Should we continue to maintain the goodness of human nature or the survival of the fittest?

It's so depressing, I don't want to watch it a second time. I think I can understand the accusations my friends and family have been accusing me all the time...Is it not the same as the little boy in the film, always be kind to strangers, and help others even at the expense of my own interest. In the end, I just moved myself and hurt the people around me who really care about me... After entering the society for so many years, I am still as naive as a child. Many other people's film reviews are saying that the child is so old and has no ability to survive in the last days. I feel like I'm talking about myself... Seeing the hunter who appeared next to the last child, I still want to believe that he is a good person, just like I always want to believe that there are good people around me

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.
