Review: This is one of the darkest, blackest films I've seen in a long time. All characters, without exception, are unfortunate souls who survived in a bleak world, unable to improve almost genetically prone to feel like a mess fixed their lives. Image of rural America, the paint is almost as from a third world country. Most men a cigarette in one hand and a bottle in the other. Dysfunctional families live in shacks disappear without money and food. The sudden barking dogs are everywhere. Disputes are settled by fist fights or, in some cases, from balls. Only centers are grocery and brothel. Homeless people are slain in a few dollars a bottle of alcohol. The main character is Joe, an excellent role with Nicolas Cage. He is a loner, on the margins of society, earning money by poisoning of the trees, so they can be removed in accordance with the law. He uses workers every day, one of them is 15-year-old boy who is regularly beaten by his father alcohol. They need to find each other, but when the boy protects Joes, things get out of hand. The main feature of the film is bleak mood, emphasizing the hopelessness desert. Cinematography is stark and bare, just the soundtrack, adding some effect. Acting is very effective. First paternal guys are worth mentioning. It is played by a local homeless man who apparently died ended a few weeks after the shooting. Some reviewers have compared Joe to mud. The resemblance is obvious Tye Sheridan, who plays the same kind of role in both films, as a young boy who befriends an older man. But for me, Joe had much more in common with Winters Bone. This film is set in rural America, with Jennifer Lawrence as a teen trying to maintain his dignity. In a world of violence and dysfunctional families |
