Viggo crying at the end, thinking he's failed his son, and not knowing he'll be saved is SO f%&king heartbreaking... it's why I can't watch this movie again, even though I want to.
I don't remember him crying. I just remember him being very sick and dying and basically telling his son what he must do to survive until his last breath. I don't think he thought he failed him because his getting sick wasn't his fault. It was just the way the world was at that point: Brutal. In the book it doesn't dwell on any idea that he failed. In fact most people are moved by how much the father cares (as illustrated by abandoning a huge cache of food because he knew his time was limited).
Cormack McCarthy was a treasure. He wrote the novels "The Road", "No Country for Old Men" (which is the best Coen Brothers movie in my opinion...I can watch that movie anytime it's on), "Blood Meridian". He was such a good author.
I like to think the dog they heard in the shelter was the dog the family at the end owned so they purely left out of fear and could have actually stayed there and been fine and maybe even met the survivors from the end.
I know. That was so horribly painful. The father knew he was dying and was so determined to get his son to a safer place he abandons a **massive** supply of food and other provisions. I was also bummed that the bunker didn't have any ammunition or guns. The fact that the boy was left with that pathetic pistol and **ONE** measly cartridge made me sick.
Hey guys, I just wanna say thank you for continuing to put out consistent content. You guys are blessed to have such a wonderful friendship and working relationship. Have a great day!
One of my all time favorites. Leaves a real mark every time. Viggo is truly a master of the art. Truly a beautiful and haunting film Top review again lads 🤟
I watched this movie ONE TIME after it came out, and it sucked the life out of the room. It was SO DEPRESSING. I had nightmares afterwards. It’s so ironic you reviewed this because 👉🏻 just this week I started poking around online, thinking back on this, almost wondering if it was still really real. It’s one of those things that REALLY affected me negatively. Even my ex-husband had recently brought up the time we watched it, and how depressing it was . . . like we didn’t even SPEAK of it again until he said something about it (and here we are, divorced now after a 23 year relationship). It’s one of those things that just hurt . . . I can’t even imagine what the book had to offer 😭. Thanks for the review guys, I look forward to it every Thursday!
Thank you for reviewing this film guys. I will leave my thoughts later after I watch the review. The novel is well worth the read too. It explains many things a lot better. And there's way more subtext.
When the boy wakes up and realizes his dad is dead, my hand jumps up to my mouth and thick streams of tears run out of my eyes. No sobbing, no ugly crying, just shock and horror at hearing the pain, fear and sadness in the boy's voice when he says "papa."
Very few movies capture the level of grim despair that The Road does flawlessly. A great movie to watch once but cant really watch it multiple times due to just how depressing it is.
I saw this two months after my son was born and it was so heartbreaking to watch but so well done on every level that I had to finish it. It is the only movie that ever made me cry. We knew it was depressing,so my wife went to watch t.v in the bedroom. When I heard her shushing the baby and heard him crying in the other room, I lost it. I started bawling and had to pause it and go wash my face in the bathroom. Lol . It is a film that raises so many questions and makes you think about so many scenarios etc. Like, I understand there is mental illness and different people can cope differently etc , but I couldn't imagine my wife leaving us in that situation. In that situation you need your teammate just to be able to take turns sleeping and watching the child or so many other things. You would be so angry and hurt that she quit! Like, he will never forgive her....but he loved her ,so he can't push that ring over tbe edge. You would do everything you could to live but if anything happened to you, hoping for a single shot ending for him rather than the awful cannibal shit etc. Also, what was with that? I know it's easy to say w/o being in that situation, but I would NEVER eat anyone, much less against their will. I would rather starve. It would hurt and suck,but you don't see those poor starving kids in Ethiopia cannibalizing eachother. Why were there so many? Also, it seems they were in their home for a while, so what happened to all their friends and neighbors etc. Wouldn't you think they would be in some kind of group or have a few family members w/them etc.? Also, why didn't he have more gear, weapons etc. At least a bat or some melee weapon? I am rambling...... anyway, great job boys!
