27/08/12 "The Road"

 
Ben Reid recommended movie of the day! From the author of "No Country For Old Mean" and the director of this week's "Lawless" comes a potent post apocalyptic tale about the survival of a man and his boy and their detachment from what remains of humanity. It is as equally life affirming as it is depressing, but if this film accomplishes anything it is that it creates a tangible world not too far away. There is no explanation as to why things are this way, and in the end does it even matter? Viggo Mortensen gives one of his best performances to date. "I told the boy when you dream about bad things happening, it means you're still fighting and you're still alive. It's when you start to dream about good things that you should start to worry."
