the road (2009)
"We are not gonna quit. We are gonna survive this."
A post apocalyptic road movie. We follow a man (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee), as they travel across America heading towards the sea, as theytry to eak out a living scavenging what food they can, and avoiding the cannibalistic gangs.
Instead of the big event we have the slow inexorable decay of a man trying to protect his boy. A man knowing that there is no way out and powerless. Hillcoat has created an immense land into which he has placed two insignificant people. A powerful piece of cinema focused on the human cost and very real tragedy of the end of days.
