no answer

.The whole movie is in dark tones. The father and son have been walking on this road. They have encountered the tragedy of cannibalism, and they have also harvested a lot of canned food that they do not know is stored in water. Hurting others without a choice. In the end, the father could no longer go on, leaving his son to this world that seemed to have no hope.

We don't know when that day will come, or how long we can last in that situation. However, just as my father said, we must be people with the flame of hope in our hearts, until we meet an angel, or become an angel. Maybe the movie didn't want us to lose hope, so the little boy ended up with another family that survived. It was a complete family, dad, mom, brother, sister, and even a dog. I almost wonder how this family survived, do they really exist? Maybe the picture freezes as this angel-like boy walks alone with his father's instructions and all the supplies, and keeps going south. I will feel more credible and more in line with the aesthetics of the film. It is a pity that the director succumbed to the hope of the public and the warmth of the world.

In the face of this film, some people see hope, while others see despair. And my biggest question is that I don't have an answer at all, even after reading a lot of people's analysis...

The Road quotes

  • The Man: Do you ever wish you would die?

    Old Man: No. It's foolish to ask for luxuries in times like these.

  • Old Man: Yeah, some people thought it was a con. I always believed in it.

    The Man: Did you try to get ready for it?

    Old Man: What would you do? Even if you knew what to do, you wouldn't know what to do.
