"The Road" is not a disaster film, but a philosophical proposition: when the world reaches the end of the world, human beings can no longer abide by the collective survival contract, and the instinct to live is above everything else, so cannibalism has become a survival strategy to prolong life. If you stick to the belief in "goodness" in your heart, refuse to eat people, and walk on the road of poverty and death at the end of the day, what does this belief mean to you?

Is it proof that the soul is not swallowed up by instinct? Maybe it's just because this persistence makes me feel more at ease.

The Road quotes

  • The Man: Do you ever wish you would die?

    Old Man: No. It's foolish to ask for luxuries in times like these.

  • Old Man: Yeah, some people thought it was a con. I always believed in it.

    The Man: Did you try to get ready for it?

    Old Man: What would you do? Even if you knew what to do, you wouldn't know what to do.
