I like the relationship between the hero ALI and the heroine Stephanie, Rust and Bone, a frustrated boxer and a disabled whale trainer. The characters have a strong sense of substitution under the excellent interpretation of the two actors. One is an impulsive beast, ready to go; the other is a broken woman, ignited by sex and love. The beast has no sympathy for the weak, and the flood yearns for the spark of life.
A poor and down-to-earth man who likes fighting, ALI, takes his 5-year-old son SAM, who depends on each other, to go to his sister and brother-in-law, who works in the supermarket, and her brother-in-law is a truck driver. In order to make a living, ALI worked as a night market security guard, night patrol in supermarkets, and with a friend, he and a friend installed cameras for some supermarket owners to monitor employees. I met female whale trainer Stephanie while working as a security guard in a nightclub.
In an accident during a performance, a female whale trainer lost both legs. Stephanie, who lost her legs, was in excruciating pain and lost hope for life. ALI came to visit her and took her to the beach for a swim. She found that she could feel at ease and forget the pain in front of this idiot who didn't show mercy.
Encouraged by friends, ALI participated in some underground fights, because it not only made money, but also could do what he likes to do, ALI took female X to watch him fight at the request of ALI, and Stephanie looked out the window at the boxer The hand-to-hand combat felt the strength and vitality of life.
ALI and Stephanie gradually became "friends with guns". Because ALI's "manager" friend ran away, he also became ALI's "manager". When she wants to have sex, Stephanie texts ALI "To be sent?" If ALI is willing, she will reply "To be sent!". Gradually, the woman regained her self-confidence. On the one hand, because of the prosthesis installed, on the other hand, because she fell in love with ALI, she was nourished by love, and she also got two tattoos on her thigh. However, ALI only regarded this relationship as a "friends with a gun". When he went to the nightclub, he openly made an appointment with the nightclub girl in front of Stephanie, and Stephanie was extremely disappointed.
The elder sister was seen by the boss on the monitor and fired because she was smoking and lazy in the supermarket. The elder sister threw her anger on the younger brother who installed the camera. ALI flew away in a fit of anger, leaving his son SAM and Stephanie who fell in love with her.
After leaving, ALI gradually began to take up professional sports. When he took his son to play on the frozen lake, SAM accidentally fell into the icy river and almost died. ALI found that the loss was so painful and received a call from Stephanie. ALI begged loudly not to leave me.
The editing of the movie is great, and I did a lot of omissions. For example, when ALI was hooking up with a girl, the previous scene was relying on the door to greet the girl, the girl responded gently, and the next scene was that they had sex in a remote aisle, no need The audience can also understand the story. In the previous scene, ALI suggested to Stephanie to go out for a walk, but Stephanie was reluctant. The blank space in the dialogue is like the blank space in Chinese paintings. This blank space is left to the actors to perform, which can give the audience a lot of imagination and promote the audience to think. Hitchcock's films use many such techniques, such as shooting a car. To get a picture, you don't have to take the whole picture. When you're two-thirds of the way out, you can pick up the next picture. What the director is doing subtraction is actually adding.
The Oscar-winning actress Cotillard's acting skills are remarkable, just as she was impressed by her acting skills when watching Cotillard's "Life in the Rose". I really liked the part where she danced in a wheelchair on the balcony. There is also the physical dialogue with the whale. I listened to the teacher when I was in the drama class about the "texture" of the performance. The emotions that the actors have to express on the stage are measured, three points for crying or seven points for laughing, four points The pain is still a six-point itch, it's not the roller coaster of joys, sorrows and joys you said, just do it once. The actor in the no-object performance is holding a glass of water, and you want the audience to feel whether the glass is full or two-thirds left. That's what good actors are, no more, no less, just right.
In my opinion, the movie has many loopholes in the plot structure, and many plots distract from the themes to be expressed, such as the story of ALI's sister, although family scenes can be used to enrich the inner feelings of the hero, if the director hadn't wasted a lot here The tone of the story is that the chosen plot is not convincing, and it is a waste to go to the supermarket to install a camera to foreshadow her sister's resignation; Stephanie's reason for going to nightclubs is not very good. How much thematically relevant story can the neighbor's breeder's dog contribute? How did ALI go to training camp after leaving after a fight with her sister? How did ALI and his sister-in-law repair their relationship? After all, this is a guy who raised a gun to force him to leave. Besides, the scene where the sister slapped ALI with all her strength was lacking in drama: my sister wouldn't be so angry, and ALI wouldn't be so Abandoning son and lover and leaving alone. So much so that the director ended up hastily, using a narration string to complete ALI's change of heart, and the son's accident was too far-fetched. The origins and transitions of the film are about randomness.
Maybe this is the difference between European movies and Hollywood movies, or the director's personal style, when watching movies, you can't think in one pattern. After all, Hollywood is not the only movie left. When I was watching Haneke’s movie, I didn’t understand why a still empty shot can stay for so long. Later I realized that every shot is a tone. You can breathe lightly, and also A long sigh.
Rust and Bone: Bone is probably like the narration of the hero at the end of the movie "The human palm has 27 bones, an ape has more, an orangutan has 32, a finger 5 If you break a leg, break a hand , when it starts to heal, the calcium will make the bones grow back, your legs and hands will be stronger, and if your palm is broken, the bones will never grow back, in every battle, every You have to remember this before throwing a punch, be careful that at a certain moment, the pain will come back, like a needle, like a glass." The bones are both Stephanie's lost legs and ALI's broken palm for saving his son from hitting the ice. These can be repaired slowly, but the passion for life cannot be cured.
What is rust? The film is adapted from the novel "Rust and Bone" by Canadian author Craig Davidson. I haven't read the original book. I only represent my own personal views. Rusty iron will be brighter after rubbing off, rusted body will be stronger after working out, like ALI, get out of the car to do a sprint after a boxing match; Stephanie is in the car watching ALI in the wild Fighting with others, the sparks from the violent collision between her body and her body made her feel the passion again, and she turned on the electric fan in the car to keep cooling herself down. The rust on the surface of that layer of life was gradually wiped off by this beast-like man, and it shone again.
Love is the lubricant that makes the body germinate again. Sex is the oil. Without these two things, the machine of life will rust. Under the collision of bone and bone and the friction of flesh and flesh, each other's face is full of oil, and the whole body is translucent. After all,
women are the ribs of men.
I really like the part where Stephanie tattooed her thigh. A "left" character is tattooed on one side and a "right" character is tattooed on the other side. The broken limbs can't stop me from defining left and right. You can call it left stump and right stump. After all, it's still left and right, and some things won't disappear.
