The little boy setting is a failure

Kindness is right, I also understand the truth, kindness and beauty that the director wants to express. But the boy who has lived for more than ten years in the last days does not even have the ability to take care of himself and survival skills. He weeps all day long and drags his father back from beginning to end. This setting is too brainless.

In the whole film, the little boy did not touch me, and the man's doting on this child is incomprehensible. It's so apocalyptic, isn't spoiling indirectly hurting people?

There is no problem with the actors themselves, and the story is alright. Maybe the director's enthusiasm is not enough. There is a reason for not being favored by the Oscars, and a score of 7.6 is really high.

    One of the darkest apocalyptic movies, so a little warmth is precious. Viggo Mortensen's acting skills set off the slaughter of the last days and the remaining trace of humanity.

    In fact, the film is really good, but the main line is too ethereal. I like the performance and the psychological portrayal of the characters.

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.
