The Road (2009)

I decided that it’s a guy thing, just like the much-praised, stupid Field of Dreams, ’cause, quoting Morales in A Chorus Line, I feel nothing.
I’m not saying it’s not good (plus some of the shots are spectacular); I simply felt nothing toward this father and son thing. I wasn’t shocked by what the movie portrayed, and I wasn’t touched. I can imagine some, if not most, guys feel the same way toward films touch upon female identity recognition issue and etc.
Men and their fathers… it’s taking care and depending on each other, it’s passing down the legacy, it’s a power struggle. It’s complicated.

absolulte agree on the power struggle. it won’t happen on fathers and daughters nor mothers and sons. mothers and daughters..sometimes but not often. fathers and sons. definitely.
i try to watch field of dreams in HBO awhile ago. several attempts but fail. i guess it’s like tom hanks quoted god father in ‘you ‘ve got mail’ and meg ryan did not get it.
