Couldn't be made today
Yeah, the kid actor would be in his 20s.
Why not? It's not a particularly political film, one way or the other.
im surprised and glad it was even made at all. What studio would approve such a depressing movie with literally zero payoff. Its just watching a son and dad wander around with nothing to gain or no goal in sight until its over. I loved it. I'd argue its easier to be creatively risky today than it was back then.
The cannibal scene is one of the scariest things I've ever watched.
That ending was such a fucking cop out.
it's a dumb movie. things are hopeless because, because they just are, ok?
gay & retarded
which is exactly what the general audience reaction would typically be and why its shocking why any studio would approve this movie if money was the main concern. But this movie wasnt made for you. Simple as that. Most people like happy endings and resolve. Most people like their emotional investments in things to "pay off" when all said and done.
things are hopeless
You missed the point, retard. The message is "you should still have hope, even when things are hopeless". What do you think the fire stands for if not hope?
This. If the biosphere collapsed, I wouldn't starve to death. I'm just built different.
same director is adapting Blood Meridian
Based anons feeding the troll with sincere replies
The kid being rescued or whatever by that other family that was following them? How?
Loving family comes out of the blue to adopt you after dad dies during literal hell world apocalypse
Not a cop out
Fuck off.
I really enjoyed the film, it's a modern classic IMO.
However 'Biosphere collapse' is such a fake ass hippie bullshit apocalypse.
Do people really think modern agriculture has anything to do natural ecosystems.
'oh no I can't grow wheat in the soil because the forest is gone' that doesn't make any fucking sense.
...How do you think crops are gonna grow without sunlight?
the cause of turmoil is literally not important even slightly in the book and movie.
You're a fucking retard.
Oh I wasn't saying it wasn't, just wanted to know why you thought it was. It was kinda gay. Dunno how it ended in the book.
Read the book
That scene of the cannibals eating their friend after he was shot fucked me up as a kid
I don't think I've ever seen a more depressing film in my entire life.
Nothing in this is surprising or novel, its actually rather tame, considering i know how wretched humans really are.
Im still hoping for a REAL post-apoc movie.
The same way we grow them now, pump over-the-top levels of power into them. We grow crops in barren soil by filling it to the brim with fertilizer. If tomorrow the sun turned off, we'd use electricity to power growing lamps if we needed to. When it comes to food, we're really good at doing whatever it takes to make sure it's covered.
What you're saying is you want child rape with your cannibalism. Gotcha.
It's important that somebody does it or else it will create this false narrative that the movie is bad.
It's like when nobody spoke up when some of you faggots were jacking off to traps and acting all reddit like it was a good thing. Now a bunch of you guys are trannies because you hit the meme pipe too hard.
that scene of the father ready to headshot his son to spare him being captured by cannibal rapists
It cant really get more grim than that
If tomorrow the sun turned off, we'd use electricity to power growing lamps if we needed to
I think this is the worst armchair apocalypse survivalism I've ever heard. Where are you gonna get the electricity from, dipshit? Who's gonna build more growing lamps once they all eventually die out?
He wants the child rapist cannibals to eat the kid WHILE they rape him.
Electricity without functioning power grid/infrastructure
You're trolling.
It's not feasible to feed 100% of the human population with electrically lit produce. This means that many millions of humans will begin to starve, and they will attack the areas with electricity.
After ten years of poor sunlight killed all the outdoor plant life, growing enough produce for 100% of the population would be even more infeasible.
>Electricity without functioning power grid/infrastructure
And why would it suddenly stop functioning?
Here's your (You)
you use solar panels genius
it made post apocalypse real to me.
If you were in his shoes
HOW MANY CANS OF RAVIOLI WOULD YOU SELL YOUR SON'S PRIME BUTTHOLE FOR?
Based overly generous anon
Why did Man not use solar panels? Is he stupid?
they were cannibals. they used the dog to find easy prey.
You dumb bitches. The movie goes out of its way to only hint at all this shit. Show me the cages of sex slaves. show me the hung up bodies ready to be processed, show me the rape gangs, show me hanged elderly, show me the race wars, show me raider politics.
Its tame. Because its written by leftists losers who would be the first to go in the apoc.
The whole point of the movie is to hope.
All of this stuff actually is in the book. So yeah, they did neuter it
OK, how can we have a million Holocaust movies of muh war crimes and no real apoc movie then?
I can't STAND subtlety!!!
Go watch Mad Max retard brainlet ADHD zoomer.
Bad example because honestly, there are no "real Holocaust movies" either. We've never actually seen 90-pound zombies getting gassed and burned on-screen before. Schindler's List and Boy in the Striped Pajamas are tame as fuck. Hollywood movies are just pussified in general
there are no "real Holocaust movies" either.
where is the drama in watching jews getting deloused for their own good and treated humanely?
No strong single women who uses martial arts to overpower the evil white bad guy cannibals, thus it wouldn't get any funding.
