The Road.

Watching this movie has seriously fucked my mind.  I almost wish I had never watched it, because it really depresses me to think of it.

Me too, but I'm kinda scared it will fuck me up even more.  Stuff like that never bothered me until I had a kid.  Hormones or someshit, who knows.

The Road is one of those movies that i really liked but i honestly have a hard time recommending it to anyone.. im sure that doesnt make a lot of sense but whatever. its unbelievably bleak and depressing and there is no hope for the future.

my only complaint with The Road is that i kinda wish there was another 30-40 min of the film where it is just the guy and his kid.. no one else. i dont want them doing anything either.. i dont want to see anything happen at all. there doesnt even need to be any dialog.. just walking and looking for food.

my thought is that, for a world where the majority of people have died off, the sure do run into a hell of a lot of other people in their travels.. its like every scene they find another person. i never really felt like the world was as unpopulated as they claimed.

Cormac McCarthy doesn't really seem to have a very uplifting or positive view for the future or for man in general.  I've never read any of his books but have seen a couple movies based on his work.  The Road and No Country For Old Men are both adaptations of his work and are each pretty fucking bleak.  Tommy Lee Jones recently did a film adaptation of one of McCarthy's plays called The Sunset Limited which will also leave you with a kind of empty desolate feeling in your gut.

They are all really good movies.  I am interested in reading some of his work but haven't gotten around to it.

And here's a shitty segue:  Speaking of the Coen brothers, one movie of theirs that really made me think a lot was A Serious Man.  Another was The Man Who Wasn't There.

Neither one is particularly life changing or mind blowing but they do certainly leave the viewer with some stuff to chew.

so are 'the shining' and 'barry lyndon' based off of novels. that doesn't make them great movies.

totally forgot about 'memento'. and honestly, the first 'matrix' movie blew my mind when i saw it. 'the animatrix' was really cool too.

that mark twain looks great. anyone read his autobio that just came out yet?




The shining book and movie are both completely a wonderful piece of creativity.  Might visit the "Overlook" someday if it's still there.  Close to it as in proximity. 
But that drive through the canyon and forest would be very enjoyable.

Into the Wild made me think about the superficiality (is that a word?) of society a bit more.
Also well made.
