Finding Vivian Maier
Seeing the end of the film and crying, "the warmth revealed in her photos, her immediate alertness to human tragedies, and her graceful, sweet moments. She is very cautious, and she is also good at observing and caring for people. These qualities make her babysitter."
She would take the children to the slaughterhouses of livestock and confront them with the death of sheep, and she would take them to the slums and alleys, and she would take them to the wild strawberry fields to get close to nature, and ask the children, "Do you know how to keep eternity? "
She also has a dark and damp side, she collects a room full of newspapers, from floor to ceiling, and even needs an I-beam downstairs to hold up the ceiling because the floor collapses. She pays attention to society and people's livelihood, especially child abuse, sexual assault, and homicide cases. She said to the boy, "If you sit on the lap of a few guys, you'll get hit", she said to the girl, "Men will bring you misfortune, all they want is sex." She would turn into a The alley "lost" the child, forced the little girl to eat and beat her, and she became paranoid and yelled at the newspaper being handed over to the neighbors by her employer to clean the walls.
But she also has a warm, funny side. She was born in New York, but pretended to be French, and until her later years, others thought she was an old French lady. The little boy running on the wild strawberry cured her. In the video, she feels soft and relaxed, without the serious and complicated eyes in the self-portrait. In the face of an employer she hadn't seen in 30 years, she recognized him at a glance, and begged for just talk with me but was let down. She is getting more and more lonely.
She is a natural photographer, she has the ability to capture emotions, which is created by her artistic vigilance and sensitivity, and the ability to easily enter the space of strangers, but at the same time, life is not photography, she easily reaches other people's moments, but at the same time Strictly guard your space and secrets. Every employer mentioned that Miss Maiers' room was full of stuff and it was absolutely forbidden to be banned. She just knew that the moment she was invaded into the space would reveal a lot of herself, so that's why. The misfortunes that happened to us in her childhood have influenced her to become like this to a certain extent.
She didn't want to be found out. This is her contradiction. But at the end of the film, the people she photographed themselves or their wives were old, standing next to the pictures she took and framed on the wall, those smiles and tears, I believe she would like to see this side.
I don't want to judge her, this is the secret she wants to keep the most. Maybe it's a pity that I didn't know her until after she passed away, because I really wanted to make friends with her, talk with her, travel around the world, but it was after her death that I realized that I also needed to be with myself friend.
