What happened that the world was all fucked up?

This, wh*te "people" be crazy yo

mass scale nuclear war, mccarthy consulted nuclear pysicists while writing the book

womens liberation

you'll find out soon

yup. Pretty good one too, McCarthy kicks ass

Intentionally left open-ended to create the setting. Don't think about it too much, the plot is based on the experiences of being in a literal hell-world.

Iv watched the movie multiple times as well as read the book so I have you covered.

based film. the scene in the bathroom where he has his son ready to shoot himself is one of the heaviest things i've had to watch. no man should ever have to go through this

just feel like only a truly exceptional director can capture mccarthy's work who I don't reckon the bloke behind the proposition (which is good) is

that's why I hope a blood meridian movie is never made don't need one of my favourite books getting associated with anything less than stellar

>“…the marchers appear four abreast. Dressed in clothing of every description, all wearing red scarves at their necks. Red or orange, as close to red as they could find. . . . He wallowed on the ground and lay watching across his forearm. An army in tennis shoes, tramping. Carrying three-foot lengths of pipe with leather wrappings. Lanyards at the wrist. Some of the pipes were threaded through with lengths of chain fitted at their ends with every manner of bludgeon. They clanked past, marching with a swaying gait like wind-up toys. Bearded, their breath smoking through their masks. Shh, he said. Shh. The phalanx following carried spears or lances tasseled with ribbons, the long blades hammered out of trucksprings in some crude forge upcountry. The boy lay with his face in his arms, terrified. They passed two hundred feet away, the ground shuddering lightly. Tramping. Behind them came wagons drawn by slaves in harness and piled with goods of war and after that the women, perhaps a dozen of them, some of them pregnant, and lastly a supplementary consort of catamites, illclothed against the cold and fitted in dogcollars and yoked each to each.”

should have put that in the movie

We're going to find out soon enough, thanks to Trump and Bolsonaro

mccarthy has such good prose

my favourite is
>A legion of horribles, hundreds in number, half naked or clad in costumes attic or biblical or wardrobed out of a fevered dream with the skins of animals and silk finery and pieces of uniform still tracked with the blood of prior owners, coats of slain dragoons, frogged and braided cavalry jackets, one in a stovepipe hat and one with an umbrella and one in white stockings and a bloodstained wedding veil and some in headgear or cranefeathers or rawhide helmets that bore the horns of bull or buffalo and one in a pigeontailed coat worn backwards and otherwise naked and one in the armor of a Spanish conquistador, the breastplate and pauldrons deeply dented with old blows of mace or sabre done in another country by men whose very bones were dust and many with their braids spliced up with the hair of other beasts until they trailed upon the ground and their horses' ears and tails worked with bits of brightly colored cloth and one whose horse's whole head was painted crimson red and all the horsemen's faces gaudy and grotesque with daubings like a company of mounted clowns, death hilarious, all howling in a barbarous tongue and riding down upon them like a horde from a hell more horrible yet than the brimstone land of Christian reckoning, screeching and yammering and clothed in smoke like those vaporous beings in regions beyond right knowing where the eye wanders and the lip jerks and drools.

That's a big sentence

>That's a big sentence
many words

It's actually a pretty decent adaptation.

>He ate the last of the eggs and wiped the plate with the tortilla and ate the tortilla and drank the last of the coffee and wiped his mouth and looked up and thanked her.

Haven't seen it , is it still worth it in 2019?

Not important it’s a father son story at its core

He also wrote No Country For Old Men

>dad and mom kept voicing concern that the boy would get raped if captured
why?

I loved the movie but i dont understand wtf happened to the wife? Why did she leave her family? It pissed me off.

Woah, thanks for the info, zoomer

And his best book, Blood Meridian

In the book she kills herself.
In the movie she was suicidal and it's implied she left to kill herself or just die from starvation.

Cringe. That book was a fucking snoozefest. Go read The Troop by Nick Cutter.

Spoken like a true zoomer, go play video games

aliens

>Yellowstone went off
Can't happen soon enough desu

Because they didn't want their son raped?

Was the end of the book hopeful like the film. I didn't like it when they found that ladybug, or whatever it was, showing that the Earth had turned a corner and could now support insect life and all that follows from that.

Neither based nor redpilled

imagine the smell

Harris won in 2020.

Yeah, but I think the book's was more symbolic. Something about carrying the flame or whatever.

