"Doomsday" I most want to thank that family of four for their kindness

After watching the movie, I kept recalling the "why are you stalking us" my dad said twice. The first time was to the black man, the second time was to the lady on the second floor. Did he feel that he was being followed? I have always been inexplicable why the male protagonist thinks this way. At the end, I understand. If the bad guy who stalked you would have done it early in the night when you and your son were sleeping?

The male protagonist keeps teaching his son to be a good person and always has a fire in his heart. But in order to protect the safety of his children, he had to always be alert to anyone and any sound. In the bridge section of the basement, the sound of the ground forced the two to leave their comfort zone. The son asked Dad, why do you always think about things badly... In fact, Dad was right, he had to do it. But he would never have imagined that there was actually such a kind family protecting his son...

In the end, Dad had to die, coughing up blood, starvation, and leg injuries.

The boy will always remember those three sentences, do you eat people, are you good people, do you have a flame in your heart...

In fact, it is difficult for everyone to survive in this gray apocalypse. The boy has not been dehumanized by the apocalypse, especially the family of four. "We have been following your father and son" and "I am very worried about you." This family also disrupted their original plan for the sake of others. They should have their own path, but they have been following the little boy so as not to disturb the vigilant father. I want to ask if the father does not die, but they Don't think so. They just want to make sure the boy isn't alone in the world.

It's best if you're okay, and if you're alone, there's us. People who have never been plain face are so kind, people living in this prosperous world should cherish everything we have...

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.
