Viggo Mortensen truly showed the depths of his ability as an actor in this movie. Cormac McCarthy wrote a masterpiece, and Viggo brought his character to life in a way that I think no other could. This movie is criminally underrated, IMHO..
The days sloughed past uncounted and uncalendared. Along the interstate in the distance long lines of charred and rusting cars. The raw rims of the wheels sitting in a stiff gray sludge of melted rubber, in blackened rings of wire. The incinerate corpses shrunk to the size of a child and propped on the bare springs of the seats. Ten thousand dreams ensepulchred within their crozzled hearts. They went on. Treading the dead world under like rats on a wheel. The nights dead still and deader black. So cold. They talked hardly at all. He coughed all the time and the boy watched him spitting blood. Slumping along. Filthy, ragged, hopeless. He’d stop and lean on the cart and the boy would go on and then stop and look back and he would raise his weeping eyes and see him standing there in the road looking back at him from some unimaginable future, glowing in that waste like a tabernacle.
The most depressing part about it is that there is no hope for them, there is nowhere to go and they know this but the only thing they can do is to push forward
"The clock stopped at 1 17, there was a long sheer 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 calendar for years. Each day is more grey 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. Soon 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. 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."
+MrDanNoob I'm somewhat glad I didn't to be honest, I loved the film and rank it in my top 5 of all time and it made me want to read the book, which in turn made me start reading a lot more. I can still watch this film and love it, but I wonder if I would have had the same reaction if I had read the book first.
Cormac McCarty's book and subsequent movie "The Road" hits home with a powerful story, great soundtrack and excellent actors...The Best Post Apocalyptic movie ever made!!
this song really made me think on how my life is going... and how the world really is slowley dying.... slowly but slowly its nearing our time to die in glazes... what a sad and beautiful song the road has shown us
yeah it really IS slowly dying now ... well, a little faster than when you made this comment. if we're really unlucky (2020 taught us we pretty much r) we'll all be getting our own version of "the road" very very soon, just even more brutal and chaotic.
I HAVE A COOL STORY ABOUT THIS SONG. I had randomly came across a trailer for this movie and decided to watch it. All I knew about it was that it was a post apocalyptic film. I remember the moment this soundtrack started during the intro. The piano part caught me off guard! Prior to seeing this movie the piano part was one of the first little songs I came up with on the piano by myself. Nearly exactly the same. Yet I had never watched the movie or heard the song before. The beginning piano part is really simple and not complicated. Something that's probably easy to come across on the piano. So it's not THAT shocking or surprising that it's been used or that I had came up with it prior to seeing the movie or if anyone comes up with it accidentally. But its just always crazy thinking back, I recognized it the moment it started playing and I thought 'thats my little song I came up with years ago!' WARNING TINY SPOILERS: I got over it and thought 'what a cool coincidence.' And then as I watched the movie I found out that the piano was something that reminded the father of his wife, ect. How she played the piano prior to the world falling apart. That the piano is a little important. It was really interesting and cool I had just randomly stumbled upon it. Not only did the movie end up having flashbacks and memories of piano and connections to the characters but it had one of my first favorite little tunes I made. The movie continued to hit me in ways and I really enjoyed it. And I really should try and read the book.
Me too my dude, i know exactly what you mean. I remember playing this as a child at my parents piano, it was in there somewhere. Maybe this is why this piece moves me so much.
You are correct, except this has more lines. All great music is borrowed. :) Part's melody is much more stable, where as this one moves more. This is not exactly Tintinabuli style, as Arvo writes in, but it is close. Too many intervals in the main melody for it to be a direct descendant.
I hear this now with the coronaviruz. i know if the world is going to end, is going to be like this sad and slow and in some way we see this each day in quarentine. I like being alone at home but when all the world is alone at home is different.
"penru prima parte, cea cu jucariile care sunt asezate in valiza" sounds more sad than relaxing. could work, maybe, if I only use the part before the violin. but my video is longer than the part with only piano
It's a copy of Spiegel Im Spiegel by Arvo Pärt. Perhaps a tiny bit up speed, but essentially it's just a copy. Maybe they have permission (??), but somehow it quite disappoints me.
Keyboard is a wee bit mechanical and with no dynamics at all. A little like playing just the first bar of Bach's first prelude again and again and again and ...... - not nearly as interesting as the whole prelude!
No video, just sound. This is true beauty
"All I know the child is my warrant, and if he's not the word of God, then God never spoke."
Even the “happy ending” isn’t so happy because it is a life in a dying world.
The fact this movie didn't get an award makes me angry.
Well, the book won a pulitzer
@@jmnemonic99 Movie was better than the novel though. The novel was just too simplistic in nature and structure for a novel of that length.
@@titusmccarthy lol what? The book was depressing as fck. The movie actually was pepped up compared to the book.

