To be a mother or not, that is a question. Yes, it is Rosemary's task to figure out whether she should raise a devil's baby or not. This is definitely Polanski's classic and best work. Mia Farrow is such a gorgeous beauty in the film and it makes me wonder why Woody chose Shun-Yi over Mia, a problem of aging or personalities?
I am totally not a fan of 1960s fashion cos the trend fits the skinny girls better. But, in Rosemary's baby, loads of pieces on Mia are well-made and refreshing, especially with her white leather sandals. Not mentiongin the fashionable supporting actress, the grandma Castelet(even quite sure if the last name is correctly spelled), she has characteristic head scarf/ cap/ hair pin/ hat collection. Despite the fact that she wore the exaggerate blush and had so many wrinkles, I'll say she's the mama a la mode (LOL).
back to the topic, I think the editing and montage are quite interesting, particualy on the series shots popping from Rosemary's head. Those whimsical thoughts are set right up on the top of her head when she couldn't fall asleep, and the memories are coming one after another no matter the chronicle.
I think it'll be better if I watch in the cinema. I believe that the subtle lighting suggests some metaphors of devil/ god; bright/ dark etc. plus, the props speak for themselves as well, such as the topic on the cover of the magazine, says: God is Dead. The ending wasn't creepy, but it was out of my imagination which is based on what the good always beat the bad. However, it is maternity, not about the witches' victory.
