The following movie came up in casual conversation today.
Rust and Bone (2012)
The movie was released 17 May 2012 in France/Belgium/Switzerland, and 1 September 2012 in the U.S.
The Boston Marathon Bombing (BoMB) media clips were released 15 April 2013.
The movie stars
Marion Cotillard. She plays Stephanie, who "works at a local marine tourist park where she suffers a tragic accident during a show and wakes up in the hospital to realize that her
legs have been amputated."
From
"The Independent":
Rust and Bone was one of the first films she signed up for after the birth of Marcel. Seeing the actress without legs is a punch in the guts – even if it is just CGI. She says she didn't do any research into amputees, apart from watching footage of how to move. "It was not so much the physicality of the part that interested me, but the emotion. I haven't lost my legs, but I have lost, and I have felt pain. I knew the CGI would work, because otherwise, there was going to be no movie.
"The first scene I did without legs, I was in a wheelchair, so my legs were bandaged up underneath me. In every scene, the CGI people were so quick, and so discreet, that I barely noticed them. I have to say, when I saw it for the first time in a cinema, I was amazed. It is so powerful."
