The Road

Watched The Road Fri night. It was a very well done movie and superbly acted by Viggo Mortensen. And it was also very disturbing containing many very heavy, mature themes. It is a very dark movie that had some very surprising spiritual elements. Discussion of God is woven in throughout the movie. It could easily be a platform from which to bring discussion of evil, and free will gone awry and God’s influence in the world…into a public forum. As such I think the movie is very worth seeing. But, it’s really not light fare. It reminded me a great deal of Schindler’s List (from the dark, foreboding feel of the movie). Really, if you want deep without all the dark, I would recommend The Fantastic Mr. Fox instead.

I enjoyed this movie as well Rich. I “chewed” on it for a couple of days.
