The Winter's Bone

Winter's bone, True grit, the same young daughter, the younger brothers and sisters in the family who can’t do anything wrong, and the mother who can’t take on important responsibilities, walking on a hard ground in the cold winter, for the sake of father, and the adult world, finally got their happy endings, to some extent. The difference is that Mattie, who has real courage in T, brings passion and admiration to the audience. And W, we may cry, maybe not, some people may fall asleep, most people squeezed their brows and bit their lips in the suffocating despair of the heavy chest, until the last moment of the end of the movie, they couldn’t tolerate it. A smile emerged from our face, because we knew we were so close to Despair, and even heard the sound of Despair itself from the roaring chainsaw in the dark night.
The movie begins with a gloomy winter sky, a low ballad, it is not lullaby, but it can bring a touch of warmth in a movie where everything is gloomy. Ree only cried once, but her mother would not look at her. When she needed help, only she could make a decision. She didn't know where to go in the future. If she just feeds herself, it will even be a bit of fun for her. The fact is that she has to take care of her younger siblings and mother. This is all of her life. She doesn’t care how the father who made drugs and dealers died, why he died and who was killed by them. The only thing she has the right to care about is where the father’s body is, and this right will also be taken away. .
How and who killed Ree’s father is a taboo topic in the movie. This is why his body can’t be retrieved, but his hands can only be cut off to prove his death, leaving one to his family. Way out. We have no way of knowing what words Gee had in his heart when he reached out into the biting cold water and fished out his father's body. But when she had no choice but to watch the hands being cut, maybe she could not think about anything, she could only grow her mouth silently, leaving tears, we would not know how much pain she felt at that moment. These pains will never knock her down, because she has more important things to do. So she put her father's hands in a bag the next day and handed it to the police, telling him that they were left at her door at night. The bag says, THANK YOU, have a nice day.
The last ending, if it is happy, how many people would say it is cruel. But they can at least save their house and continue their lives. Putting aside their material scarcity caused by almost no source of livelihood, two chicks and a banjo may give them a little bit of family love and tenderness. Winter's bones, although this translation is not as bad as the thunder of the earth, you can only realize after watching the movie that this winter's bone, accompanied by how much despair and fear, can be exchanged for the little remaining warm.
