Doomsday

This movie is really heavy, depression, death, and despair run through the whole movie. Cannibalism will definitely happen, and it is also the biggest exposure of the human nature of the crowd in desperate situations. I've heard of famine years before, exchanging dead children for food. Hey, there is a saying in the Three-Body Problem, survival is the first requirement of civilization, and it is also for individuals. Father is a great man who can resist everything. The vigilance of danger, the love and education of children, the vigilance of others and the kindness of humanity are all reflected in him. As for the child, I think it may be a bit naive. In that environment, he will quickly learn to be ruthless, and kindness is a luxury that will cost his life. The father will not let the child be so loving, after all, he knows that the child may have to survive by himself after death. If he hadn't met the last family, this little boy would have died very quickly and miserably. Maybe I'm a little one-sided, but human nature can stand the test.

    At the end of the world, when human nature is gone, there may still be family affection left.

    I believe that the end of the world is what is depicted in this movie. It is not the zombies in power, nor the landslides and the destruction of human beings. McCarthy's original work is really powerful. There are not many lines in the movie, but most of them are very meaningful. The plot is relaxed and emotional, and I am stunned by Duvall's appearance. A few minutes of performance is enough to win the best male supporting role, and Viggo's acting is at the level of Oscar male lead.

The Road quotes

  • Wife: [she throws two pistol cartridges on the table] That's all we have left. I should have done it a long time ago. I should've done it when we had more bullets. I don't know why I listened to you. They're gonna catch up with us and they're going to kill us. They're gonna rape me, and then they're gonna rape your son and they're gonna kill us and eat us.

    The Man: Whatever it takes...

    Wife: Stop it.

    The Man: I told you...

    Wife: Stop it!

    The Man: I will do anything. Anything.

    Wife: Like what? Hmmm? I don't even know why I ask you. I should just go ahead and empty every goddamn bullet into my brain and leave you with nothing. That's what I should do.

    The Man: Please don't talk like that.

    [both turn and look at the boy who's playing in the next room]

    Wife: You're right. There's nothing left to talk about. My heart was ripped out of me the night he was born.

    The Man: We have to. We will survive this. We are not gonna quit. We're not gonna quit.

    Wife: I don't want to just survive. Don't you get it? I don't wanna. Why won't you let me take him with me?

    [Man reaches for the pistol, but she grabs it]

    Wife: Don't touch it. I would take him with me if it weren't for you. You know that.

    The Man: Listen to yourself. You sound... crazy.

    Wife: [Wife pushes the pistol back across table to him] Other families are doing it.

  • The Man: Listen, we have to talk. That man back there... There's not many good guys left, that's all. We have to watch out for the bad guys. We have to just... keep carrying the fire.

    The Boy: What fire?

    The Man: The fire inside you.

    The Boy: Are we still the good guys?

    The Man: Yes, we're still the good guys. Of course we are.

    The Boy: And we always will be? No matter what happens?

    The Man: Always will.
