Very depressing film, with a sense of powerlessness and suffocation

I watched it many times, but I put it on hold at the beginning, and I finished it in one breath today. Feeling repressed, fleeing in the face of death, until death. I read one person's comment: Vigo has no armor and holy sword. Like a victim, the only motivation for struggling on the road is to protect his son. Regarding the final outcome, whether the boy was deceived or was taken in by a good-hearted person is a matter of opinion. This is the same as whether the top of the Inception space has stopped in the end. Everyone has their own answer. The man with the gun has no thumb, and he can't hold the shotgun. The close-up of him, in my opinion, implies that he is essentially good-willed, and holds a gun for self-protection. In my world, the boy met a good person, and he had support.

    Mainly the soundtrack of nick cave, the dirty apocalypse theme is still good.

    Music is better than story.

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.
