Rome, this exquisite black-and-white image that washes the hearts of the audience, is it a masterpiece worthy of applause?

A director's greatest achievement is not to win various awards or break box office records, but to make his own biographies and memoirs according to his own wishes. This is a Mexican family movie, which is the most exquisite black and white image I have seen in recent years. This is the perfect combination of individual and great times, narrative and lyric. In Rome, the bubbling water at the beginning of the film and the surging waves at the end of the film complement each other and wash the hearts of the audience with shock. It can be said to be a masterpiece worthy of standing ovation.

I thought Rome would be a homesick story, but it turned out to be a sad song of a woman. The female life in memory is shown from the perspective of maid, but many survival dilemmas have not changed until today. From washing away the foam on the ground to the stormy waves on the seashore, the hostess and her master's family have achieved spiritual nirvana. Although people can't escape from the gate after all, as long as there is hope, they will certainly go on.

Maybe you will think that apart from pregnancy and premature delivery, there is almost no ups and downs in the plot. The atmosphere is exquisite, from scenery and group performances to display and white noise, telling you that this is an undercurrent of plain family. As a person who doesn't know much about Mexican history, it is difficult to have empathy. In addition, even though every frame of the director's fixed-focus long lens is beautiful, black-and-white film relies entirely on light.

Perhaps in essence, Caron didn't know much about the deep-seated influence of the overall turmoil in Mexico on people's individual emotional consciousness at that time, which is why he devoted all his energy to the creation of spectacular scenes. Whether it was the plane reflection printed on the floor tile, the bloody street movement, the trapeze jumping out of the gun barrel or the surging waves, it just played the circus effect of the live news drama. Especially because we have to show several wonders and stretch the picture, most of the pictures are repeatedly swayed by the camera, and there is no fresh content, which makes us extremely tired.

What is puzzling about Rome is its close relationship with the director? Childhood memories? However, it is surprisingly detached and lacks an effective perspective to intervene in the past. From the perspective of private memory, the film is undoubtedly too cold and objective; From the perspective of historical narrative, the Roman model is too personal and too detailed, especially the maid part separated from family and society, which has a strong sense of design as a metaphor. Seeing the father of the child again on the Revolution Day, and then having a baby, sounds like the pattern of a one-sentence novel of an event widely circulated in China.

In fact, this is a director's intimate work, through the nanny's perspective, to piece together and restore the fragmentary memories of childhood, and even spy on the whole social background environment. The clues of broken memories are so complicated that it is difficult to piece together a smooth story. However, with superb lens language, the director firmly grasps the audience's eyes and outputs a lot of information, which makes people open their eyes and think deeply, which is very attractive. This is a very personal work, and personal color is not only reflected in style, but also in content. An alternative personal biography is only for accommodating oneself and never pleasing others.

Maid story, epic temperament. Alfonso? Caron contributed the most stable shot since filming, and a group of shots slowly pushed Mexico away with dignity? Rome? Family and social picture of the community. What is rare is that there is tension in the plain, and the final wave picture is full of solemn and stirring feelings. As far as film skills are concerned, it is the best of the year. It can be used to explore the meaning of black-and-white images, and its sociological value is similar to the current hot non-fiction text, which has great personality. Compared with color, digital black and white is more transparent and can give it more? Watch? Texture, more humanistic temperament.

Poetic, delicate and plain, it depicts the character and destiny of women. On several occasions, Caron's understanding of women was surprising. They are always aware of their own tragedies, but they still keep silent. Mexico City in the 1970s, or the class difference between master and servant, failed to stop the tragedy from crushing every woman. Unable to break free, it was suffocating, but they just climbed ashore on the edge of drowning. This situation is enough to baptize the hearts of the audience.

This is a movie that a person wants to applaud several times when watching it alone on a small screen. It is worth appreciating and experiencing again on the big screen of the cinema. After all, Rome is a true reflection of growth, and its beauty lies not in privacy, but in this private selflessness. Mexican women's delicate, long, heavy and tragic epic, the structural opposition under the background of the times is transformed into the contrast of the characters themselves, which makes the smooth and coherent narrative burst into natural impact.
