Highlights: 1: It is clear and structured, and it is easy to take a seat on Vivian Maier's life, and also has a more appropriate and intuitive expression of Vivian Maier's achievements and influence.

2: The director found as many as dozens of people who had personal contact or even shared life with Vivienne Maier, which greatly enhanced the authenticity of the documentary and made the content very rich. And the people interviewed have almost run through Vivian Maier's life, which can infect the audience very much.

As an ordinary person, Vivienne Meier took 150,000 photos by herself, but she never made them public and never thought of becoming famous. She is an ordinary dream chaser who insists on what she wants to do and brings an incredible life story to this impetuous society. I remember someone saying, I forget who said it: Doing a good thing and not wanting to be known is the real virtue. I really admire Vivian Maier: This is my own business, what does it have to do with others?

Disadvantages: It is too well-established, except for Vivian Maier's own story, there is nothing attractive, and it is easy to fall asleep.

Once again confirmed an iron law of fact, as long as the documentary finds the right record object, then the success will have six or seven points - not to mention such a person who changed the history of street photography. As a documentary, the director did throw out the materials and oral interviews that the audience wanted to solve the mystery, roughly sketching her complex and faded image. The best photographer, close to the almost non-existent miracle, or as she called the most advanced spy. Have you really seen the world in front of you? There is no need for permission and no fear of rejection.

Howard Greenberg, the gallery representing her posthumous works, is located in the Fuller Building, an old gallery complex on 57th Street. After watching the documentary, I went there specially, and they were all printed with silver halide, using the technology of the time as much as possible. I've been thinking about how Maier would react if she saw how these photos were developed. She marveled at the unintentional beauty of the photos, which she had already expected, so she didn't need to see the final appearance at all.
