I think it’s fair to say The Road isn’t the most optimistic movie made over the past few years. It’s certainly thought provoking about life in a post-apocalyptic future. I viewed it as a learning experience which could save me a lot of time, unpleasantness and limbs in the event of an apocalypse. Here are some important lessons I learned from watching this movie.
- NAMA is a waste of time and money.
- Nobody bothers to look behind them in a post-apocalyptic future
- You won’t need to describe anything as “bleak”. It’s a given!
- There’s a light somewhere that needs to be “kept alive”. It’s unclear whether it’s battery or mains operated.
- Coke will finally win its long battle with Pepsi for cola supremacy. It’s not so much “The Real Thing” as the “Only Thing” if you want to quench your post-apocalyptic thirst
