Is that really a reasonable fear to have in a post-apocalyptic setting?
Constantly worried about his son getting captured and gangraped
Probably.
I still have no idea where the hell they were going or what they were going to do when they get there
>or what they were going to do when they get there
Find something new to strive for. To be human is to constantly seek comfort while never finding it.
The film had gangs of cannibals, probably also worried about getting eaten.
Post-apocalyptic movies with a non-idealized setting sometimes mention cannibalism, for instance The Survivalist
Neither did the man, he just had to keep going somehow for his son.
Prime boi pucci is a prized commodity even today user
I mean in reality once society collapsed, people would probably start doing fucked up shit like that. Honestly, this movie feels way more grounded in reality than any other post apocalypse movie or show I’ve seen.

yes
>Rodney Hulin Jr. (March 2, 1978 – May 9, 1996) committed suicide by hanging in the Clemens Unit in unincorporated Brazoria County, Texas (Greater Houston) on January 26, 1996 after being raped in prison; Hulin died months after he fatally injured himself. Hulin became a symbol of a movement that advocated not placing juvenile offenders in adult institutions.
>In November 1995, Hulin was transferred to the Clemens Unit in unincorporated Brazoria County, Texas. He reported being raped by fellow inmates around his age after his transfer to a division for younger offenders in the Clemens Unit. On November 17, 1995, a prison doctor examined Hulin for signs of rape; Hulin told the doctor that he had been forced to perform oral sex and then was forced to receive anal penetration. The medical documents stated that Hulin had two "vertical tears" in his rectum. The physician recommended an HIV test, which produced a negative result. Hulin's father stated that Hulin weighed 125 pounds (57 kg) and was 5 feet 2 inches (1.57 m) tall.
The man’s goal and sole thing giving him purpose in his life was taking care of his kid and keeping him safe after his wife died. The kid just doesn’t want to die. They don’t have to be going anywhere. It’s pretty established how hopeless their situation really is.
north winter kept getting worse due to lack of sun and stuff. they were just moving southwards hoping the weather wouldn't be as horrible there for better chances of survival
fun fact: this was the second movie in which Vigo showed off those juicy balls of his (the other being "Eastern Promises"). I heard in an interview he refused to be in both movies unless he was allowed to show them from the back like this.
well, it made sense in Eastern Promises. somehow the nudity makes every hit feel harder
Let alone the slashes
literally irrelevant
>refusing to be in a movie unless your balls are aesthetically presented and documented for the world
hello, based department? our lines are jammed at the moment.
Also imagine all the mushrooms and fungi from the disgusting bathhouse floor that are colonizing his hog as he rolls around. I think that makes me wince more than the slashing kukri knives.
>worried about his son
Isn't the movie just one big metaphor and not meant to be literal?
and that selfish cunt wanted it all for himself
It isn't, Settlement is the basis of civilization. You have to be somewhere and to belong in a group, otherwise you can't accumulate resources, both literal and social.
For what?
The kid wanted to see the ocean in person for the first time.
Are you telling me I'm wasting my time hoarding gold and instead I should go build twink boy equity?
They are in a close to 0 hope scenario. He is going south and trying to find a safer place to be just because he heard that there might be such a place, because what else was there to be done anyway.
no mention of how he got there tho
Idk. I feel like a post-apocalyptic world would be pretty similar to tribal values, which is just land/food/women.
Within about 2 day cycles every stepdad on the planet would be balls deep
What dose that matter? Prison was the agreed upon punishment for his crimes, no where in US law is a crime punishable by rape.
that makes you an actore
>constantly worried about his son getting captured and gangraped
Many people in culturally enriched parts of Europe share that fear.
>hear things are good to the south
>not going north instead
yeah, if people are the problem i'm going away from where the people are. i don't mind the winter
just saying, probably shouldn't be flinging bottles of fire around if you don't want your asshole split three ways
McCarthy had recently had a son and was worried his son would have to live his life in a hellscape
I can't find it, but I remember reading an account from a guy who lived through the Siege of Sarajevo in the 1990s where the city was basically cut off from the outside world for over a year and it was everyman for themselves chaos and he said it pretty much devolved into family and friend networks setting up barricades around their homes to protect against roving gangs and women selling sex for a couple of AA batteries or a bag of flour.
