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.

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.
