Comments on: Esquire Paints Dark, Beautiful Picture of John Hillcoat’s ‘The Road’ http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/esquire-paints-dark-beautiful-picture-of-john-hillcoats-the-road.php A Website About Movies Tue, 14 Feb 2012 06:57:41 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Cole_Abaius http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/news/esquire-paints-dark-beautiful-picture-of-john-hillcoats-the-road.php/comment-page-1#comment-140090 Cole_Abaius Wed, 13 May 2009 22:22:18 +0000 http://www.filmschoolrejects.com/?p=42650#comment-140090 The only concern I have is that the movie maintain the tone of the book concerning the blameless sort of nature about the end of the world. The book doesn't point a finger or try to get preachy about mankind destroying the planet. It does right to focus on the personal story of a young man instead. If the movie adds some sort of element meant to make me feel bad about not recycling, it'll ruin it for me.

I guess you think that in a post-apocalyptic future we would probably have someone like Mel Gibson driving the last of the V 8's into a bunch of leather clad, Mohawk wearing bikers. Yeah, that sounds just about right.

I can't believe they are making a movie out of it. If this book was written by a first time author it would have been bashed to hell for it's shitty writing style, lack of detail, and general lack of story. But no, it was praised for being a giant pile of shit. Like an artist who leaves the canvas blank, McCarthy is referred to as a genius for his "vision" when in fact he did something so goddamn crappy and lazy. McCarthy wrote a shitty story in a shitty way then got praise out of the ass for it. Boy and Man walk. Boy and Man hide. Boy and Man walk some more. Boy and Man hide some more. There. Now I wrote a story just as good as his. Where is my Pulitzer and million bucks? I could hardly make it through this book. I can't believe they are making a movie out of it.
