![]() Don’t hate me, but I actually haven’t seen the original Mad Max movies so that is why I am specifically mentioning Fury Road). (Aside from Mad Max Fury Road which is absolutely fantastic. This might come down to personal preference though because apocalyptic stories don’t tend to be genre I am drawn to. I didn’t find this book as engaging as I had hoped and my mind would often start to wander as I read. In the end, the man dies and the boy is found by another man, his wife and their two kids and it ends from there. Very dog eat dog, because what food you share with others, is food you won’t have for yourself. Even so, this is a world where you cannot trust others and the man has become especially wary and doesn’t believe there are any “good guys” left. The man and son are “the good guys” because they don’t eat people. ![]() We have a man and his son (whose names are never given) living in a post apocalyptic world where it is crazy cold and there are no animals or plants and a lot of the remaining humans have resorted to cannibalism to stay alive. With directly visualize scenes and the support of the sound effect, the reader can feel the gloomy and hopeless of the world, and the dangerous the father and the son are in.The Road directed by John Hillcoat (2009) Summary With lots of amounts of flashback which gives the reader more information and more understanding about the story, it let the reader get to feel more about the story. In conclusion, I think that the film did a better job for interpretation of the story of “The Road”. With visualizing and sounding, the film can express the scene better than the novel does since the reader can just watch the setting and gloomy background and feel the mood. With the sound effect, the reader can feel the emotion of how the father and boy are feeling, and how they were serving not only in harsh condition but also in a dangerous condition. The sound which helps the reader understand more about the dangerousness may be the sound of people screaming and running when cannibals were hunting them. This lets the reader feel how hopeless the father and the son is, and how there is no more hope about the world. For example, the landscape can be depicted with dark color, since the world has fallen, and the sky may be gray. In the story, the landscape can be shown visualize to the reader, and the sound can be helped to express the mood of the scene. For example, the film includes the vision for the landscape, and how the sky is mostly dark. Secondly, the film includes more imagery and visualize, which made the reader know more about the setting and background of the story. ![]() Even though the movie didn’t show how the mother suicide, but it still gives more detailed information about the mother than the novel did, which shows how the film expresses the feeling and emotion better than the novel does. With flashback with visualizing, I think it gives the reader a better understanding of both physical and mental characteristic for the character in the story. One scene that is different from the film and novel is that in the film, the mother just walks away and suicide and die, while in the novel, the author describe the scene about how the mother suicide brutally. This not only let us know the mother more but also let us know the pain father feels from losing a wife. For example, in the novel, the mother is rarely mentioned two times and is not clearly introduced to the reader about the mother, but in the film, the mother appears in the flashback for lots of time. The film made the expression more clear by adding lots of flashbacks, which make the reader feel better about what the father is thinking about deep in his mind. For the film, I think it expresses the feeling and emotion better than the novel does.