great review guys. rest in peace Cormac McCarthy “The man who believes that the secrets of the world are forever hidden lives in mystery and fear. Superstition will drag him down.”
Easily one of my favourite adaptations ever and my favourite books of all-time. If you don't cry at the scene between the boy and father near the end, you just might be dead inside.
I read the second half of this book alone in a tent with my two dogs, during an all-night storm. It depressed me to the point of tears. I still haven't seen the film.
Holy shit guys, I just watched this movie and it was everything you guys said it was. When it was over I told my wife about it and got choked up telling her the synopsis and she started to cry... no joke. Thanks for all your hard work. Really thanks alot.
You did it again..I was about to lay down but nope gotta stay up and watch!! It's not your fault we just live on opposite sides of the planet! Lol and I always appreciate your videos ❤
This is one of those Schindler's list movies where it was beautiful to watch but it leaves you feeling so heavy and depressed you never want to watch it again
This is the type of movie that you watch as a young person without kids (as I did in 2009), and you find it to be a great movie. Then I rewatched it today with a child of my own (in 2024) after largely forgetting everything about the movie, and I found it to be more of a spiritual experience. But, I don’t think I can ever watch this film again. It stains your soul enough about the fragility of humanity, and makes you ask so many questions about life and the human spirit. This is a masterpiece.
The book was much harder indeed. So when it came out in theaters, I was pre- traumatized. I appreciated the filmmakers tastefully softening some of the sharper points in the book without compromising the themes and story beats at all. Seeing the pain in the characters faces more than makes up for any hard trauma bits kindly brushed aside. So I guess that makes the film no way easier to deal with than the book. I don't egret either journey, but it was hard. Hillcoat also did 'The Proposition'? I think. That one's a doozy as well.
The Road is a very, very good movie, depressing, desolate, dreary, but so compelling to watch the hardships and the struggle to survive. The acting is top notch, the story is played out beautifully with scene after scene of shocking, often frightening, heart in mouth close escapes that made me root even more for Man and Boy to just keep going. The ending is so sad, yet with a glimmer of hope. The music and visuals create an atmosphere of dread and suspense that is maintained throughout. A near perfect movie. Great review guys. Cheers.
When it was shown on Belgian television they promoted this with music from Editors No sound but the wind, and if you listen to that song it fits so good with this movie. "We can never go home, we no longer have one" ...
One thing though, why did McCarthy write the boy so... sheltered? Is that supposed to highlight the father's fear? He was born into this world, yet he was so unprepared for it. I think children from war-torn zones or natural-disaster-impacted places are more resilient
Fury Road prequel? Why of course it is. Never have I heard anything more obvious I'd never previously cottoned on to. Love you cats!! Keep on keepin on x
Been wondering if you guys would review this one! I loved this movie, but its definitely not for everyone. McCarthy sure did have brutal bangers, thank you for the review! Cheers Gary and Iain!
It's ending present a similar irony than The Myst, in that ultimately Viggo constantly lost multiple opportunities, due to him not being willing to connect/help other l people, due to fear. Ultimately, that's life, a series of decisions, with unintended consequences, and you have to make the most of it, while it lasts. The imagery of all the dead trees falling, has stuck with me forever.
Great Review as always guys. THE ROAD - GREAT Film! I saw this on a whim at the cinema and it was... INTENSE. Just such a brilliantly crafted and intelligent film. Great Performances all round. And funnily enough, I remember in early 2010 just a few months after this film saw the release of Denzel Washington's THE BOOK OF ELI which is similarly themed but more action-flavoured. That's another good post-apocalyptic film (*could have done without Mila Kunis though).
I feel like the 2023 film "65" was trying to do what The Road did, but not as good. By comparison, The Road IS the better film! However, The Road is still a great film to watch indeed! Not a masterpiece, but worth a watch! Great review, guys!!
