The Road (J. Hillcoat)


You know, make up a sheet film a novel is something that is confusing, useless list a thousand reasons, is as useless as complaining about one thousand disappointments that a transposition which has the set.
Hillcoat is not only a faithful adaptation of McCarthy's novel dell'apolitticamente fascinating, not only brings with it the scenarios, situations, characters, dialogue, but keeps alive, very alive, the fire leading his protagonists. Basically when Cadorette arms in front of a sloppy fit, it is precisely because the fire, the essence of the novel, which comes off nice, I would say trampled.
"You bring the fire?" asks the boy in one of the last bars, Hillcoat him all right, because if the book is full of hope, faith and desire of man's humanity - pardon the paraphrase, but very often these two terms, so similar among them, are so deeply at the antipodes - the film is the same, urca if it is, and if you read images - thanks to that blessed gift which is the fantasy - this Apocalypse, this world of ash and death, these two men, father and son, family in a miniature desert full of men, now looking up at the screen, review everything as if by magic, or perhaps as a punishment since that catastrophe is the work man.
What we said before? Ah yes, the fire, this element is as natural as primary evidence that there is still a humanity, that there is still goodness, there is still a path to follow, and Hillcoat follows, because the tracing of Cormac, can to create a binomial (cinema and literature) from the devastating power, it becomes even more because it is able to combine two forms of language so similar, yet so different.
It is a joy to watch this match, these mergers perfect. The Road must be read and seen it all in one go, without loss of time, the 256-page tear down in two days, if one does not have a dick to do, and if you do not have to do not fuck t'avanzano 111 min.? And so on, presses play, the tormented land, barren and bleak, including but even glimpse a sliver of hope fueled by the fire, it's there before you, would be a shame to shut it down.

Book + Movie = event of the year




wonderful theme of Nick Cave
