Charlize Theron's performance as the Mother in The Road captured the hopelessness of humanity once the world began to tear itself apart. The difference between the version from the book and the movie is the way she is remembered. In the movie, the audience is given necessary context through flashbacks, moments before the apocalypsealong with the Fa...
One of the hardest scenes to watch from the cinematic adaption of The Roadis the pistol use instruction scene. The Father knows that if they're caught by cannibals or marauders, they'll suffer every minute which is why he teaches the boy how to kill himself. With one bullet left in the chamber, the Father knows he'll use it on his son to spare him ...
The death of the Father was heartbreaking in the book. The movie made it borderline unbearable to watch. After taking an arrow to the leg, the Father's leg becomes infected and he continues to bleed out until his inevitable death. This is also on top of his respiratory illness, depicted through bloody coughing fits throughout the story. In the book...
One element of McCarthy's story that separates itself from others is its purposeful lack of detail. The idea of the apocalypseis terrifying in itself, the rest is left up to the viewer with the narration from the story only guiding the reader along.

The marauders/cannibals are an unforgiving and vicious band of mindless monsters, enslaving men, women, and children as a means to survive.

One scene discluded from the movie adaption is the boat scene which resulted in the Father finding the flare gun (which would come in handy later). The scene itself isn't integral to the plot but still noticeable for avid readers of the book. John Hillcoat and Joe Penhall, the two directors of the movie, deemed the scene unnecessary and instead mov...
Cormac McCarthy's world after the apocalypse is a barren wasteland of burning trees, with sunlight hidden above the infinite layers of ash and soot. Director John Hillcoat did an amazing job ensuring McCarthy's vision came to fruition.

Just by the title of this alone, you can understand how dark the world is in The Road. This scene was omitted from the film simply because of how twisted and horrible it was. In the book, the Father and Son hear a woman give birth to a newborn with two men helping her. RELATED: 5 Best Sci-Fi Books Made Into Movies (& 5 We Wish Would Happen) In the ...
Cormac McCarthy relies on dialogue for plot progression and character development, with the latter being the heart and soul of the book. The conversations between the Father and Son reveal the last glimpses of humanity, hence the recurring phrase between the two: carrying the fire (inside of us). With this, director John Hillcoat did everything in ...
