A Boy and his Dog



Although I concider 'A Boy and his Dog' to be a post apocolypse film instead of a true dystopia there are lots of things I really like about the film.

The Best
The boy - Almost instantly the main character is introduced to you and you quickly become that his is after one thing, women. Within the first few minutes he comes accross a woman whe was murdered and complains about how he couldnt have sex with her. Before long the boy tries to rape a girl and you find out he has done it before. It seems odd to be able to empathise with a juvinile rapest but within the context of the film it all makes sense and doesnt seem as bad.... I guess. Also the very end of the film when he kills and eats the female lead is truely shocking!
The dog - The boy and the dog spend alot of time talking to each other. No one else can hear it, at times you think the boy is mad but others it seems they are warning each other to danger? I like the ambiguity to if the boy is crazy or not.
The vault - The huge council run underground city where everyone is forced obey the rules otherwise they are murdered and it is covered up. also when they capture the boy and plug him into a big fertilisation machine to drain his seed and impregnate the women is a great scene.

The good
The robot henchman
The paranormal screamers

The bad
There was not a single thing I could fault with the film!
