How to understand the ideological expression in "Roma"?

Not too much feeling. I just feel that the subject matter and perspective are the same as Jia Zhangke's nostalgia trilogy, and the depth is incomparable. The discussion of metaphors and ideology is somewhat obscene. Not to mention just moved out a large piece of Latin American ideology! The director explained in the interview that he just wanted to make a retrospective of his childhood Mexico City. The little people in the big era are just very natural and easy to grasp themes, he grew up in that era, it is very natural. I think the director did not pursue the depth of the film, the content is not even a story, and the final beach scene is a bit unconventional. But it doesn't matter, the director has always controlled his role as a bystander and has done a good job. Fixed-point long shots, follow-up shooting, parallel shooting, original scene reproduction, etc. are all to express this attitude. Especially for the capture of sound is outstanding. The director also mentioned this.

In addition, there is a Chilean film called "The Maid", which has more characters and ideological depictions, which can be discussed by the majority of young people.

    The different text levels interact and blend together, and at the same time carry the creators’ most intimate and personal memories and emotions of Mexico’s childhood. This perceptual, private and magnificent image force bursts out, just like the last wave of the film. The waves continue to hit and try to flood every audience in front of the big screen.

    I had a lot of expectations before reading it, because it's hard not to think of my own book as such a private semi-autobiographical story from an old age. . . After reading it, I was not disappointed, and even a little moved: men are all unfortunate, and in a world where there are only women and children, people and human relationships are very important. Some people say that it is bland, but I just think its shortcoming is that it deliberately puts too many coincidences and wonders into it, destroying the sense of everyday life.
