I wonder, in an apocalyptic wasteland would I turn to a primal being with savage instincts, or stand steadfast in keeping my humanity and scavenge for basic neccesities to survive, or simply choose to end my life. The depravity of the cannibalists in The Road, the callousness required to survive, I'm quite sure I will not forget. Survival instincts drive men to ends they might never have thought of. So, perhaps, the decision I consciously make now will probably be different from the one my sub-conscious self makes in a dying world.
Watching the father-son bond broken as the father died was heart breaking.
I've been inundating myself with the make believe world of films. It's time to get back to the books.
