The trailer does NOT represent the movie. At all. In fact the shots at the beginning of disasters isn't even in the movie. Don't base anything off of the trailer.
He's retiring?
that trailer's just to entice the action crowd, none of that disaster footage is in the movie

Everything about the film seems disconnected in this way — shocky and post-traumatic. This is what happens: A father and a son walk from point A to point B through a desolate landscape. Cities are deserted. People-zombies, some of them hungry for human flesh, stare out from abandoned office buildings and sometimes hunt other people. It's always cloudy. Everything is dead. There is no color left in anything — not the people, not the plants, not the faces of mountains. Ruined, wrecked, used up — it is our world, consumed at its edges by fire, at its center by rot.
Sounds awful, because it goddamned well is. But it's awful, too, as in full of awe. Awful as in you cannot avert your gaze. It's hard not to watch a fire.
When they do move, the father and the son progress through a quietly seething dream, a world at its end. When they run from danger, they clank and rustle and seem wetly destined to never get away. When the father grips the boy's mouth to quiet him, it is too rough. Rivers seem to be icy sloughs of poison. Yet they swim. They are a father and son. They carry two bullets. Anytime the man turns his back on the boy or separates from him, it feels — in a way that scary, apocalyptic movies often do — as if everything will end. But in those movies, the end never really comes. You know that going in, because generally those movies just flirt with the apocalypse, just offer a little look-see at a tidal wave or a nuclear blast.
The Road is no tease.
McCarthy said that he pictured the state of the world being the result of a meteor strike. It wasn't intended to be a post-nuclear war scenario.
Is the father actually able to kiss ass in that movie? I dont think I could stand another movie where the main character is a distinguished mentally-challenged fellow for 95% of the flick until he suddenly turns rambo at the end.
I'm wondering when this will come out here, because it looks like I should see the movie before reading the book. Movies rarely impress after reading the book.
And I just realized in the Fallout 3 Weather Overhaul Mod where they redo the skybox and lighting to make it look more like the sky would look after a nuclear fallout.....Fallout 3 takes place like TWO HUNDRED years after the bombs were dropped. So the sky would probably have cleared up by then and that mod makes no sense (would make more sense for Fallout 1).Yeah, but that's Fallout in a nutshell.
