don't have to die

An excellent example of how to make a good story with DV. The documentary perspective pushes life violently to the cruel and cold reality, infinitely close to the life of rosetta quagmire.

A few spoilers below: At the end, after experiencing a series of inner struggles and emotional torment during the day, Rosetta carried the corpse-like alcoholic mother back to the trailer room, and has spent half her life. . . Okay, why don't you just stop playing? He made a cool call and resigned, and half committed suicide with half a boiled egg in his mouth, and found that the gas was not enough. . . A girl whose emotions have collapsed has to endure abdominal pain and carry a dead gas tank to find an old man who slept with her mother to change the gas. . . . Then go home and commit suicide? NONONO, I think just changing the gas would have taken a whole life, so I don't have to die.

I especially like the setting of the ending. It stopped abruptly. Rosetta, who was lifted up, was finally full of tears. Close-up, it was over. There was no sign of warmth and improvement, and even Unt ended in a hurry with only one hand in the picture. After watching this movie, which would be classified as gloomy, I didn't feel any depression or depression. It may be that there is emotional release at the end, or it may be that I have a preference for stubborn stories. In Rosetta's world, there is no sense of security, nor the energy to expect family, friendship and love. There is only the dream of a normal life, and the dignity that must be built up brick by brick, which no one wants to give or laugh at.

    This kind of hand-held lens is really enough, and this kind of bitterness scene is really enough. It hurts to watch a neurotic, dirty girl with a face like you killed her whole family for an hour and a half.

    For the portrayal of the life encountered, there is a French film-like paranoia to the image and an American independent film (especially Cassavetes) with the same super-control of the plot. The entire film is composed almost entirely of single shots that follow the actors' performances. This extreme paranoia is also a perfect embodiment. But I don't love it.
