Throughout the film Rust and Bones the audience is taken through two stories: one, a past fighter, now Dad who tries to deal with the reality of having a son with no fiscal security. Another, a young female who is played by Marion Cotillard, who looses her legs in a tragic accident and connects with the struggling past fighter, now Dad \u2013known as Ali and played by Matthias Schoenaerts.<\/p>\n

First, the audience sees Ali and his son, traveling homeless throughout the streets. With dialog lines that go un-answered like \u201cI\u2019m hungry\u201d, the audience quickly finds the two to be in a bad situation with little money.\u00a0 Saved by Ali\u2019s sister, she takes them into their household and watches over Ali\u2019s child while he begins to have a new start, with a new job. This is when Ali meets Stephanie, who was being beat up at a nightclub Ali worked at.<\/p>\n

From this point on, the audience sees how Ali continues to treat Stephanie as a normal individual, even after she looses her legs, and thus \u2013 the two begin a relationship.<\/p>\n

This film does a marvelous job at showing the struggles of a Ali, a single parent in a tough situation, where he never really had the time to grow up on his own, as well. This creates a sharp contrast between Ali\u2019s life at home as a father and life on the streets as a fighter.<\/p>\n

All in all, the story was a moving tale because everything Ali worked for as a boxer, he had to sacrifice to save his son, while also capturing a deep characterization of Ali, and the man he really was.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
