Wandering Along the Path: Right Speech

My friend and I saw the film "Roma" yesterday and it blew us away.  It truly is a masterpiece.  This film is genuinely focused on women and their lives, their private, ordinary lives.  It's about race, class, patriarchy, and what a family is.  Yet there is no preaching.  The focus is on one family and three women:  mother, grandmother, and servant.  the cinematography is by Alfonso Cuaron, and he wrote and directed it.  Wow, all I can say is wow.  I cried, laughed, agonized and empathized.  After the movie ended my friend and I sat there for a few minutes, stunned.  It reminds me of "Les Enfants du Paradise", the great nineteen forties French film.  The pageant of humanity, the suffering, the love, the interconnection between all the people.  There are scenes in this film that will haunt me forever.  It also reminds me of "Moonlight", Barry Jenkins' masterpiece.  The viewer cares, really cares about all these people, even the terrible ones.  It opens your heart to a world you thought you knew but had no idea of.  Wow.
