![]() Emmy Meli’s lyrics show the strong side of women and in this case how they are capable of digging out of the hole as seen in Roma. The song “I AM WOMEN '' by Emmy Meli, has lyrics on women being independent and strong in this society. The sadness, pain, and cries in this film are not the only remarks we get from this movie, yet we get the strong women empowerment. Was it blood or water? Cuaron’s work into the color of the film was well organized, which is what got me intrigued to keep watching it. In that scene I was confused as to what was coming out. For instance, when Cleo is looking for cribs there's a riot going on and Fermin pointed a gun at her which leads her water to break. Although the film can seem old style due to the color, it expands your imagination to a bigger world. In Culture, “What is Roma about? Why Oscar-winning Netflix film is so personal to director Alfonso Cuarón”, states “He too was brought up in the district of Roma, and also had a nanny/maid, called Liboria Rodríguez, who he had a great affection for.” The film reflects the struggles Cuaron lived which is another reason why the film is in black and white. The film is autobiographical and shows Cuaron’s childhood. He did not want a vintage feel, but a digital black-and-white that looked the part.” In addition, this film reflects on his background. ![]() Many may ask why the film is in black and white? According to FAR, The Cinematography of ‘Roma’ states, “Cuarón decided he wanted to film in black and white - a fitting choice for a film looking into the past - but in a way that he hadn’t seen before. This demonstrates, how the the director of the film Alfonso Cuaron, incorporates the power of feminism and shows the side of women inequality. They both demonstrate hard working women after all the hardships they experienced throughout the film. Moving on to Sofia, she was left by her husband with three children and had no support from him, while he was going out with another woman. In this scene gender inequality is shown and shows a resilient woman in this case, Cleo. She fell in that deep hole by going through a pregnancy all alone and the struggles of a first time mother. Not only that but he threatened her to beat her and their child up. You could say Fermin saw it as a one night stand, yet Cleo was in love and left alone. For instance, Fermin gets Cleo pregnant and doesn't want to take responsibility for their child. Not only does Cleo fall into a dark hole, but also Sofia, the mother of the kids. The bond she holds with the children is so loving and fills in that void she is missing out on. ![]() Cleo the housekeeper of a middle class family not only has her own struggles, but carries on the families struggles as well. Through a confusion of spiral images strolling into your imagination, and walking out of a dark hole. “Roma”, will immerse you into several perspectives of how hardworking women become stronger after life hits them. A movie review website known as Rotten Tomatoes, Ryan Gilbey states “ But for all the bustle and brio, it's a visually lucid movie.” I found some confusing scenes, yet others think it is “visually lucid.” The film will not only show the life of Cleo, but it will show the truth about women. As I watched the film my imagination sparked into a bigger picture of confusion, as to why the director Alfonso Cuaron added some contentious scenes. Marching bands in the middle of the street and the cries of the people, take you to an even darker side than the movie itself. ![]() Black and white films make you explore beyond the footage, “Roma” not only takes you on a drive of inequality, but it also takes you on a drive to view the hardships of hard working women.
