Roma is the latest movie of a Mexican filming director, and Oscar winner Alfonso Cuarón. Through this amazing piece of art, Cuarón opened his memories and releases a package of a pure personal and family intimacy.all of this wrapped with tenderness and warm moments, but at the same time with a raw reality that spread on the screen the cruelty of the broken human condition that belongs to all of us. In the midst of the daily battles that we all fight, and through the lenses of a normal mid class family in the Roma neighborhood in Mexico City, Cuarón depicts the surroundings of everyone's life in the 70ths, with all the dynamics of people's lives, coming and going in the everydayness of our broken and fullness humanity, describing the relationships that represents to belong. The normal and little details are presented with a masterful hand through the lenses both technically and emotional of Cuarón's eyes... There is not a typical villain or a stereotypical hero that we can hate or inspire us from a Hollywood movie type. There is no cultural holocaust to wipe out the views of others, instead we all are there...and from the normality of everyone, a simple and humble character emerge to slap all our pride, racial, cultural, economical bias and divisions. This character's powerful and tender personality is presented in the midst of a social and political turmoil to let us know that a simple act of presence and care could be the difference between life and death. That's the power of this movie, it makes us reflect and feel deep inside of us our humanity with outstanding normality, humbleness and emotion, the kind of movie that you'll never forget
