Jack Aubrey Posted September 5, 2016 Share Posted September 5, 2016 The Road. Kind of like a post-apocalyptic Walking Dead without the zombies. Honestly check out the novel. The film is great don't get me wrong but the book is...it's anguish. I love it. In fact...read anything by Cormac McCarthy. You thought the film was great? I kept waiting for something interesting to happen. The story seemed familiar, so I'm not sure if I read the book or not. It was great at making you want to slash your wrists.

I recommend the author to you anyway. Amazing writer...he also wrote No Country For Old Men. The Road is a great book but the movie lacks what the book has to offer, which I can't explain but just know. The film is good. I liked it more before I read the book. I can see how the book could be better especially if it went into more detail about what was going on in their heads.Exactly the case for me. I watched about half of the movie...and will finish it at some point...but without the father's internal dialogue, it lacked something for me. You know I have wondered for a while what was missing...I think you just smacked the nail on the head! Amazing novel. Fantastic writer. The film is visually on point and I seem to remember Nick Cave had some sort of part in this film...score? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Turbine Freight Posted September 8, 2016 Share Posted September 8, 2016 The Night Porter. TF, what did you think ? Pretty bleak but it is an interesting watch. I've seen it a few times now & I learn something new or view it a bit differently each time. Good central performances. Also throws up some tough questions like how far would you go to preserve your own life, can you really atone for bad things you've done or is it just futile and who really decides where the boundaries of good & evil lie? Also makes you think about the phenomenon that is now termed "Stockholm Syndrome". I think it's a film that is worth seeing at least once & having a proper think about afterwards. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
