"Rome" is a memory film about unusual beauty. Director Alfonso Cuarón has an extremely keen insight into the various things in people's lives. It pushes things that are usually left in the background that are not easily detectable. To the front desk. The film recreated the scene of the Mexico City neighborhood from 1970 to 1971, and it impressed the audience. The film focuses not on children, but the confusing behaviors of adults of that era. The immersive and gorgeous scenes in the film are full of visual impact.
The film outlines an extraordinary emotional tone and provides a Tolstoy-style omniscient intellectual perspective. Even if the most traumatic life situation is in front of him, the director will be unblinking, Look at everything with an almost calm attitude. Many close-up shots and bird's eye views in the film have profound implications. The shift from the horizontal perspective of the street to the scene above the city creates a push-pull relationship between the urgency of life and the macroscopic vision.
If there is something missing in "Rome", it is the characterization of the child. They are always busy doing this or that, most of the time they appear idle in the group, a group of young faces are spinning, rather than the children define themselves by doing certain things. In this sense, the film is not like a movie about childhood or growth, but a portrait of two women whose lives are dominated by the same child. "Rome" may not be the memoir-style movie that many people look forward to, because it has an adventurous director, sometimes vulgar and sometimes sci-fi, but it is also a refreshing, confident and beautiful movie
