Film
1044: Winter’s Bone
Trivia: The
title comes from an old Appalachian expression - "like a dog digging after
a winter's bone" - indicating someone who, like Ree Dolly, is on a search
or quest for something and will not give it up.
Many of
the stars (including Isaiah Stone,
Ashlee Thompson, and William White) and most of
the extras are from the Forsyth, MO area, and had never acted before.
The
lowest grossing film nominated for Best Picture since The Dresser (1983)
Sergeant
Russell Schalk, who played
the Army recruiter, is a real-life recruiter and combat veteran of the 1st
Cavalry Division. Jennifer
Lawrence asked him questions in character, and he responded as if he
were talking to an actual recruit.
