The Road

One of the most chillingly effective visions of the world’s end ever put on screen — and a heart-rending study of parenthood, to boot.

...en døende verden set gennem en far og hans søn, der er på en sandsynligvis håbløs rejse på tværs af kontinentet på jagt efter det håb, som ikke findes.

Mortensen, viewed either as a patriarchal Christ figure or simply as a devoted father, works minor miracles in what is essentially a one-note role.

I am not sure the characters could be played better, or differently. Viggo Mortensen portrays The Man as dogged and stubborn, determined to protect his boy.
