How does rust and bone end

Similarly, Ali becomes a better father only when he almost watches his son die before him. In another scene, he tosses the boy in a careless act of frustration. However dramatically artificial these flourishes may seem, the emotions they produce are genuine. And since each emotion in Rust and Bone is inextricable from its physical counterpart, the viewer feels their way through the film in an emotional and physical sense. He believed aesthetic choices—ranging from something as simple as camera angles to the way editing interrupts the space-time continuum—prevent film from accurately portraying reality.

Not even the human field of vision is accurately represented by the camera, since the camera sees in two dimensions; however, the camera can also see more clearly in long distances or near-microscopic detail, and with sharper resolution than the eye. Additionally, film cannot engage our sense of smell, taste, and touch no matter how often something like Smell-O-Vision or D-Box seats come along trying to make up for those sensory losses. Audiard seeks to invest his audience on a physical and emotional level; not through narrative realism, but through a sensuous drama that mines the intimacy of its characters.

Parenthood, lovemaking, fighting, and existing within a vulnerable physical form require an inherent rawness and toughness, an acceptance of the mind-body dichotomy in all of its imbalance. Rust and Bone makes the viewer profoundly aware of how the body reacts in emotional situations, bonding us to its characters, whose experiences are so deeply felt. Arnheim, Rudolf. Ali persists. Usually one of the two characters wants him to come in; the other is not so sure.

Is she interested in him, is she merely thanking him for the ride, or does she want to see how her boyfriend reacts? And if her boyfriend does love her, how should he react to this event? Why is she still interested?

Perhaps because he noticed, and her boyfriend never did. Disability is a popular movie theme. That it clutches our emotions and comes up big at the Academy Awards are at least two powerful reasons why elite filmmakers might explore it.

Bernie Madoff supposedly committed his massive fraud because he was once pitied and vowed it would never happen again. And they are, very much so: Schoenaerts in particular is a revelation, saturated with a self-pitying dumb masculinity employed as a defense mechanism, and boasting an immensely mutable, soulful face like a Belgian Tom Hardy.

It's a fairly complex role that the actor plays perfectly, and it's next to impossible to imagine any version of Rust and Bone working at all without his exact take on Ali: not asking for nor accepting our sympathy, thuggishly pushing the audience away just like all of the other characters, but still being more like a sad boy than a misanthropic adult. And if Cotillard simply doesn't get as much to do - she is largely ushered out of the movie except as a prop for the last third - she takes full advantage of the scenes the movie gives her, giving the best performance of her career since she started hitting it big in Hollywood pictures she was filming Rust and Bone in tandem with The Dark Knight Rises , and it's quite impossible to square her messy non-performance there with the steely, precise work she turns in here.

If that's not great filmmaking, then I never. This all comes back to the question of, "is that all? Frankly, it seems like it's doing a lot of outstanding work simply in order not to sink into ludicrous sentimentality, rather than doing outstanding work to be an outstanding movie.

It lacks the electricity of A Prophet , to say the least: but still and all, it is a nervy, potent bit of cinema. Sometimes that's all a movie wants to be, and in this case, it's quite enough.
