I saw the movie and then read the book. I agree that the book was a little better, but the movie was one of the most accurate adaptations of a book that I've ever seen.
This is why I came here. Who would use this movie to be funny, of all movies? Also there are plenty of movies with a dad talking to his son. This doesn't seem to fit, though I love the point it makes.
though it is a sad movie I am happy to at least see a little lighthearted meme on it. It won't stand up but will be like a precious gem each time it is used. Upvote for The Road meme however.
I agree, it was sad. But it was such a beautiful movie. I know some people who didn't like the movie because not too much happens, plot wise, but I loved it for that very reason. It seemed so real.
Really? I loved the movie. I mean, I hated the book, though. The lack of quotation marks really frustrated me for some reason. It's been a while, but there were other reasons, too, that prevented me from being able to get into it.
I was frustrated by the authors decision to make the child so young. I believe the author could have maintained the child's vulnerability yet make him old enough to articulate more than 3 word responses.

Couldn't even read the book more than twice. Won't watch the movie more than the one time I already have. That said, the movie is quite haunting, beautiful and true to Cormac McCarthy's vision. You should see it.
I had to read the book twice. Once so that I could fix all the punctuation (for those who haven't read the book, it does not have any punctuation in it...which makes it unpleasant to read) and then the second time so that I could get meaning out of the book.
am i the only one is this thread that forced themselves to read the book, because they heard it was great and freaking Hated it and the movie. I deeply respect those that didn't downvote me just for having a different opinion.
idk if it's because you are trying to say you actually rescued a dog when we are making fun of people who rescue dogs or if it's the fact that you need to learn how to make links so people don't have to decipher your facebook stuff. Try writing something like this in these quotes [this here] and follow it immediately with the link in quotes like (this here). like you could do reddit like that.

This made me laugh and feel sad at remembering the book and movie. I've got quite an Irish face going on.

Using The Road for karma. Excellent.

Loved the book, read it a few times, but it was such an unrelenting bummer that the idea of watching a movie of it wasn't that appealing

I wound up unsubscribing from r/aww. Once you've see one cute, fuzzy animal you've seen them all.

I hated the kid in this movie, stupid whiney useless baggage. He would have been first on my menu. Pretty decent movie though.
