It's interesting that the man isn't necessarily that good of a guy, maybe his getting shot with the arrow at the end was a bit of karma for being so cagey and aggressive.
@cjwright79 If this happens you have to be aggressive to survive when everyone else wants to rob you and kill you and eat you. One of the themes of the whole story was fighting the good fight but not lose your humanity in the process because there were times where he went over the line.
TO honestly tell you the truth. This plot would make a great video game (But playing as different characters). Sort of like Fallout minus the mutant animals, and the 1950's sci-fi feel.
@1klfleming I am not so sure, I have tried to look on Google Map for the area that looks like the maps he has but I can't find it. The movie was shot in Louisiana, Oregon, and somewhere else though.
After I watched this I spent a whole week fearing that some West Virginian hillbillies will come out from under my bed or my window and eat me or somethin
love the scene where they are stepping on the money, diamonds, etc. b/c the only thing that matters is guns. bet the democrats and liberals hate this movie
There is no "living off the land" in this movie. All the animals and plant life died. Humans are the only living organism that survived. There aren't even bugs anymore.
@ImagineA92 so besides canned food thats mostly rotted and cannibalism, how do people survive? Theres no way anyone would be alive without a food chain.
@Clyde200k We only really know about the man and his son, and they almost starve to death until they come across a hidden bunker full of food, just by stepping on it. Then later on the boy, with his keen eyesight, spies a house about a mile off the road that no one else has seen before, and they find some home-canned veggies there. And lastly, when they get to the coast the man swims out to a beached Spanish ship and scavenges some more food. Oh yeah, and they find some brown dessicated apples.
"... yeah but you won't. Because that bullet will be through your head and in your brain before you can hear it. To hear it, you'll need a frontal lobe, and things with names like "colliculus" and "temporal gyrus". And you won't have 'em anymore, because they'll just be soup..."
Why are people from the mountains always shown as the ones to go crazy. Seems like they'd generaly know more about living off the land and wouldn't have to resort to cannibalism. People from towns and cities, however, would know nothing about surviving without Wal Mart and probably loose it in a few weeks.
@toby4700 They probably do but the city folks depleted all the animals by hunting them after their food ran out ,this would probably start after one week of a cataclysm.
@M14Mann That's a good point, I can see how so many people suddenly living off the land would burn through the food quickly. It actually would have been cool to see a guy defending his horde of food.
@toby4700 Maybe in the prequel. I kind of got the idea from the age of Viggo's son that it's been 10 years since the catalyst. I liked this movie, it doesn't paint a rosey picture of what a Post Apocalyptic world would be like. Only thing I didn't like, was Viggo not having a knife, axe, spear, or bow for protection (you can even use them for basic utility work and not even for defence). Just his gun with 2 bullets.
@celshader actually I imagined that everyone would just brake into a musical scene at this point.... Oh on that point of survivalists I sware that Mad max got it wrong WHY would you be driving a high fuel eating muscle car. If they made mad max now the gangs in the future would all be driving Toyota Prius and Nissan Note's
@toby4700 Even with all of the ash and weather, you can still have agriculture; green houses, and concrete green houses used to grow vegetables in artificially kept environments would still be viable. However, it seems that the point of the movie was more moral and hope based, much rather than being based on the science of survival in the information age.
@NanaPudden Nope. Plants need sunlight to grow. If not sunlight, then artificial lights. But most people in modern urbanized society aren't self sufficient or growing their own food (or cannabis and whatnot), so you would need lights (and seeds that survived) and power to keep the lights going. Of which nobody has power left. Generators and batteries die. You can't use solar panels because the sun's blocked out. This really is a nightmare.
@MrDaldagnuur It never said, it's left to the imagination. I'm assuming it's either an asteroid/comet impact or a nuclear winter, a supervolcano. Or some kind of atmospheric collapse, a lot of the trailers show a series of freak natural disasters on a massive scale.
But if some cataclysm ended civilization (or even took out the power grids chaotically) as we know it, all the nuclear plants will go into meltdown. The northern hemisphere will be uninhabitable.
2012 is for punks. I would rather die in that movie 2010 than to die in The Road. There is no hope AT ALL for humanity in The Road like it was in 2012.
Yes, yes you are. The book won the Pultzier Prize and is being considered for a Nobel Prize for gods sake. The man is the most eloquent person on earth. You just need to absorb the book more. I read it veeerry slowly, sometimes reading pages twice and found his descriptive writing to be some of the best I've ever read. He makes post-apocolyptia feel as real as a war veteran writting about the war. Read it again and you will see what I mean.
@MagnusMuir91 you hit the nail on the head. The first time I read it was basically exhausting. The whole time you think this is gonna end horribly, but in the end the dad does what he said he would and they carry the fire. Its probably my favorite book.
@MagnusMuir91 I never said it was a bad book just i found the parts where it moved between the present and when he was with his wife were difficult to keep up with. Otherwise i thought he was very good at describing the hunger and how desperate they were
Looks like a 70's or 80's GMC 6000 or Chevy C-70 or the like. Probably a Detroit Diesel.
In reality this wouldn't be a bad choice for an post-apocolyptic vehicle. Nothing ever breaks, and when it does you can fix it with just a few hand tools. The Detroit engine can run on used motor oil, cooking oil, etc.
everyone's gonna hate me for it, I saw the movie and I thought it was good. But I dont think they ever should have made a movie, the book is a million times more powerful and the movie took away from it.
yeah i heard that that same thought too, but my feeling is seeing how everyone is just making movies about books it was bound to happen, so it was better then any other guy trying to muck it up with cg and stuff
This scene in the book was absolutely terrific, and truly frightening. It seems to live up to the text, can't wait to see it in the cinema. Thanks for posting.
I still don't know if this will be a good movie. Its my favorite book but i don't know about movie. This clip looks good but all the clips are giving away like the best parts in the book. it's stupid.
Awesome video!! This was filmed in Breezewood,Pennsylvania on the Abandoned Turnpike.
Last month I went there with some friends on a bicycle trip. We made a short video leaving the tunnel where this scene was filmed. Check out my channel to watch it.
@MNGS717 Some more details, please. Easy to get to? I'd love to find this place and spend some time poking around. Loved this movie. Can't wait to buy the DVD.
@sjplwc It is very easy to get to. As soon as you get off the Breezewood exit the parking area is only about two minutes away....check it out on Google earth maps....At some points you can hear the traffic on the "new" turnpike because they built it nearby......I still NEED to see the movie!! It didn't come close to Harrisburg and if it did was only around for one weekend.
@MNGS717 Thanks!! I went on Google earth. Is it the "Ray's Hill Tunnel"? That's the only thing I can find identified on Google earth that seems to correspond to site of filming, although the photos don't look exactly the same (could just be the angle). What is the exit #? I would love to pay a visit -- unfortunately, it is probably a good seven - eight hour drive from my home. I am going to have to try to work something out. Yes, you really need to see the movie ASAP. I thought it was powerful.
