the road

[threeplusfire]

We saw The Road this evening, which was as grim and aching as anything on this earth. The creaking and the sound of the wind are relentless. The sound is agonizing. I spent most of the movie flattened in my seat, tensed to jump up and run away as soon as those sounds transformed into some menace. What a grim, grim film. It's revived all my buried fears of nuclear winters.

It is quite a faithful adaptation of the book too. (So much that I heard some people complaining as we left, perhaps expecting a much more Hollywood glamour version of the end of the world.)

My hat must go off to the people who made it - it's an astonishing feat. But yeah, bleak and brutal.
