Dank movie, shit post though

kid dies at the end

it is really worth it, i loved the movie

ur a faggot

It looks kind of slow. Is there a lot of adrenaline pumping action?

it is slow, not much action.

the movie is a feeling a loss and dread on celluloid.

some movies make you feel happy, some sad, some hopeful, this one makes you feel like there is a coming doom and that you are running out of time.

its very well done and pretty damned close to the book, only a couple book scenes are missing and the timeline of events is change,d but its a great adaptation.

one of my favorite films, but its a drama. not an action or an adventure, its a slow paced drama set at the end of mankind.

Op is lowkey tryna get us to write him an essay for an assignment.

Nah, I'm just trying to pick a movie to watch.

This should help you decide.

books was much better, a ton of symbolism if you like to interpret that.
theron added shit to give herself more screen time. still a good movie.

Blade Runner's a great movie if you haven't seen that yet.

Books better

As said it's more of a contemplational piece, it's not michael baying anything, most of the scenery is in grey or muddy tones, as an actual "almost to the end day of human being" can get.
If you're into post apo, definatly worth a watch.
Also try and watch "a boy and his dog" as well, alongside with the good ol' mad max 1-2-3 for a good but changing post apo vibe.

Book is better

book and film are almost exactly the same. damn near scene for scene. the 5 minutes of extra story they add about the events before the collapse added to the story imo.

the only scene from the book they left out was the baby eating, and i can see why, its a hard enough movie to sell to an audience without watching a mom shit out a kid and then roast it over flame.

Stop right there. Get your ass to the library and read this Book instead. The movie is okay, the book is an emotional fuck fest of feels. Don't be a faggot who only watches movies user.

I read the book. Quite dark and sad, but also very well written with a magnetic plot. If the movie is like the book, it's good.

used to be a good imdb thread about whether it was really the end of mankind or not.

mccarthy said it was, but he didnt tie up the loose ends in his book to drive that home forward imo.

technology would save a chosen few, and even in those conditions some life would thrive. lichen and fungi would love a dark, damp, co2 heavy atmosphere. beetles and worms would thrive having all that dead shit to eat and no natural predators left alive to eat them.

so as long as you dont mind eating worms, beetles, and shrooms you could survive.

And of course I would eat anyone that looked at me cross eyed.

its one of the most faithful adaptations to a piece of literature ive seen.

its up there with Watchmen, these dudes saying "the book is better" are just being hipster pricks that always say that shit. probably havent read the book or seen the film.

Pretty much what everyone else has sad. It is slow and sad, just like the book. Book is better but movie does a good job, is one of the better book to film adaptations imo.

It's a sad story though and a slow paced story. So if you aren't into that you probably won't like it. Not sure I'd say it's a human misery drama but damn close.

>A noise? better kill my son
>Someone's over there, better kill my son
>Found some food, better kill my son
>Shoot at stranger for no reason, better kill my son
>Blargh dead, why didn't i kill my son!
Hey boy, my family was following you and your dad, he was a psycho! we didn't want to get near him, come live with us *Que credits*

Tl:dr The whole movie is literally a road and a house, it has no fantasy to draw you in, nor zombies or raiders or really anything of any kind to draw on, It has no outstanding scenery or music score to even make it good as eye/ear 'porn'.

i hate to be the one, considering i'm rarely reading books, but..

>better read the book

its set 10 years AFTER the end.

all resources are gone, all people are starving, he had one bullet.

the scene with the cannibals and their "stockyard" basement tells you why he was going to kill his son.

kill him to save him the torture of being carved up piece by piece. thats how the cannibals were eating people. cutting an arm off, leg, etc. etc.

even the first group of marauders they encountered had a dude without a leg. he must have drawn the short straw that day.

i think the end was more sinister than you think. Pretty sure the end the kid got taken in by a family of cannibals....they've been eating something. And the dude was missing his thumbs just like the nigger was.

I agree with this faggot. The ending was ambiguous on purpose, we don't know for certain if they were gonna actually help him out or eat him.

in the book, he wasn't missed a thumb. the director added that.
he was likely finding a mate for his daughter so they could keep mankind going.

#spoilers

No... we have read the book. The book is better. Sure, the movie is good too, but anyone can sit on thier ass and watch a movie. Not everyone will engage with the book version, which will always be better. There are almost no movies where the book is worse than the moview, but plenty of cases where the movie is worse than the book.

Suck my dick! This is Sup Forums not some English class dipshit. Proofread that motherfucker.

blade runner is one of the most overrated movies ever in my opinion

the whole appeal of the story is: "it's really difficult to distinguish androids and humans because technology is that sophisticated". that's just a storybase for a bigger, more complex story to be built upon. seems like scott thought it's not worth to care more because people are satisfied if there is some story and a lot of cgi (or whatever the fuck it was called back then). at least he's choosing better motifs and has an better eye for aestethics than jj abrams and the like

it's 100% worth it but prepare to be depressed for rest of the week

i think cormac mccarthy books translate very well to the screen, almost to the point that the movies are better.

Child Of God for instance is a tough read, hard to visualize certain parts. the movie was spot on, one of the most under rated films ive ever seen and one of the few films that are better than the book imo. the lead actor was perfect.

Do your own homework, you lazy piece of shit.

Bladerunner is about whether artificial consciousness is fundamentally different from ours, you twit.

stop exaggerating, faggot! it's a trait that won't bring you far

awhh, no, sorry
in fact you could be president

Ill bet you think you live up to these expectations in strange and infuriating situations. I bet you are popular at mcdonalds

watch classic movies if you haven't seen them yet
gone with the wind
wizard of oz
cool hand luke

It's a slow moving overrated movie. It's not even artsy. Basically this movie is what TWD gets the inspiration for all the social drama from. Aragorns (i can't fucking remember his real name) play is better than in LotR, but all in all the acting is shit. I'm in for slower moving movies and artsy stuff, but this piece of shit was a fight for my life to get through. 2/10 thanks to the good scenery.

coolest kid on the short bus

boring, depressing, with poorly-defined and forgettable characters. it lacks almost every appealing thing about post-apocalyptic movies and stories.

it's a story of life during the trump presidency

i'm exaggerating i watched it back in 2013 and i could not stop thinking about movie for week but i dont want to see movie again

yes, which is why it's difficult to distinguish the two. they look like humans, talk like humans and act like humans.

the story doesn't really dig into the ethical consequences or the emotional drama this situation could cause. it just shows a guy hunting and fighting those androids and in the end there is a shitty twist that everyone could sense 30 minutes into the movie

now tell me: did i miss some lessons, intense thoughts or anything else important? i would like to know, maybe i'm not as intelligent as i thought

I agfee. McCarthys work does translate well to the screen. I hear they are still working on putting out Blood Meridian. That will be crazy.

Haha... reminds me of Mystic River. Great film, but you couldn't pay me to watch that depressingly awful shit again.

>blood meridian

Not who you are responding to but this is my favorite author and Blood Meridian was easily the most challenging thing I've ever read. I would love to see an adaptation of that on film

If you like a challenging read with some darkness to it, look into Joseph Conrad. Everyone should read Heart of Darkness.

last i heard vince donfrio was going to play the judge, dudes going to be typecast as hairless antagonists.

Holy fuck, he would be crazy as the Judge

Legit the father teaches the kid to kill himself

it's pretty depressing, specially if you have a kid like i do, but i think is a pretty watchable movie.

Nigga, either watch the movie or don't. You've spent more time deciding at this point then the length of the movie

Book's better
