      The Road--The Road to Survival in a Disaster

      May the world be at peace! There is no end! I like watching disaster movies, but I'm worried when I see them! Kudos to the brave and kind little boy in the film! In the film, the mother was dragged down by the apocalypse and left sadly, and the brave father took the child to survive in the apocalypse with difficulty! Distress and escape, time and time again. Finally, the arrow left the little boy! Fortunately, a kind and kind person appeared and caught the boy! The little...

      a tender end

      I thought the apocalyptic movie would be tragic, revealing all the darkness of humanity. But that's clearly not the writer's and director's intent.

      Dark picture, pathetic tone. Guns and arrows. I'm probably more afraid of the mutilated human beings that are locked up in the basement and about to be pickled.

      But it doesn't let us down.

      Are you carrying the fire?

      This sentence is very literary, and when it first appeared, it made me feel that it did not fit in with this...

      Please give Vigo a movie star!

      I think history will one day prove that this is an overlooked movie, and viggo is a neglected actor.

      Entering the topic, the film does not stop the depressing atmosphere from the beginning to the end. The tone of the film is extremely dim from the beginning to the end, but in this dim film, the director can always insert some brightly colored memories at the most suitable time. Perhaps I also want to further show that dreamy things are always gorgeous.

      The movie never explains...

      It's over, I don't think it looks good. .

      In 2009, the plot thriller adventure disaster movie " Doomsday | The Road "

      When I saw in the comments that the movie was good, I thought about it and asked for a map gun again. . Why didn't I see how good this movie was?

      The tone is very dark, it was deliberately adjusted, it looks very unnatural and uncomfortable. .

      It's still a commonplace, and it shouldn't be compared with logic, but I think it's very uncomfortable for me...

      ...

      A movie that can give people unlimited thinking is a good movie, so 5 stars. I kept thinking to myself while watching the movie, what would I do if I faced such a doomsday? So I have to admire and respect this father. Even if he knows the future is uncertain, he still insists on taking the child and keeps him with the bottom line and kindness of life. But I can't blame the child's mother, after all, most people would make choices like hers, and so would I. I can't blame the child for...

      In a hopeless future, the world is like a huge ruin, with desolation and gloom as far as the eye can see. The film was utterly hopeless for a long time. The sad background music brings endless depression, only the father-son relationship in the film is the only authoritative movie that makes people feel tender...

    Movie quotes

    • [from trailer]

      The Man: You have to keep carrying the fire.

      The Boy: What fire?

      The Man: The fire inside you.

    • The Man: If I were God, I would have made the world just so and no different. And so I have you... I have you.

    • The Man: The clocks stopped at one seventeen. There was a long shear of bright light, then a series of low concussions. I think it's October but I can't be sure. I haven't kept a calender for years. Each day is more gray than the one before. It is cold and growing colder as the world slowly dies. No animals have survived, and all the crops are long gone. Someday all the trees in the world will fall. The roads are peopled by refugees towing carts, and gangs carrying weapons, looking for fuel and food.

      The Man: Within a year there were fires on the ridges and deranged chanting. There has been cannibalism. Cannibalism is the great fear. Mostly I worry about food, always food. Food and the cold and our shoes. Sometimes I tell the boy old stories of courage and justice, difficult as they are to remember. All I know is the child is my warrant, and if he is not the word of God, then God never spoke.
