"It's you who eats people"

Is eating people far away from us? Not far.

Looking at the film reviews along the way, I have no doubt that if the end comes, many of the film critics will become cannibals.

Humans are human because of human nature. In the last days, some people choose to commit suicide, some choose to eat people, and some choose to retain their humanity.

Darwin? Evolution? The strong eat the weak? How are you different from maggots?

Is animal killing good or evil? Are you an animal?

The film discusses philosophical questions, good and evil, survival and destruction. The reason why human beings progress and create civilization depends not only on Darwin's theory of evolution, right?

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.
