It's a good movie if it's not real.
But how could a bear child born at the end of the day be as innocent, kind and helpful as ordinary children. To him, just like a primitive society, the world to him is cruel, hungry, gray, and cannibalistic. How could he grow up to be seven or eight years old and still be fooled all the way. The bear child should be bloodthirsty, full of only the primitive desire to fill his stomach. Relative to other people, children born in this era should be more incomprehensible than anyone else - cannibalism is depraved.
So I still accept this setting - people are inherently good at the beginning. This is a good film, I did everything I wanted to express, and the happy ending also satisfied everyone.

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.
