I just saw this film, and I was really impressed by it. It's quite depressing but also really beautiful. Anyone else saw it? and how do you think about it??



p.s. I miss my clanforum where I can create my own moviethread again :P

Awesome movie. As a father it really gets you. Plus Viggo is just awesome in everything he does. If you haven't seen "The History of Violence" and "Eastern Promises", I highly recommend both of those.

The book is excellent. Cormac McCarthy (the author) has a unique writing style. The story is dark, bleak and is suppose to be depressing with an underlying message. The movie was good as well..they go well together (almost like a companion piece). Unlike No Country for Old Men. That movie was 100 times better than the book. In fact, I read the book and couldn't understand it. (it is written by the same author. Skip the book and go straight for the movie).

Watched each of these movies 2 times. They're all excellent, and Viggo is really really good!

The book is great, and the film paints a bleak captivating narrative. Its well done in both sense. Yes Ami I love Eastern Promises and History of Violence both good movies!

The book for the road was terrible. I get that he's trying to paint a bleak picture, but good god it was tedious to read..

It's for that reason I haven't seen the film. I heard mixed reviews on it. I'll wait for it to be shown on t.v

On a side note, Eastern promises was excellent. I've been a fan of Vincent Cassel since La Haine and Irreversible (although I'll never go near a fire extinguisher ever again!)

I read the book after Col Hackworth recommended it on my clan forum.

It is without doubt depressing and bleak but also a monumental achievement. One of those few book I read non stop until it was finished. On the train, at mealtimes, until I fell asleep at night.

Never bothered with the film as, apart from 'One Flew Over the Cuckoo's Nest', I've never seen a film that is better than the book upon which it was based and I didn't want to spoil the memory.

I'd also recommend another Cormac McCarthy book. Blood Meridian. It's a story based on the colonisation of the American Great Plains and the character of the men who accomplished it.

:o I thought about this movie a few days ago, weird.

Never watched it since it got some really "meh" reviews, but it always looked interesting to me. Might try watching it. :)
