The Road rekalled....

The Road is the film adaptation of the Cormac McCarthy novel of the same name. Since I have not read the novel I can not delve into the accuracies of the translation but the film was a bleak one indeed. I had heard much before seeing the film about how bleak it was but I was prepared for worse I guess since I thought it ended on a happy tone, relatively. I enjoyed the film for as much as one can enjoy a film about human misery and man trying to remain human. A grey color pallet and dreary settings worked really well in setting the mood and reality of this film. It is a film that I keep thinking about and makes me wonders which is a great sign of a good film, entertaining and challenging. Just be prepared for the atypical hollywood film.
