1. The Roman block in reality has long ceased to exist. For filming, Cuaron and the crew rebuilt brick by brick, and the final result of the reproduction of historical traces is really amazing.
2. In fact, there are many strong dramatic plots in the film, such as the moment when the heroine "a family of three" met in a furniture store during the conflict of the student movement, but Cuaron's excellent camera design gave this plot a certain rationality , combined with the plot before and after, it is actually a hidden magical reality.
3. With the point of view, by setting up different group portraits, interspersed with the heroine's life experience, and slowly lay out the expression "death of the aborigines": the white man with the gun shoots at the virgin forest, the heroine's male companion is brainwashed Become an instrument of government violence, the death of a baby girl...
4. The political background is not actually blurred, but exists like a ghost from time to time as a background depth picture, and has always acted on the words and deeds of the protagonists.
5. The hostess throws her own difficulties to the eyes of others to bear together, and the heroine can only bear the catastrophe in silence, so he does not stand in his own class position to show some "master, servant and family"! The insurmountable class divide exists in this family is always shown in the film.
6. Going back to the previous point, since Caron is not a master-servant family-in the end, the hostess asked the heroine to play with them with a sad and sick body. People do this and that, and even indirectly cause the heroine who can't swim to rush to the shore to save the child. Then the "beautiful" picture of the family embracing and crying on the shore is really puzzling. Maybe it's just to show the normal feelings of people who survived the death? But the softly backlit shot still slightly undermines the unity of the class divide that has been paved before.
7. It is still the end of the coastal drama. At the moment when the heroine "runs to the raging sea", the surging waves become a symbol of the woman's suffering in life. They kept hitting the heroine, but the heroine still followed her seemingly slow, cumbersome pace, responded in her own way (dragging the child ashore), and then returned to the shore and continued to live her life, Combined with Karona's perfect panning long shot, it just stabbed me to death.
8. There is no soundtrack, but the well-designed ambient sound is used as the background sound, which promotes the development of the plot, and also highlights the psychological changes of the characters, which is too awesome technical work; not to mention the visual scheduling.
To sum up, "Roma" is a film with a high degree of combination of photographic motifs and textual content, and Cuaron's strong control as a film director is reflected everywhere. Its pattern is not big, but it is detailed enough. I am afraid that only pure and extreme filmists will use this kind of crazy audio-visual design to make a story about the "little people" in their childhood memories.