We don't need to hear how the apocalipse happened. A father and son walking down the road years after the apocalipse happened are not gonna suddenly discuss "Son, as you know when the meteor hit the earth a couple of years back, Russia and America decided 'Hey lets nuke each other', then the volcano in Yellowstone exploded after the bombs fell. But hey, you don't see people talking about that global warming thing anymore". They just need to survive in the aftermath.
Indeed an interesting well made movie, one thing is to survive in a destroyed world, and the other is surviving with your son, is easy for audiences to put themselfs in those situations and relate to every character, even with the bad guys you wonder why they do what they do. Great production and casting you never doubt the state of the world and the people that remain, make you think about a lot of things, not every movie hit you in that way.
The novel is a masterpiece..so is the movie..great review, guys..thatś first sayd.. Second..I am going to watch the movie soon again...I have seen it for more than 12 years ago..but there was one sentence with had stuck to me...The old man saying (foreshadowing the end of days..) : "I saw the lights in the sky...no one believed me..but I saw it...and so it happened..." not sure if I say it exactly so...but it fills in a lot of questions you may have about how this all happened
The dog at the end may have been the dog they hear when they were in the bomb shelter. Meaning they could have stayed longer. Or could now go back to it.
As bleak and hopeless as the film and book both are it’s still surprisingly hopeful. I’ve taken away that the central theme of this story really is Hope itself. It’s about conjuring Hope when there is none to be found.
Good stuff! A favourite movie I watched it many times. Very brutal. I am convinced the "family" on the beach are the ones that have been following them. Making ending ambigous, but leaning towards positive.
Not to be a downer but my first thought about the end was the brother and sister weren't smiling because they knew this kid was going to be dinner and that was basically why their family was hunting down the beach, looking for victims to eat. The rosy picture being painted by the two adults looked like a deception but the movie was so raw I was probably paranoid by the time that scene rolled around. I would have liked to think it turned out otherwise.
@@unauthorized_logan The dog would be a very useful tool in hunting, so it's doubtful they would want to eat that first. Also I forgot to mention that split second look the little girl gives the son, she gives him this quick up and down glance which is just sinister. She's could just be afraid of him but my guess is it's meant to portray her sizing him up for edible content.
I never want to see this movie again. Easily the most depressing film I’ve ever seen. Have you seen the Guy Pearce Robert Pattinson movie The Rover? I love that film.
It's worth mentioning that Hollywood would never make a film like this today on the simple fact that it portrays a woman in less than heroic light. It paints a picture of narcissistic despair and selfishness in a mother, contrasted with a heroic father with an unbreakable love for his son. This would never fly today, and it could also be why this movie has basically been forgotten: it doesn't fit the current zeitgeist about girlbosses and "the patriarchy." Also it's kind of ironic that Charlize Theron has remained single while she adopted two boys and then proceeded to turn them "trans". The woman is possibly even more insane than the woman in The Road.
This is a case where the book is definitely better. Actually, I don’t think it really works all that well as a film. The book is so atmospheric and engrossing, and simple too, in a way that the film can touch. I’ve only seen it the once tho, so my opinion may change.
Making this comment only one minute into the review, but this movie is one of the most dour, depressing and fucking abysmally hopeless things I’ve ever watched
I hated this movie, Vigo was awesome, as he always is but, Charlize, who they hyped up as one of the main characters, had a part so small that if you blink, you’ll miss it. I tried hard because the book is gripping and the movie came highly recommended. Sadly, the constant repetitive “Papa” from Boy drove me nuts, to the point, I walked out of the cinema. All in I’ll stick with the book, as for the movie, I would sooner dive head first in to a pile of manure (Back to the Future Biff Tannen stile) than try to watch this again.
Love you guys and your analyses, jumped on to watch this as soon as I saw it pop on my feed. I had actually just watched this movie again about a month ago so it was great to hear your input. It's a very great, yet depressing view on how humanity can fall after a world changing apocalypse. Great review Ian and Gary!
Viggo crying at the end, thinking he's failed his son, and not knowing he'll be saved is SO f%&king heartbreaking... it's why I can't watch this movie again, even though I want to.

