#Roma - Krátké a kreslené filmy
I saw the film in theaters, so the beach scene was extremely harrowing. Especially with the large and clear screen and speakers that elevated the sound design
So what is the context of the song ''When I was older''? And why title Roma? Aren't these Asians?
@@katula14 u must be so dumb. they are from mexico
@@katula14Roma is like the beverly hills of mexico city
okay@@digitalojos
This channel is really underrated
Let's spread the worddddd!! D:
ikr
My parents grew up in Mexico City and Roma was incredibly nostalgic for them. Their lives were very similar to the children and have memories of their nannies, maids and chauffeurs. I’ve been to their childhood homes many times and they are mostly the same as they were all that time ago and the same class dynamics. I appreciate Roma for giving me a look at the world my parents lived in.
Your parents are very lucky
THIS CHANNEL IS REALLY UNDERRATED x2
One of my best friends is from Mexico and i watched this film with her. She cried non stop. She said it portrayed perfectly her life with her nanny.
The first time I watch this film it didnt feel like I was watching a movie, but more like i time travel back to Mexico in 1970. It feel like living day to day life with the characters and made it feel more attached to them. There's no huge character dramatic arcs but its the simplicity of the characters that made it feel relateable and follow the characters on their journey through the unpredictability of life. This movie and Boyhood are so similar in thematics but Roma is more authentic and haunting in its presentation
Glad the CZcams algorithm pulled through for me and brought me here awhile ago, only took watching hours of other movie analysis videos lol. Fr some of the best content I’ve ever watched ❤️
Ah the magic of algorithm. If only i could post everyday with the power of 200 people. Thx for stickin around!
Thank you for opening my eyes to this film.
This channel is a gem. Your voice really fits the mood you go for, it's great! Keep it up!
Agree with you on this. Keep it up! :)
Great analysis of this great masterpiece!!! Not to dish it out on Korea (more on the Academy), but Roma should have been the first film to win both Best picture and Best foreign language at the Oscars... Thanx!!!
The amount of work you put in every single one of your videos is truly amazing and your analysis is always on point! I love this channel and thank you for your work ❤️
What's your favorite moment from Roma? Or from Cuaron's other works?
Tough one, the ambush in the car long shot from Children of Men, Harry doing the Patronus spell agaisnt the dementors. Gravity's opening scene, the threesome from y tu mama tambien ugh so many to choose from, so hard to select which is my favorite. Cuaron is such a gifted visual storyteller and filmmaker.
I love this scene from Great Expectations:

The rejection from the guy that got her pregnant. It was so rough, so real. I wanted to throw my computer thru the window at that moment.
If channels like this didn’t exist I’d never discover these kinds of films
Thank you for this thoughtful review. It made me want to rewatch it. The symbolism in this movie is beautiful, and the cinematography blew me away. That camera work is so freaking good!!
What a pleasure to be taken through the movie by your words and film excerpt!
Finally
Thanks for this beautiful video
Beautiful analysis, I am glad your channel is starting to gain traction. I wish you the best.
Wonderfully written and masterfully crafted essay. Thank you so much for your thoughts about the movies you make videos about. Brilliant channel
this movie was so beautiful.. thank you for this video!
I absolutely agree. This was exactly the message I took from this film. We are all living in this fast foward times like life is something beyond us. It was really refreshing watching it as a reminder to live in the here and now.
I cant believe how good your videos are... So lucky to have found you. Your channel needs way more love.
Thank you for everything you do.
Seriously... hope you see this. You have helped me get through a lot and opened my eyes to so much. Thank you.
thank you for watching - im happy i could be of any help. Hope you stay safe and happy ;)
That shot in the water is beautiful! Loved this movie
Brilliant video essay! Makes me wish I'd appreciated 'Roma' a bit more back when it came out. Surely, I think it's a film that will grow on people as time goes on.
Brilliant film analysis!
I love it!
This channel is underrated x(Infinity)
this is my favorite channel on youtube
Have just ran through almost all of your videos. Love your style very much. Would love to see your take on Annihilation especially.
Beautiful. This masterpiece continues to haunt. It grows even more breathtaking with time.
You seem to make this film even more beautiful.
Beautiful Video sir. Keep the the amazing content!
It was a beautiful movie... filmed beautifully and only a small script its a visual movie that speaks for itself, it doesn't need a lengthy script... if you dont like subtitles its a plus as you get to read and still look at the beauty of the film. A film that shows people treating people well, with love and care no matter their station/role in life... they truly love Cleo and the other household help and vice versa. The young lad was talking to Cleo about past lives on several occasions and always interrupted - he had been a pilot and a sailor and he says when he was old Cleo was with him in that life and I wish they explored that more.....
A gorgeous movie, It almost feels like you’re there i remember feeling so comforted and held by the film I have no other idea how to put it! Like the average and mundane of a normal persons life is e what makes it so harrowing and beautiful ❤️
This was beautiful! Thanks
I have lived my entire life in Mexico City!
this film captures the essence of the city itself; its crazy streets, the life that surrounds everything, the sounds of a city that is alive, and the ordinary lives of its citizens!
I loved this film!
