Well. actually, some people were able to focus on what was important about the film. Not evrybody makes or goes to postapocalyptic films for the entertainment value. I'm sorry if you or anyone else missed the point(s) of this one, but there you are. Some films just aren't as simplistic as others, and this is one of the ones you need to think about. I'm not saying it's stupid to get it wrong, just that this isn't the film for those who can only focus on the cause. When you think about it, what does it matter?
You get all you need to know in the first few minutes, in the voiceover, and as the film continues you are aware that this is not likely to have a happy ending. But of course thoe of us who knew the book -- Pulitzer winner a few years ago -- and the author's other work knew what kind of mood and themes to expect.
