Title: The Road 2006
Product review: Plot Kernel - It's the end of civilization and the people are nearly gone. A man and a boy walk south. They have a plastic tarp, a grocery store pushcart with a mirror attached to see behind them, and knapsacks on their backs. The man has a revolver. Along the way they speak in grammatically simple, short, childish sentences like characters in an old Dick and Jane learning-to-read book. There are no quotation marks. Do you see that? Yes, I see that. What is it? I don't know. Of course you don't. Are we going to die? Of course we are. Oh, I am afraid. The narrator drops his verbs. The wind cold. The hunger and thirst and cold. Everything ashes and dried and burnt. Memories of her. Fear inside them. The poetry of apocalypse around them. He breaks sentences in two. They sat down. Sipping water. Such poetry. Give the man acclaim. This is so wrenching. Award him a Pulitzer. I am about to weep.
