I downloaded this film very early, and when I saw the starring Goleone, and this poster of a man carrying a woman, I probably gave it a literary and romantic character, so I didn’t rush to watch it; I finally opened the film one day. , at the beginning, the father of the illegal immigrant certificate walked down the road with his young son in poverty, and he set his personality again in his heart: a family inspirational film. Going further down the plot, there is basically only a feeling of surprise: this movie, I don't know how to classify it.
Without spoiling the story, this is the story of a man and a woman struggling and embracing the hardships of life. The man's voice-over at the end of the film: Everyone's hand has 27 bones. The bones in other parts of the body are damaged and can grow; only the bones in the hands are damaged if they are broken. "Men and women, what life imposes on them is the incompleteness, physical and spiritual; it is love that makes them work hard to fill the incompleteness of the body and mind.
In fact, I don't really understand the meaning of the title, maybe as fans say , In love, men wash away the rust from their bodies, and women mend their lost bones.
This is naturally a heart-shattering story. There are many suffocating romantic scenes in the movie: men and women swimming naked by the sea of Nice (God, this is not the place where it has been stuck for a long time!); the woman on the balcony doing the whale-taming action; the woman with the prosthetic limbs touching the whale that hurt her through the glass... But the sensational picture is just right. The tone of the whole film is a little gloomy, and the bright sun in Nice is also cold. When it comes to men's scenes, the violence of male animals is even more revealed in the coldness. His ML seems to be an animal vent, his life-and-death struggle It is even more painful to the flesh. Romance and brutality, the warmth of love and the cruelty of life are intertwined in this film. I still don't know how to classify it, but I still like the hard feeling in the whole film.
The hard texture of this cold tone has been revealed in the director Jacques Audiard's other film "The Prophet" (The Prophet). In fact, "The Prophet", which tells the fate of the bottom people, is the best French film I have discovered in recent years, but last time I only saw the director's sternness, and this time I saw an even more strange fusion. It must be said that this is an exceptional director.
The ending of the movie is a big happy ending, but honestly I don't know if this ending is real, or is it an illusion? For the cruel nature of life, I still believe that this ending is true!
The heroine Marion Cotillard has always been an excellent actor, but she was always a little too "goddess" in the past. In this film, this distressed, struggling and strong disabled woman is her best performance. Her beauty is beyond the surface. She and this film should have added a new footnote to the current revival of French cinema.
