But that’s not the kind of movie it is, either. A B&W photo of a mountain is pretty boring compared to a color photo of, well, just about anything. That’s not the point of the B&W photo.

Roma is an expression of a time the writer or director or whatever personally experienced against a backdrop of far greater things happening in the world.

I found allota love, anger, sadness, frailty and other things not easily expressed in a slow-moving, almost motionless B&W, boring as hell movie not in English.

As a piece of cinematic art it’s great, hardly any explosions, no colorful eviscerations and pretty normal-looking everyday people living their lives.

So, yer sayin it's really not for an insensitive bastage like me who likes watching jeeps blow up as they go over a ramp and flip?

Preciate the heads-up.
