This is a movie poster from an upcoming movie titled The Road. If you think this poster looks bleak, well that will be putting it nicely. This movie comes from a novel by Cormac McCarthy. McCarthy is a great author who has written many books. He hails from Knoxville, but in my opinion, this is his best book. The Road is the most hopeless book I have ever read, and that is why I love it. Real life isn't all happy and great. It often times sucks, and life in this book is much worse than anything we've ever dealt with. The books starts out in a post nuclear holocaust with a boy and his dad. The boy and his dad are trying to make their way down from the northern U.S. to the coastline around the Gulf of Mexico. This book chronicles their journey. While the book is a dark, hopeless look at what life will be like if there was nuclear war, there still is a glimmer of hope. The love that the father and boy share is heartwarming and this is what carries both of them through the trials of their trek. I encourage this fantastic book to anyone.
I have seen some comericials for this movie and it does look very interesting. not a moive to take the family too but one that makes you stop and rethink where we are headed with our live. it will probably cause some people to rethink how they are interatcing with nations and hopefully not push them over the edge.
ReplyDeleteThis looks like a pretty interesting movie. It gives you the feeling of grimness and it is kind of depressing in a sense. It makes you feel alone, like no one is out there and you don't know what to do but follow the only path you can see, even if it is dark and grey. Like you said, life isn't always fun and dandy, and I completely agree with that. Life is going to throw you curves, but you just have to face them head on and fight through them. Also this picture makes me think of facing your fears because you have to go at it alone, with nothing else in sight, and overcome that obstacle. I really like this picture!