Thank you for your analysis... I didnt realize how this move portraits the still moments of life
세상에.. 리뷰보고 눈물흘린적은 처음.. 항상 잘보고있습니다. 영화를 더 재밌게 기대하게 만들어줘서 감사합니다
늘 이렇게 좋은 말씀을... 저야말로 재밌게 봐주셔서 감사합니다! :)
This is a phenomenal video essay
the audio in video is as crisp as in the movie
Thank you for coming into my life.
Thanks so much for this analysis of my favorite movie. It perfectly captured Mexico when I lived there in 1963.
오우 감사합니다!!!
I have watched only Harry Potter and Gravity. The scenery in H.P. was so beautiful and Gravity was so visually appealing and the visual effects was top notch. I'm looking forward for Children of men and Roma. Cuaron is one of my favourite director.
p.s. I always love your movie analysis and editing style.
상점 하혈씬부터 휴지 붙들고 봤던 기억이 납니다. 잔잔하고 정적인 전개와 달리 묵직한 울림이 있는 영화인 것 같아요.
This is quality content
this is one of the most beautiful films I’ve ever seen
I really enjoy this channel and respect your approach, it helped me realize why I don't like this movie, I guess that I enjoy my slow, long, with nothing mayor going on-esque films when the characters are the central point in a human and emotional way; "Roma" been in conjunction with this "bigger picture of the world" (or something like that) just doesn't appeal to me, how can I care of the world if nobody matters as individuals?, I watched it last year and maybe I could appreciated more now, who Knows?
Also I want to clarify that this is only how I feel about the film right now, and IDK if it could be possible for you because of the language barrier, but I’d appreciated if you tried to watch anyone of these:
-Anna (2015) by Jacques Toulemonde Vidal.
-Los viajes del viento “The Wind Journeys” (2009) by Ciro Guerra.
-Niña errante “Wandering Girl” (2018) by Rubén Mendoza.
I'm not asking for anything, just saying "Hey!, maybe you'd like other latinoamerican movies from Colombia"
Dope. Will definitely check them out. Thanks for that!
Double u as in water. Mexico City was founded on a Lake in 1325 by the Aztecs. Water city
i love this review
best out of bests

This film has an incredible implementation of Dolby Atmos. It creates a scintillating, immersive world with layers of sound creating a massive atmosphere.
beautiful
To me the film was thank you to the nanny(s) of his childhood. Cleo is a quiet rudder, somewhat selfless and giving. Her own problems take a backseat to those of the mother and the children -- that is a dynamic that children don't see but as an adult looking back perhaps there is a sense of guilt at having not appreciated her. The style of the film is highly observational and meditational. It is filled with longing and the bittersweet perspectives on how the innocence and naiveity of childhood colors our memories of those years but revisiting them in an honest and mature way challenges how we think about ourselves and others.
Incredible
Haven't seen the film, but maybe water (essential to everyone) runs as a common thread because access to water is such a distinct determining factor of class. For people who are consider themselves or are considered poor or lower class may be relegated to places where you have to go get water. And that water may not be initially safe to drink.
For recreational use, upper class has pools while the lower class has to rely on going to the beach. And even with beach access, there can be separation with upper class being on boats while lower class has to stay near the shore.
And another part is that life can still be fruitful regardless as long what's essential is available.
Absolutely, there’s definitely a moment in the film, I think when she goes to the lower class neighborhood, where the political speakers in the background are rallying people specifically over their limited access to water.
The violence of the massacre that results from the related political tension ends up indirectly leading to her water breaking, and the stillbirth… She’s able to save the more wealthy children she serves from the dangers of water, but her own child dies in the water of her own womb.
@@andrew5500 Thanks for reminding me about this film. Had forgotten about it so still haven't seen it but you made me want to see it even more.
Also made me aware of some typos I got a chance to fix.
유튜브 오래 해주세요...너무 좋아요
This film is about Cleo and allows us to get out of our self-centered vision of our existences. It's not about us
직접 나레이션까지 하는지 모르겠지만 아무튼 목소리가 아주 좋네요.지적이고 차분한 목소리
나레이션도 제가 한답니다! 봐주셔서 감사합니다 :)
한국어 자막 너무 좋아요!
봐주셔서 감사합니다!
I have a problem with Roma, which is how universally its photography is praised, while I find it very gray compared to the dédiant days of black and white.
This being said, you included my favourite moment around 00:40 so as usual, bravo.
This is a very good movie. My concern is I can't watch it otherwise than a fake vintage movie. Somehow the production design conflicts with the meaning of the story...
A very interesting point - and one I can't say I disagree with. Totally get what you're saying. Better revisit this film again with that lens and see how it makes me feel!
Also, that moment is one of my favourites as well :)
@@SpikimaMovies Has a Touch of Evil feeling for me, but I appreciate it for itself, it is gorgeous. Nothing gets to me more than cinematic fluidity, that's what seduced me in your work. Your editing is extremely good.
Dont have clue.
hi there , Finally I Watch this film. for me the story not the deep one and just ordinary --> this is my point of view as an asian and dunno the situation of Mexico at that time .
but I agree with u that the cinematographic is great 😎
Us? What do you mean “us?
Among Us?
Too bad it is in black and white...it vould have been a beautiful movie...the real world is full of colours
DONT WASTE YOUR TIME ON THIS VIDEO!!!
