an unforgettable movie

It's been many years since I watched this movie, but I don't know why, but I can't forget it. If someone asks me which movie lives in the depths of my soul and opens my eyes to the world every now and then, it must be this one. Ministry, not Avatar, not Fast and Furious, not 2012. There are basically no special effects, and there is no visual sense of a blockbuster. The whole film feels hopeless from beginning to end, but in a dark and desolate scene, the father's efforts to keep his son alive are so dazzling and vivid, in despair My father's persistence and bravery are still fresh in my memory even though many years have passed. Fortunately, when my father fell, he found support for his son's future. Unfortunately, their only hope actually does not exist.

The Road quotes

  • 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.

  • Wife: My heart was ripped out of me the night he was born.
