Perseverance wrapped in cold

Winter's Bones - The title is exactly the same as the theme, the picture is cold and rough, and the tone is single and gloomy. It was as if the whole world was immersed in a breathless gray sky. The child's innocence and precocious puberty, the girl's perseverance and stubbornness, the man's vague and gloomy face, and the woman's wandering attitude. Some people raise the story to the awakening of feminism, which is a bit exaggerated, but the details in the film are connected together, but it really reveals such a moral.

A country folk song sung by itself at the beginning of the film fits very well with the cold and silent picture. I have to say that 19-year-old Jennifer Lawrence is really beautiful. Even if she is stained with blood, her eyes are still so firm and unyielding. Even if he was forced to a dead end by fate, he did not bow his head and struggled hard. The perspective of a female director integrates the microcosm of many people's lives into this role, so I prefer to attribute her precocious and over-aged acting skills to "true performance".
