Document Summary
Human relationship to nature as well as to each other. Our relationship to nature has been in separation. One of the overriding theme: death is always inevitable and present, but clearly not welcoming. Father and son make to warmer climates, becomes increasingly clear that father couldn"t make it (survive) Last several pages of book provide a pivotal narrative/dialogue between father and son. About what is to come after the father"s death. We see in the movie that another family (a man with his wife and children) We have an embrace between the woman and the boy. We have desolant landscape, no food, constant rain and snow and wildfires. Only humans to be seen are animals that cannot be controlled and resort to cannibalism. Ending: there"s no destination/ no goal to achieve. Ending is a reminder of what we lost. We have this notion where we think we can fix anything, but there are some things that cannot.
