Film Review: The Road

[howlsthunder]

Last night I finally got to watch the movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's book The Road. Don't read any Wiki articles about it unless you want to be thoroughly spoiled. Any spoilers I will have will be below the cut, so no worries. Everything above the cut is pretty much a comparison between the book and the film.

Thanks - that saves me the trouble of having to dig through the book for clues, although now I'm curious enough about the various scenes to want to re-read it.

Like I say, the film is slow paced but I thought it was worth it to see the world itself and to see how the various events look on film.

If you read any post-apocalyptic books that are decent, toss their names my way. I once made a list of such books to read but have since lost it

I bought Beth that book for Christmas. I never did get to read it. I don't think she did either. Oh well. I still want to see the movie though.
