but the pressure of life should be more real and direct.
