The word "the road" was synonymous with hope until I saw this film.
Back to this movie. The protagonist is a pair of father and son, and of course, there are also memory fragments of the father's wife and the child's mother. Maybe it's a big earthquake, maybe there are other disasters, maybe these happened in 2012, anyway, the world suddenly changed. Without life, all plants die, and except for a gray day, it also rains, thunders, or snows. It can be said that it is a dead world, but there are some survivors. The so-called survivors are those who survived by chance, either because of certain beliefs, or because of their attachment to life, or because of animal instincts and survived for the sake of immortality. The surviving father and son started their THE ROAD in order to stay alive.
The last word the child's mother leaves to the child's father, let them go to the South. Then the South symbolizes hope. But the child's mother gave up this hope early and left them in despair. For life, the child's father firmly believes that there is hope. In his heart, there is a flame of life, and he also tells his child that there is such a flame. They were on their way, to the far south. It is a road full of hardships, a road of hope made of despair. There is no life except some who survived. And people at this time, in the eyes of the child's father, are dangerous and bad people. They met a lot of bad people, and when there is no food, people can really eat people. They searched for food all the way and avoided anyone along the way. They ran into bad guys a few times and were lucky enough to escape, and they were lucky enough to find a bunch of food. They also meet good people, people who don't eat people. On this road, the criterion for distinguishing between good people and bad people is to eat people and not to eat people. The child repeatedly tried to help other good people but was stopped by his father. In the understanding of human nature, the child is full of hope, and his father is desperate.
several times. The child's father held up the gun, the one with only two bullets left. But he still chose to continue to escape and continue on the road. The only way to live.
From the time Dad killed a person to the last injury and death, the child slowly became less fearful, and finally he cried and asked Dad if he could take him away. His father said no. At this point, they had already reached the seaside and had already seen traces of other lives. What would the child do if the last family didn't show up, would he go with his dad?