One of the best movies I watched. Really shows what a father would do for his son. Have his last dieing breath for him to live
This is quite possibly the saddest movie I have ever watched...love playing this song on piano and violin.
"in his dreams she was sick and he cared for her. but she died alone somewhere in the dark, and there is no other tale to tell."
beautiful man
Best line in a beautiful movie.
"if my son is not the word of God then God never spoke."
Your words cut deep
did she died in the dark because the light bulb went out so she couldn't see from shit so she died in the dark and how dark was it?

One of the most depressing films of all time
I just barely watch the movie last night it really got to me . And I agree
not all film are supposed to make you jolly and happy mai.film should reflect life,and life sometimes is hard
Even more so now as we're watching the world slowly breath it's last breaths. We were given paradise. And we destroyed it. 😢
The most depressing part about it is that there is no hope for them, there is nowhere to go and they know this but the only thing they can do is to push forward
Another good depressing movie is moon 2009 you should watch it

Fallout ripped of this movie.
@@titusmccarthy The original novel that this movie "The Road" was based off of was released in 2006. The first Fallout game released in 1997.
What an amazingly beautiful,sad piece.I can't help my tears.

unlike I Am Legend, this film captured the gravity of any situation in which there is a post apocalyptic ending. wish i read the book first.

So true but there's only a few of us that think like that
To me, this film shows how to portray a man. A father.
i love this movie. i think its awesome.. but this will be a dark future...
Sad and so beautiful.
I wish i still had this movie 😥

This piece is _very_ similar to *Spiegel im Spiegel by Arvo Part* - so much that I suspect it isn't a coincidence!
thanks i knew I recognised it
I have to say this is more complex. Nothing exist by itself. I didn't know Arvo Part, thanks your comment I discover something beautiful. Thanks!!
You are correct, except this has more lines. All great music is borrowed. :) Part's melody is much more stable, where as this one moves more. This is not exactly Tintinabuli style, as Arvo writes in, but it is close. Too many intervals in the main melody for it to be a direct descendant.
Anyone else listening to this during the time of Covid 19?
i fear when i see all those people fighting in those supermarkets

So sad and amazing great movie
great movie 👌💜
Beautiful
Very emotional movie.... Very touching.
Most Depressing Movie I have ever seen! :(
You should try "Stalker (1979)" is 10 times more depressive.
@@TheFlanker47 You should try 'Threads" 1984, it's 10x more depressing.
@@jacobking4504 I will. Thanks!
@@jacobking4504 Theads is definitely more depressing.
We are our own worst enemies. We humans are the most vicious animals of all. for only men can hurt other men.

fantastic.
great music
beautiful🍀
I sense some similarities to Beethoven's Moonlight Sonata. Great film, but very depressing
Yes it is I wept when the man was showing the boy how to kill himself with the pistol....
Arvo part spiegel im spiegel.
Nick cave is so underrated I love his music in the peaky blinders and the assassination of Jesse James ,
Yeah, he's like not rated at all as a musical artist.....🤦🏿♀
🤡🤡
The book is more horrifying than the film. There are some scenes that weren't adapted, and for good reason too.
Nick Cave and Warren Ellis did the music for the movie? Had no idea...
I find this fitting for any apocalyptic game. This soundtrack might of fit The Last Of Us or Fallout 3. This is my opinion, though.
this is 2009 it's amazing year's
I can honestly see this on the last of us more than anything would be honest
spyrodoesminecraft XD so true
Stop comparing this masterpiece to your kiddy console video games, BRONY.
esta pelicula es simplemente la raja
Aqui estoy solo bajó la sombra del único árbol me veo solo muy solo y mi pena del alma quemando me cierto que hay esperanza pero para mi ya se perdió
best movie of my opinion!
Great...

No words..
Reminds me of Spiegel Im Spiegel as for the piano. Great movie and score nonetheless.
Okay?
Okay.
This is why if we're going to get hit by an massive asteroid or suffer a supercaldera explosion...I hope I don't survive the initial impact.

true history
Reminds me of Spiegel Im Spiegel, but Arvo Part's piece is more captivating.
This theme remind me "Reconcilietion" from TWD, Plus, the main character from the road look like Rick Grimes.
Looks a bit like Aragorn to me.

What does the song stop after the middle of the video?😬
The Composer died midway the making of the music. Staved to death.... Poor bastard
I would love to make a drum and bass edit of this, and make a spoof where Man and Son are the "bad" guys
