Gareth von Kallenbach (980 KP) rated The Road (2009) in Movies
Aug 8, 2019
The echoed use of color takes the viewer directly into the unnamed devastation that riddles the world of our two heroes. Moreover, the small sounds from the creeks of not quite abandoned buildings to the harrowing screams of cannibal victims make the world of “the Road” wholly engrossing. Maybe that is the problem.
Riddled with themes of devastation, survival, faith, and family, “The Road” is a piece of cinema significantly different from anything else. With all that said I am not sure this was a horrific and arduous journey one needs to go through.
After I first saw it I didn’t like “The Road”, and I couldn’t figure out who would want to watch this film. Too mature for many audiences and appearing to lack the complication to appeal to intellectual film crowd, it took a few days for me to develop the merit of the film. Now, I can’t stop thinking about the string of moments presented as powerful small scenes that compose “The Road” even though I wish I could.
If you have read the book, then “The Road” delivers a vivid understanding of the story, but before paying to see the film I ask you, is that a story you really want to experience on screen?

Leanne Crabtree (480 KP) rated Amy & Roger's Epic Detour in Books
Jan 6, 2021
I liked the road-trip aspect and their diversion from Amy's mums plan for them. I liked their gentle roll into something more than friendship. I liked a lot of the people they met on their detour.
What I wasn't so keen on was the ending. I like a definite HEA and I'm sure they'll meet up again but it wasn't a certain thing and that's a big "Hmm..." point for me which is why I've marked it down a quarter star because other than that I enjoyed their story.
I may even have to make a "road-trip" shelf and search out more books.
I was so involved in the road-trip and the little pictures shown throughout the story that I actually stalked their journey using google maps.
