"Rust and Bone": The rusted iron bar shines again

A displaced boxer took his five-year-old son and traveled thousands of miles to his sister's house to help him. Working as a security guard at a bar, he accidentally rescued a drunk female whale trainer. I thought it was just a passing encounter, but my legs were sawed off due to an accident by a female whale trainer. Maybe they all suffered the same fate. The former boxer responded to the disabled woman and took her out for a walk and swimming, giving her hope of rebirth. Since then, the two have become "close" friends. Boxers sometimes participate in underground boxing matches to earn extra money, and sometimes help friends install cameras for shopping malls and supermarkets. The installed camera caused the sister who worked in the supermarket to lose her job and was scolded by her sister and drove away from the house. After many days, he came back to reunite with his son. When the two were excited to skate on the ice lake, the son unfortunately fell into the ice cave. In the hospital, when the five-year-old boxer and the disabled woman spoke on the phone, they finally broke down and burst into tears. The disabled woman eventually became a boxer's agent to manage the business for him. The boxer's career also began to flourish and won the gold belt, and the happy days of a happy family began.

The film is based on a Canadian short story, although the hero and heroine do not exist in the original novel. Produced and directed by the talented French director Jacques Audiard, Marion Cotillard was invited to play a disabled woman, and Belgian man Matthias Schoenaerts showed off his muscles. The plot is a bit lax and has many clues, and the miscellaneous things are detailed, exploring the dark life in the pictures of literature and art. This is exactly the style positioning that the director wants to express, calling it "the form of expressionist film", "using the power of the picture to serve the plot. A cruel and uneven aesthetic, purifying the darkness with peculiar visual effects reality". The seemingly bland narrative technique burst out with an extremely powerful force, hitting the deepest part of the audience's heart. In fact, this is the best effect of humanistic elements in the film, and it is also the difference between French films and American commercial films. Human touch is the top priority of French films. A film without human touch is a product of industrialization, just like junk food. Except for the appearance of color and fragrance, there is no nutrient in it.

There is an old saying in China: "Everything is prosperous with family harmony". In this film, the message is conveyed, intentionally or unintentionally, the down-and-out younger brother defected to his elder sister's house, the affection between him and his son, the tragic struggle of each individual struggling alone, when everyone is grouped together, they gather invincible energy, no The scruples made a fighting style, and finally won the supreme honor. This all stems from the power of love and the warmth of home. As long as we have these strong backing and harbors, we can make extraordinary and shocking achievements, and make old rusted objects glow with steel-like strength.
