In "Thunder in the Earth", the father of the braided girl died of money, and the mother was sick and had to take care of the younger siblings. Therefore, the fourteen-year-old girl embarked on the road of seeking justice and found that the government had nothing to do about it. , So she decided to track down the outlaw who killed her father with an older drunk police officer....Finally, after a cold and severe hunting process, they killed people and broke their arms. They finally completed their mission.
The little girl with long braids is smart, stubborn, pungent, brave, with a kind of courage and boldness of a man.
The films of the Coen brothers are always full of coldness, bloodliness, and a kind of simple and atmospheric pride. However, the anti-climax method makes the film not thrilling, but highlights a slow-paced urgency, a kind of fire that leaks out of the cold. a feeling of. A kind of pure men's bloodliness is embodied in the drunk policeman, and also embodied in the girl with long braids.
The sturdy life needs no explanation, and the dead drunkard policeman did not leave a word for the little girl with the broken arm. However, their previous experience is sufficient.
The pride of the west, the primitive wildness, and the bold temperament are becoming increasingly non-existent in this society. It is inevitable that the Coen brothers always feel "old" in the movie. Sadly, not only the hero’s twilight years, but also the lady who did not make a hero. Cavity era.
In "The Winter Bones", Cinderella Girl, 17 years old. My father is drug dealers, my mother is crazy, and my younger brothers and sisters. After his father was released on bail, he disappeared unexpectedly and was unable to appear in court. The police had to deduct their only house and woods for this reason... This meant that they would lose their survival...
17-year-old Rui set foot on the road to find his father. She had to deal with the sinister, unblinking drug dealers, and she had to negotiate with the police...
She searched and inquired among the drug dealers step by step, but repeatedly encountered resistance and was even beaten to find teeth...
Maybe it was her perseverance that moved the drug dealers, or the drug dealers just wanted to solve this problem. In the end, they drew a gloomy boat late at night to find her father's body, and they found it. They asked her to pull her father's body from the bottom of the river. Then he saw the two arms with a chainsaw to prove to the police that he was dead... At that moment, Rui shed tears the only time... This world is too cruel, but in order to survive in reality, she has to endure this cruelty .
In the end, she handed over her severed hand to the police station to prove that her father could not appear in court because of his death, thus preventing the property from being mortgaged on bail. And fortunately to get some money...
Rui was finally able to survive with his siblings and mother. At that moment, there was finally a touch of warmth.
Both "Thunder in the Ground" and "Bone of Winter" are both stories of finding a father. The father died, the mother was weak, and the underage daughter was helpless and had to walk into this strange and cold world, to deal with various characters, and to risk all kinds of dangers. And the lack of the role of the father is just for plot needs, or does it have a deeper meaning? Father, in a symbolic sense, is reason, authority, dominance, dependence, and strength, but the loss of a father means a kind of lack, a kind of disintegration, and a bloody loss? Is it a loss of reason? Or is it the spiritual dilemma of modern people? Probably all of them.
These two films are both winter and cold seasons, the scenery is yellow and depressed, and there is no trace of greenness and warmth. In such a scene, the blood is highlighted, and it seems to be more flavorful.
In terms of style, both of them are "cold" and "hard", dead, violent, and cold, and they are vividly expressed in the film. I almost thought that both were movies by the Coen brothers.
The brave are the warmth in the cold. The two brave girls finally won the ending with their strong will and disdainful perseverance. At the ending, bravery is warm.
