"The Road" is one of those movies I've found myself thinking about the
next day after I've seen. This even after having read the book last
spring. The story is obviously an allegory but I can't go into that
without presenting spoilers. Though one can imagine it could be a gross
movie like one of the "torture porn" films it isn't. It doesn't dwell
on scenes (about cannibalism) like that you could imagine if you read
the book. This may well be the movie that sweeps awards this year.
Sort of like the little movie I saw last year at this time in the same
theater. It was called "Slumdog Millionaire."
