Although I give Roma five stars, I personally think it is my favorite movie in 2018, but I still want to write a few details that have been over-interpreted and discussed.
(1) Aircraft
According to the trivia part of imdb, the third article, according to the director, is that the reason for the frequent appearance of planes in the film is that the film needs to be shot in Mexico City (except for the restoration of the current location in the subway station Chilpancingo using a studio), so every five minutes will pass a plane
Alfonso Cuarón decided to shoot on location in Mexico City instead of using a soundstage. This is one reason for the several appearances of airplanes, because according to Cuarón they had a plane passing by every five minutes.
Personally, I think this difficult-to-fix detail confuses some viewers, but the plane reflected in the water at the beginning should be deliberately shot
(2) Rome
A lot of people are saying that Roma also means Amor in Spanish, spelled backwards and even saying that "Rome was not built in a day".
Roma is the name of the district where the director grew up as a child Colonia Roma Norte
(3) The Abortion Revolution
It should be that Lobo had a miscarriage, but it symbolizes something else. In fact, the doctor's delivery process was only filmed once and the real doctor was invited to improvise . See here
(4) Nude martial arts and martial arts training
Personally, I think it's a tribute to Jandolowski's La Montaña Sagrada and I feel that this film has a lot to pay tribute to Jandolowski
The slow-flying planes in the martial arts training should just be indiscriminate scenes, not deliberately arranged
(5) recurring bands
I personally think it's a tribute to Fellini's seaside holiday night where the family was crying next to the family's wedding The scene God pays tribute to the end of the night of Kabylia
Strongly suspect that the scene of the astronaut is similar to the existence of the circus to Fellini to Cuarón
Write it here first and think about it later
