Went to see 'The Road' this weekend. I had read the book and found it to be one of the best that i have read. It flows so well and you never want to put it down. I have been waiting or the movie to come out ever since I heard it was getting made (about a year ago or something). I saw that it would star Viggo Mortensen who is one of my favourite actors if not the favourite.
I went into the movie not expecting it to deliver on the level of the book as very rarely a film can actually capture the essence of a book and normally leaves the viewer disappointed. Soon as the first few scenes played I was hooked. Not one part of the film allows your mind to wander. It keeps you gripped and focussed throughout the whole movie. I would say that it definitely captures the essence of the book and I would say captures it so well that I would find it hard to say one is better than the other.
Anyway all I'm saying is that if you were thinking of going to see the film then i would highly recommend it and also to read the book. I think actually having read the book first makes the viewing experience even better as you can experience the great words on the pages become great visual scenes on the screen.
Go See It!