Requiem for a Dream did it for me
Gummo (1997) did it for me.
Thank you for reviewing this film guys.

No words or actions can truly express the love between a father and child but hell this film comes awfully close,
Very few movies capture the level of grim despair that The Road does flawlessly. A great movie to watch once but cant really watch it multiple times due to just how depressing it is.
Agreed. One viewing will last you a lifetime.
@@unchainedwiththecapt I haven’t seen the movie since it came out and I still remember whole scenes on occasion. It’s a very hard hitting experience
I've watched it at least a dozen times.

I watch it once a year or so. I've seen it at least a dozen times.
So very well done Gents, I know how this hits. I love the honesty you show to each other, and to us. Stay true.
Damn I did n't know that Michael Kenneth Williams had died (in 2021) - He was amazing as Omar in The Wire!

I forgot how emotional this movie was. Thanks for reminding of it
This one is one of the masterpieces. A really hard watch and you'll feel horrible afterwards, most likely, but damn, it's a great movie.
Agreed on the book. As harrowing and depressing as the book was, it was so compelling, a real page turner. The film is brilliant as well

Thanx for reviewing this one guys 👍
The Road is a worthy sequel to No Country for Old Men.
OTSR Thursday! Thanks, chaps! Have a good one, Shelfers! 👊👊👊
I read the book and watched the movie one time each. I still remember both and it has been 10 years, I cant say that about too many movies or books.
I feel like the 2023 film "65" was trying to do what The Road did, but not as good. By comparison, The Road IS the better film! However, The Road is still a great film to watch indeed! Not a masterpiece, but worth a watch! Great review, guys!!
I always saw the bunker as a welcome grave. In the ground warm and with food but if you stay you will die.
I saw the movie just when my son was at age of two. Right after the movie i knew my predestination as a father. Thanks to cormick mccarthy.
Only negative I can give this film, is the relentless "PAPA!!!" repeated at nauseum.
Never heard of this. Looks amazing! Picked it up on iTunes, looking forward to it.

Hey! Can you please review The Others?? It's my favorite film and I adore it!

This flick is depressing AF. It’s a fabulous film to watch over the Thanksgiving holiday (when it opened in theaters). 😂
I am seriously getting annoyed at youtube stopping to put your great vids on my recommended list!! Grr! 😁🥰
PS: Children of Men soon too? Every time it's on, I know it's depressing af, but I cannot turn it off 😁
Nice! GREAT movie. Very realistic and moving.
now this really cheered me up.
I never want to see this movie again. Easily the most depressing film I’ve ever seen.
Have you seen the Guy Pearce Robert Pattinson movie The Rover? I love that film.
I'm going to read it, reading The Dead Lands atm it's so good so this is my next book.
It's worth mentioning that Hollywood would never make a film like this today on the simple fact that it portrays a woman in less than heroic light.

I'm nipping to the shop for this one lol scooby snakes needed hahaha
I'm very interested in hearing what you guys have to say about this one!
2 good films to review that would be great for this channel:
Fallen starring Denzel washington
The Ninth Gate starring Johnny Depp
The audio ending is like Children of Men, but much more subdued.
Rip Cormac Mccarthy. havent even seen the movie but love your guys vids. actually im gonna go watch the movie now
Also I NEED Iains shirt
Guys, I would love to see you review the film Brimstone.
One of very few I cried my eyes out at the end of.
The visuals was crazy i agree!! so depressing and intense
Excellent but also very depressing movie you have to be in the mood for. Haven't watched it since i quit drinking. 😂
Powerful movie, great review and sweet tee Iain 👊👊
Lads on the topic of post-apocalyptic when are you going to review threads?
Please review The Day After and it's British version, Threads. Thanks! 👈
I love this movie and book. Lookin forward to Hillcoats Blood Meridian (if it ever happens) RIP Cormac.
Who else watched it at the time because it was Aragorn initially?
I'll raise my hand to that lol but can't say I was disappointed.
Just re watched it again after a long time, It’s raw , depressing, terrifying and bleak. With that said it’s a damn good movie.
Making this comment only one minute into the review, but this movie is one of the most dour, depressing and fucking abysmally hopeless things I’ve ever watched
Hey I gave you guy's a clockers review under y'all patreon
Watched it once. Good film. Never want to watch it again.
The 1st time seen this movie was right after watching the divide took a year to even want to talk to people after that
Great book. Almost as great a film.
Second most depressing film ever, right behind Threads.
I hated this movie, Vigo was awesome, as he always is but, Charlize, who they hyped up as one of the main characters, had a part so small that if you blink, you’ll miss it. I tried hard because the book is gripping and the movie came highly recommended. Sadly, the constant repetitive “Papa” from Boy drove me nuts, to the point, I walked out of the cinema.
All in I’ll stick with the book, as for the movie, I would sooner dive head first in to a pile of manure (Back to the Future Biff Tannen stile) than try to watch this again.
*Turn Up*

This was a depressing movie to me. 😭😭😭
Love you guys and your analyses, jumped on to watch this as soon as I saw it pop on my feed. I had actually just watched this movie again about a month ago so it was great to hear your input. It's a very great, yet depressing view on how humanity can fall after a world changing apocalypse. Great review Ian and Gary!
Yo
The book is very bleak and disturbing
This one is hard to watch as a dad.
Saw this movie a few years ago... it sucked ass
