Legless_Marine commented on Trailer for movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road
Anonymous: "The book made no mention of why the world had been destroyed." In the book, Nuclear war was alluded to in the flashbacks: - Reference to multiple flashes and booms over the horizon nuclear explosions. - A further reference to the protagonist reacting to these booms by "Filling the bathtub with water" - A recommended emergency response in case of nukes falling. As for the movie: The book was depressing enough. I did not know it was possible to write words that could evoke such misery in the reader. While the author probably deserves a literary award, I definitely...
starfish and coffee commented on Trailer for movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road
I'm watching the trailer on youtube and... is that a product placement? The kid is really excited about a coke can it seems. I think I vaguely remember this being in the book mind you, but still... a bit bad taste perhaps....

strumpet windsock commented on Trailer for movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road
Not to be a stickler; I know the story is allegorical (and I found it quite powerful - enjoy is hardly appropriate), but I did note one big technical flaw. Forget the rickets that the father was worried about when he was hunting for vitamins. If people really had no fresh veggies or raw animal (not human) meat to survive on they would have been long dead from scurvy. http://www.blupete.com/Hist/Gloss/Scurvy.htm Champlain's account doesn't mention the nervous effects - some victims went into convulsions and died at the sound of a loud noise or gunshot. But that and having your gums...
strumpet windsock commented on Trailer for movie adaptation of Cormac McCarthy's The Road
...actually I just double-checked Liebowitz and realized they were heading for colonies that already existed. Oops. I did note one mention in The Road of a bit of living vegetation, and I wondered what the creature they saw at the beginning of the book was. Again, I don't want to take away from the allegorical nature of the story, but one would think at least there would be lots and lots of insects to eat, especially with their predators gone....
