despair to the core

An apocalyptic scene and the backs of a father and son trekking together make up the film's downright gloomy tone.
In the end, I didn't understand where the father and son were going and what they were looking for, maybe just to survive, to live one more day, as the homeless old man said, it is better to live foolishly than to die. Perhaps this road has no end, and there is no hope, only this process, stalemate due to love.
The movie seems to be telling the story of parents and children. No matter how long the road is, parents can only walk with you for so long, and you have to complete the rest by yourself.
"Nightmare is because you are fighting, you are still alive; if you dream well, it is not a good thing." When the rest of the journey begins, I can vaguely remember the words of the person who accompanied you for a while, the road may not be very good alone.

    I kind of like the pace of the movie that gives you a lot of time to ponder. I'd like to read the novel now.
