Movie Pt. 1

November 22, 2016

The movie started out with all these bright colors and you were able to see the amount of love the mother and father shared between each other. Then when the father woke up in the middle of the night to the fire and power out, it was like all love was lost in a matter of minutes. I didn't realize that the boy was actually born during the time that the world ending began, I thought he was possibly a toddler who wouldn't remember a time of pre-world ending atmosphere. Once the fire started it was as though all color was lost, everything became gray and run down, even things that used to have color were lacking. The amount of despair that was on the son and father's faces when they awoke to the fire surrounding their came was unfathomable. So far I think that the movie is going along with the book pretty well, there are few variations, but if they followed the book completely it would be too long of a movie. I enjoy listening to the father's narration, you are able to tell that he is a very protective figure throughout the movie. He was very protective of his wife and cared for her in every way that he could. Then with the son he makes sure to protect his son no matter what the cost is. I think the saddest part so far in the movie is, is when the boy sees the people who hung themselves in the barn. His first reaction was that they were killed, but when the father told him that it was suicide it was like he knew that his father was right.
