rust and bone

Levi 2022-03-26 09:01:09

Life has carved stains of rust on our body and heart, but we still need to stretch the steel frame of our spirit, get up and start again. The needles and corners of the wound sutured by the female protagonist Stepheny's amputation section are like rust stains that eat away at her once proud, radiant and confident. She even lost part of her bones, her flexible legs, which was undoubtedly hopeless for a former whale trainer. Music, ocean, dancing with whales, everything she loved was deprived by the accident, she became a boneless person, the body lost the support of her feet, and the spirit also lost the support of her love. The male protagonist Ali is like a naive big boy, straightforward and simple. He took her for a swim, regained her passion, found the love of life. Seeing that the heroine has no legs, still enjoying the embrace of the ocean, sitting in a wheelchair, still swaying and dancing to the rhythm, enduring pain, adapting to standing upright, adapting to prosthetic limbs, just to put on skirts and high heels again...I think , this is the power of love. From her eyes watching Ali's boxing match, I saw excitement, curiosity, light, and vitality. Humans are born to need to hug together for warmth, especially the attraction or influence between the opposite sex, the power is strong enough to reshape the steel bones.

    Except for the strong sense of paragraphs in the play (point of view change, and too many accidents as a driving force - but still won the Caesar Award for screenwriting...), this film is still quite good, especially the audio-visual language is very concise, accurate and rich style. Ali and the whale are a metonymy, both domesticated by Stephanie, but full of beastly power and danger. The analysis of Ali also brings up the structural problem of class. Looking back at the 65th Cannes lineup is really scary. Odia with such a good luck in the award can't blame anyone for not winning the award hahaha...

    The male pig's foot is a bastard all the way, there is nothing that can't be saved or not grown. But it's all because of his tendon that I have the motivation to fast-forward and watch the full movie. Marion did a good job, but judging from the terrible situation of the movie itself, it is really unreliable to say that next year's Oscar heroine will hold steady.

Rust and Bone quotes

  • Sam: I want to skate, too.

    Alain van Versch: It's not Skate, it's Ski.

    Sam: It's Skate.

    Alain van Versch: No, it's Ski.

    Sam: Skate!

    Alain van Versch: Ski.

    Sam: You're annoying me!

  • Alain van Versch: Twenty-seven bones in a human hand. Certain monkeys have more. Gorillas, 32. Five in each thumb. A man has 27. You break a hand, you break a leg... after a while calcium joins it back together. It may even end up stronger than before. But break a bone in your hand and you'll see it never heals. You'll remember it at each fight, with every punch. You'll be careful. But one day... the pain will come back. Like needles. Like broken glass.
