did you never read a book and then wash the movie and realize they skipped major plotlines and characters and that it doesnt really capture the book at all?
The fact that the man had his thumbs removed made me pretty uncomfortable, considering that the dad specifically calls that out as the punishment given to a thief or betrayer

The child's voice is not heard in the credits.
Besides, the sons of bitches chased them for who knows how many kilometers, if they had even when the father didn't seem to be sick, why the hell would they do that?
Having the dog doesn't mean shit in terms of goodness, because it seemed like a sniffer dog.
Fucking retard. You're telling me that if you had a dog vs a child with untold diseases to eat, you'd choose the child? Keeping a dog alive, an extra mouth to feed, when food is damn near obsolete is beyond retarded unless you have a constant... source... Oh my God you might be right.
I think they were familyfags.
They care about evil in their family. They don't give a damn about the evil that happens outside this circle.
As in real life.
Yeah, it makes sense that they were following him for a week and approached him to let him make the choice himself instead of just ambushing him if they were planning on eating him either way.
>humanity is going extinct and all civilization has collapsed >still encounter someone every mile they walk
The world just didn't look decayed enough to make it credible tbh, i get thats hard to do in a movie but it just looked like autumn wherever they were.
>The wandering old man >Cannibal house >Militia procession >moron >dog family
Who else did they encounter?
(Also keep in mind they were on the road for literal years)
In fairness most people
1-aren’t looking to be encountered
And 2- don’t live in a straight line on one road.
If it’s anything to go off of I’d say that indicates about 40-60k living in the entire country. Which is actually very good numbers for species longevity and resource management.
Wasn't the implication, that resources would never be sustainable again, that artificial atmospheric winter was leading to an entropic death of most higher forms of life across the surface and in the water?
correct. Humans will continue to decline and struggle. In a situation like this you'd need to harness some form of energy. If someone got a nuclear or hydro plant going, you could then look into solars lights and hydroponics and survive.
Alternatively someone could possibly live off of mushrooms for a fair amount of time as well, if you knew how to cultivate those.
>If it’s anything to go off of I’d say that indicates about 40-60k living in the entire country. Which is actually very good numbers for species longevity and resource management.
There was no sign of good (except when the moron don't kill the child, but...) in the world of The Road.
It's as if the only message here is: There is no good/Everything is bad or good is just a transmutation of something evil.
They definitely chased them as prey and ate the child.
all signs point to them eating him and i fear every argument is cope. absolutely nothing explains the fact alone they chased after them, out of sight, for days? weeks? and then on top of that the guy waits til the dad is completely dead and the kid is alone to make his move. he's got an entire family, and unless the kid coughs up very quickly the location of that food chocked bunker, he's definitely cooking that kid. hell, there's a good chance they'd kill him anyway when they got there just to save on supplies. if cormac really was trying to make some faggy "there's still hope" ending in the book he didn't pull it off there either, and the movie is even worse. but both versions of the story still in NO WAY thematically even sort of hint it could be a good ending considering all the abject evil they see and even fight/flee from along the way. women giving birth and then having the baby on a spit for dinner 6 hours later. "parades" of child sex slaves and catamites, trailed by unfuckable, literal walking meat they keep alive as cattle. basements full of mangled people like texas chainsaw massacre. mass suicide, etc. you can't have your story be nothing but this shit page after page and then suddenly one of the most suspect, possibly most evil characters in the book comes along right at the end and tries to fool the unsuspecting kid of the now dead and failed MC - and people are actually dumb enough to be fooled by him as well
why would i read the book when i can just wasth the movie
>this bro washes his movies
did you never read a book and then wash the movie and realize they skipped major plotlines and characters and that it doesnt really capture the book at all?
readings gay ayylmao
Bar seeing babies being eaten, the movie missed stuff all
why should i watch the movie when i already read the book?
Say something once, why say it again?
>t.
>yt “people” don’t wash they movies
they had a dog ffs. they weren't bad people.
you can be good people and still murder kids
Exactly, her body her choice
dogs are good at tracking prey across wastelands.
humans can be prey.
I always like to think pic rel takes place in the same fictional universe as The Road
dude my heckin video game is the same as a book ive never read!!!
do you feel joy?
McCarthy is hot garbage for psueds, boy, nothing more. Best thing to come out of his life is the end of a movie based on his stuff
they ate him
Unlikely as the book was about Cormac having a son in his elderly years and facing down having to leave him behind for another man to raise.
They had a dog with them.
If they hadn't eaten the dog by then, they weren't into eating people.
the dog is a tool to provide food
that's one of the jobs dogs have specifically been bred for.
The fact that the man had his thumbs removed made me pretty uncomfortable, considering that the dad specifically calls that out as the punishment given to a thief or betrayer

Are any of Hillcoat's other movies good?

If you cook his meat no infections. The dog can also eat that. I see no problem with that.
He had a woman and child too, he should have eaten them and raped the dog instead

or you know, go back to the dead dad. That's meat right there. No struggle at all.
Well, at the time of the "decision" you speak of, the boy was with a gun. And they were probably torturefags from how the mother spoke.
Should not have left the bunker
should have at least orbited the bunker
How would they get into space, dumbass?

(Also keep in mind they were on the road for literal years)
They walked more than half the span of the continental USA and encountered fewer than 100 people.
In fairness most people

>civilization collapsed
>careful breeding and training of dogs
lol they we all be mutts fucking any other dogs at any chance
>Civilization collapses
>Manage to raise a child for 10 years completely safe and isolated
But heaven forbid somebody has a heckin pupperino!
He was a child farmer. The man planned on eating the kid one day.

except the book explicity says they didn't eat him
you'd have to post the passage, i can't remember it