Absolute fucking pleb.

do you guys ever wish that Viggo was your dad?

Idiocracy

These.

that was a dream sequence.

Papa, Who is favorite Rey?

A nuclear winter.

>HE WOKE IN THE MORNING AND TURNED OVER IN THE BLANKET and looked back down the road through the trees the way they’d come in time to see the marchers appear four abreast. Dressed in clothing of every description, all wearing red scarves at their necks. Red or orange, as close to red as they could find (...)
People with shitty reading comprehension should be lobotomized or forced into concentration camps so they can learn how to fucking read.

Watching this film kinda ruined the post-apocalyptic genre for me. After realizing that this is probably the most likely scenario, one devoid of any fun or adventure, I just couldn't enjoy the fallout/madmax kinda fiction. I guess it no longer seemed like entertaining escapism.

>good prose
He writes like an 8th grader with a thesaurus.

It’s notable that this is one of the few times that McCarthy’s world apes pop culture images of post-apocalypse—it makes one wonder whether the father is just imagining it all because he needs an enemy to be hiding from. The conversation following this appellation casts further doubt on its reality: In this exchange, I can hear the sounds of an indulgent, perhaps slightly fearful son, especially in that gratuitous “those bad guys.” Moreover, it’s been days since they two have eaten and the father himself admits the next night that “his head wasnt working right.”

Not that McCarthy is a master stylist, but you need to read at least 400 books, a minimum of 10 on literature criticism, before you can adequately describe an author's prose.

I’ve certainly read more than 400 books in my life, and McCarthy writes like an 8th grader with a thesaurus.

I was honestly annoyed that this specific scene wasn't in the movie.

>I loved the movie but i dont understand wtf happened to the wife? Why did she leave her family? It pissed me off.
They only had two bullets, so she walked out into the cold to die so the man and the boy could die more easily

IT'S NOT TRIVIAL!!!

>Was the end of the book hopeful like the film
None of the shit about the planet getting back to normal was in the book.

>two bullets
Boy, what a totally not-contrived predicament. Only two bullets. And in America of all places! What’re the odds!

IIRC correctly they find bullets at one point but wrong calbrie for gun they had

Cringed and bluepilled

>gratuitous "bad guys"
Not even the first or only time they refer to such people as bad guys. The kid is 8 or 10. It's an easy term.
>his head wasn't working right
That's in relation to how he almost left their fire die out and how slow he was in remembering what they had done with their things.
The night before he says that thing about his head and needing to concentrate, he woke up in the middle of the night because he heard trees breaking down (probably from the weight of the snow).
I honestly doubt he hallucinated either incident. The first one, because the kid can also see the marching group and they have a conversation. But when the trees are exploding in the middle of the night, all the boy sees is his father waking him up with a batshit look on his face. He asks him what is it, and all the man does is tell him let's go. If trees were exploding all around them, a curious child would probably be more specific and ask what are those loud crashing noises they're hearing all around them, but he doesn't.

Very common for 8th graders to mimic Hemingway, use a pseudo biblical style and develop their own (dumb) punctuation system. Sure thing.

>he thinks good films can get worse with time
user...

It made me question whether I’d eat a human.

Yea Forums incels decided to shoot everybody in the world

There is not a single word in that piece of prose that anyone with a >100IQ would have to look up
>muh thesaurus
I know being contrary is fun bud but you have school in the morning.

I would bet against Yellowstone because of the ship in the middle of the city.
Whatever it was, it happened outside of the US, to drag the ship inside. Is it present in the book?

My vote is on a Second American Civil War. It's honestly the most realistic apocalypse scenario.

McCarthy's punctuation is worse than the one of an average Facebook poster.

Watch The Day After, and then read about the US military going full freedom on the film makers on Wikipedia.

Theycan yea if there's been movies made ater that did it better. No point in watching a shitty old version of it. All the themes and such have been used in so much more by now. Pretty sure there's nothing uniquely groundbreaking to it.

Said the boy who wrote nothing

>people with guns fight people without guns
woah yeah real big war there bro

Awe, they let the chromosomal retards at the assisted living center get on the computers? Thats adorable!
Whats your idea of a good book, lil fella? maybe "The Hungry Caterpillar"?

Are you serious? The troop is total trash and Cutter is a pedo freak like Stephen King. There was like two pages dedicated to the one kid getting a boner while he killed a cat.
