Women are weak and mothers are strong

"A woman is weak and a mother is strong." The film "Roma" exemplifies this sentence very well. The gentle and firm strength of women is the greatest inspiration for the whole film. At the same time, this film has many aspects. They are all intriguing, seemingly unrelated events, but they pave the way for the next big thing, full of ideology.

The element "airplane" in the film appeared for the first time in the reflection of the water at the beginning of the film. It flew over when the coach was showing off his skills when Kleo went to find Fermin, and at the end, it appeared when Kleo walked to the rooftop. In fact, when it appeared for the second time, I felt that it would be very meaningful. When it appeared at the end, I felt that this was a clever metaphor in the film, perhaps a desire for freedom and life.

Kleo went to visit the newborn. There was an earthquake, and the wall on the ceiling smashed into the crib. This seemingly unrelated incident laid the groundwork for Kleo to give birth to a stillborn child. The same metaphor also appeared in A seemingly sudden forest fire in the film is actually a disaster that hints at an impending riot.

    I realized it was in the 1970s when I saw it in the middle of it. Originally, there were many old cars in Mexico, so I didn’t think the cars reflected the times at first. Instead, I wondered why middle-class families didn’t have washing machines. The host's house is very similar to that of a Mexican friend of mine. From the stairs, the structure of the house, the light of the kitchen to the courtyard, the street in front of the door, and the helpers, the similarities remain in my memory as if engraved, so that I have the illusion that I have been there! Beginning and ending with a long shot of a fixed frame, the planes flying over several times clearly have some political undertones. Some people are dying, some are being born, and in this country where earthquakes are everyday, the pains of life come and go as fleetingly as earthquakes. It's a good way to look back on history. People are so busy dealing with their pain, how can they care about bullets flying outside the window? Rather than resonating with women's suffering, the film made me think about why men are so often absent, and what makes them flee from their places. 1212상상마당홍대

    It took more than an hour to realize that it was not in Rome
