What will you choose when stuck between devil and deep sea? Want to see what people will do when they have two choices “as good as two hells” A father (Viggo Mortensen) and his son (Kodi Smit-McPhee) walk endlessly down a road toward the coast of Florida, hoping they’ll find ANYTHING that doesn’t resemble the hell they currently live in. Yes! in fact they were in search of a better hell.
Deserted cities and flesh loving men, it’s always cloudy. The darkness is in its fullest sense. Everything is dead. Everything is colorless, wrecked and ruined and looks as if still waiting for some more, the worst yet to come. Believe each day is an entirely new creation. Enjoy each moment. The motto behind life changes there. The greatest calamity is not to have failed but to have failed to try. Each life needs it’s own quiet place but when it is blocked by the world outside, the war begins inside.
They were not alone in the journey of life. There were strangers, the scavengers who fight each other to get something eatable. The life then becomes a real adventure. The only question, in front of them, was that “What is the worst to happen?” They could almost see the end of the world. Life is just one damned thing after another!
Cormac McCarthy’s best-selling, Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, “The Road” – the story of a man (Mortensen) and his young son (Smit-McPhee) traveling through a desperate, post-apocalyptic world come alive starred by Academy Award nominee Viggo Mortensen, Academy Award winners Robert Duvall and Charlize Theron, Guy Pearce and 12-year-old Kodi Smit McPhee.
If you see some distant possibilities of whatever things happen in the movie, may it happen after a thousand years. Hold your breath till the real hunt begins! The director has done a lot with the “Unpredictability” factory. Yes, you can’t just imagine what’s next!
