Low-budget movie "Rock"

I accidentally saw the "Rock" movie, and 80 minutes were only completed by a male protagonist, a walking car, and the phone that kept making and answering. Can be regarded as the lowest cost movie.

Locke is an engineering supervisor at a construction site. On the eve of the pouring of the largest concrete building in Europe, it can be said that all his bosses came to the site. In order to be a father, he rushed to accompany the female assistant who had a one-night stand and their children. .

Locke originally had a warm home with two lovely sons. He is not at home very often, his work is very busy, he and his wife love each other, and he often watches football with his family.

The 43-year-old female assistant has been single all the time. They worked together on a project for 3 months. On the night of the celebration, they drank some wine and the female assistant came to Locke's room because of loneliness. After that, they went home separately until the female assistant told Locke that the day she gave birth prematurely because of the baby's umbilical cord wrapped around her neck was the eve of the concrete pouring.

Locke himself was the product of his father's extramarital affair, and it took 23 years for him to recognize him, for which he hated his father, even though he had passed away. He has always been very responsible in his life and work, especially when he was growing up without his father's approval and company, which made him miserable. For this reason, he decided to accompany him, who came to this world because the two sides did not control it. Child, he is responsible for the child, even though he clearly told the female assistant that he didn't love her and let her know that they were a mistake.

On the way to the birth of the child, he communicated with his boss, subordinates, wife, two children, and key people who need to be coordinated at work by phone, so that the audience can understand everything. The angle of the film is very life-like and compact. Let us understand the trivial details before pouring concrete in a building.

Of course, the major events in life are also handled through telephone communication along the way. Such as the aftermath of a one-night stand, the preparation for the big moment at work, the continuation of the family.

Locke did not lie to his wife, superiors, and subordinates, which reflects his honesty and regret. It also shows his willingness to take the blame. It is manifested in that the boss has clearly fired him and arranged for someone to replace him. He still guides his subordinates in accordance with the normal working conditions, actively and properly handles and solves problems when they arise, and does his due diligence. From the perspective of the third person on the committee, Locke's meticulous and responsible attitude in his work will definitely get everyone's help and recognition at critical moments. In the face of complaints from his subordinates, he can always make the best use of the situation, that is, to help the subordinates to find a way, and let the subordinates pay willingly. He also gave optimistic companionship to his two sons in the process of watching the game, and learned about his wife's state through his son's reaction. Of course, facing his wife's accusations, he really regretted it. At the same time, he also expressed his love for his wife and hoped that his wife would forgive him.

At the end of the film, the child was born smoothly, all engineering problems were resolved, and the phone call from the son in the bed also showed his status in the child's mind, and the children were looking forward to him returning home. Along the way, his expression was depressed, helpless, crying, and confident. Of course, he completely buried the knot between him and his father, and he told his father that he was willing to accept his children with responsibility instead of running away.

I have reviewed this movie twice. First, I think the story is novel and low-cost. Second, we usually use the phone to communicate at work. Many times, the moment when it seems that we can't succeed is because of the usual impression of work, everyone helps each other and has a new turning point. Third, Locke faced all the whirlpools of career, family, and illegitimate children in one night. I want to see how he handled it, his upbringing and his usual accumulation were used.

People can't betray their family at any time, once and never is a world apart! Some mistakes, no matter how much you take on them, will never go back to the past.

    Except for Tang's appearance, everything else was performed by phone, much like the American drama "The Frightening Call" that I watched this year. This kind of small cost is a test of the actors' acting and screenwriting skills. If I watched it ten years ago, I would have been impatient. I can really understand the dilemma of trying to find a solution step by step when the world is collapsing. [If the concrete in the foundation of the building is used wrong, even if it is only misplaced by an inch, cracks will appear. Once cracks appear, they will spread. Spread, and eventually the entire building will collapse]

    exquisite. Love the concept of putting cement in the air, and ⚽'s character.

Locke quotes

  • Ivan Locke: Do it for the piece of sky we are stealing with our building. You do it for the air that will be displaced, and most of all, you do it for the fucking concrete. Because it is delicate as blood.

  • Ivan Locke: Look. Look and fucking learn. I drove in this direction and there will be a new person when I get there. Yes, because of that night. Constructed out of two bottles of wine and somebody feeling lonely. How could you ever beat that for a construction?
