Doomsday

The dark theme, a father and son who have been heading south all the time... As long as he survives, there is hope, but there is a long way to go, what will happen tomorrow is unknown, and the decline of human civilization... Although the little boy is not particularly sensible, I can't understand my father's thoughts, but it is my father's everything, and my father's courage to live "I only know that the child is my everything, he must be God's spokesman" "I am trying to prepare everything for him after I leave" "Because we are good people and the fire in our hearts is still burning" It is shocking that there are still people who are still trying to survive on the brink of doomsday!

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.
