The Virgin Suicides for me. I bought it last week and haven’t been able to work up the gumption to watch it yet. Maybe tonight.

The Road
The only truly realistic post-apocalyptic movie.
There is no hope. There is no humanity pulling together in times of crisis.
Just one man trying to keep his son and himself alive for another day, after losing everything else.
Maybe I just didn’t give it enough of a chance, but I really just didn’t get this film honestly. For me it just felt like a sort of ‘depression porn’ without really much substance to it.
It is absolutely depression porn.
The movie is an adaptation of the book by Cormac McCarthy. The book won the Pulitzer and the James Tait Memorial Prize.
“Depression Porn without substance” is a funny way to characterize the movie.
I’m very aware! I mean it when I say I really don’t get it lol.
Have you seen some of the other film adaptations?
All the Pretty Horses
No Country for Old Men
The Counselor
Child of God
I’ve seen No Country for Old Men, unfortunately nothing else from your list. I did enjoy that one.
