Talk:Road, The

Is this article solely about firearms in the movie adaption?

Or may we mention elements of the novel as well? 58.7.224.121 13:32, 13 December 2010 (UTC)

Is this based off of the Cormac McCarthy book?-S&Wshooter 22:22, 19 August 2009 (UTC)

Yes it is. The guy won a Pulitzer Prize for the book.

The page has all the images I could grab from the movie; most of it needs identification, however. If you've got a positive ID on anything in the page, give it a shot. -ZeoRanger5 01:18, 5 June 2010 (UTC)

This looks depressing as hell.

It's very depressing. --Jcordell 21:23, 10 August 2010 (UTC)

Yeah it's an excellent film, but at the same time by the 1 hour mark I was ready to take their suicide pistol and turn it on myself. -Nyles

That's kind of the whole point of both the book and the movie, in a way. Unlike most post-apoc fiction which takes the Mad Max approach, this film is intended to be dreary and depressing in its depiction of a planet and human race that's truly dying. Spartan198 (talk) 17:32, 25 August 2016 (EDT)

If you're up for this kind of "Dying Earth" film genre, go watch The Day After or Threads (the British version of the former, so depressing it was never aired more than once on British television). Unlike The Road those two films explicitly deal with nuclear war. No "Mad Max" atmosphere in those films at all.--Mazryonh (talk) 23:17, 27 August 2016 (EDT)

Spares

The Father: You point up, then just pull the trigger.
In a chilling scene, The Father demonstrates to his son how to quickly commit suicide with the pistol.

The Father rescues his son from a cannibal who tried to take him at knifepoint.

Rather than let his son be eaten by cannibals in a house the two of them tried to take shelter in, The Father prepares to do the unthinkable as he hears the cannibals approach his hiding place.

Cannibal's Rifle

The Rifle the cannibal in the ski mask is using doesn't look like a Ruger 77 but a Remington 7400 of 760 can anyone Confirm?--Balin21 (talk) 18:12, 28 August 2016 (EDT)
