Roma

roma has so many aspects that i can’t get over. we start seeing the movie and the first thing that comes to my mind is the timing, it gives us a sense of authenticity that i’ve never seen anywhere else. the choice of black and white gives us the idea of a memory more than a story, it’s almost as if it where our own. the use of sound to makes us feel like we are there, like we went through it. there are so many aspects in the cinematography, as the wider shots that shows us not only cleo but her environment this way we get en captured more in the moment than in the action. alfonso (director) gives us the chance to choose our own symbolisms instead of telling us exactly what they mean. every image shows so much there is not only cleo there are people, sounds, movement, making it even more alive. the idea of how even when cleo is part of the family she’s still expected to be a servant symbolizes how blind society is. not only is roma an excellent film for a viewer but it gives us an insight of Méxicos community. alfonso made a masterpiece with this movie, and yalitza made it come to life.
