2020.9.21 Rewatch Rosetta.
The script part, the structure is complete, the details are extremely appropriate and natural. The state of motherhood not only weighs heavily on Rosetta's life, but also forms her worldview, and she realizes that the way of life for women like mothers is a dead end: alcoholic, living on alms from men, corrupt and without dignity . When she realized this, their mother-daughter relationship was turned upside down. As she entered adulthood, she shouldered not only the material life itself, but also the desire for "dignity".
Relationship with men: The men in the film are not perfect, the muffin man loves her, but secretly sells muffins to make money; the boss is a neutral character, but he doesn't give much to the bottom people (same as the second-hand clothing store owner's wife) ); the boss's son is a portrayal of decadent young men in this society. And because Rosetta rejects her mother's way of getting along with men, she is always wary of her tense posture in the face of male approach. When she is willing to spend the night in a man's house, a true friendship is formed in her heart. She didn't have the harmony to dance with each other, but she completely trusted her.
Understand that the director's description and layout of the plot can be said to be appropriate and full of charm. Rosetta throws away the fish that the man gave to her mother vs stealing it herself; she falls into the water and is abandoned by her mother vs the muffin boy falls into the water and she hesitates to save them, all of which form a full-fledged confrontation, providing a moral and dignified confrontation. Plenty of room for interpretation.
Audiovisual language narrative:
In photography, the impact of close-ups and even big cuts into the hearts of the characters is naturally not to mention. There are also subtle considerations when the shots fall on who. In addition, the internal scheduling of long shots is also extremely precise. At the end of the film, on the flyover, the muffin boy keeps blocking Rosetta's shot - Rosetta keeps breaking through the boy's block from the right to the left, and the boy repeatedly reruns to the left to block (occupying a large picture oppressively) . Create a rough and realistic rhythm from the dynamic and scene.
The most impressive sound must be the sound of the boy's motorcycle. The objective sound conveys diametrically opposite meanings in different situations - love/hate. Shows aggressive explosiveness.
Artistically, red is used sparingly throughout the film, because it is Rosetta's color, fierce and rebellious. Cities are grey and cold, men are dark brown and blue, and friendship is no exception. In this color arrangement, Rosetta's strength is revealed.
————————
But in general, I agree with peter cat's evaluation of the film, the film is good enough, but it lacks the sense of social structure, so that it is confined to the sadness of the bottom people pinching each other, and makes people say "poor people must have Hateful" unfair judgment.
