One of director Odiya's tricks is to permeate this romantic proposition into a dynamic and unpredictable multi-layered narrative, which also continues to change the rhythm of the film. He transformed this narrative method to form an art that belongs only to him
.
The film is not a love story, nor is it an inspirational theme. If it is changed to Hollywood, it may become a bloody movie. If you are lucky, you can still have the acting skills of the actors. But in the hands of the directors of European literary and artistic films, all kinds of fine details give a feeling of long-lasting water. Everything is full of uncertainty. Even the characters themselves can’t easily control the changes around them. Both men and women are due to external changes. Changes change my heart, making "Rust and Bone" more like a growth story of two people
.
The film actually discusses human vulnerability and compressive strength. This story is very fascinating under the control of the director, and his use of light is very prominent, using the effect of chiaroscuro to reflect the protagonist's heart. The ending of the film is bright, and so is life. Even if there is suffering, people can always find a way to restore vitality in human communication

The content of the film: the love between men and women, the relationship between sister and brother in the family, the relationship between father and son, and the current social problems are all entangled and intertwined. Unlike Odia’s other movie "The Prophet", which closely follows the protagonist’s narrative development, "Rust and Bone" is in the context of a crisis-ridden French society. At the same time, there is also the difficult life of ordinary people around.
"Rust and Bone" is adapted from the work of the same name published by American writer Craig Davidson in 2005. However, the film not only localizes the original French, but also only takes the core, the form has long been very different. The heroes and heroines in the film do not exist in the original work. The love story is also the result of the screenwriter’s addition. For the original cruel and heavy story, the director hopes to add love, the sunshine and colors of the French Mediterranean Sea to give warmth. Every picture in the film is carefully constructed, the light, picture, and lens move, and the brutal and violent life under the director's lens is rich in color, real and full of poetry. Each scene is so classic that it can be used as a teaching material case, realizing life in symbolic meaning
