The Road

Just finished watching this film, with Viggo Mortensen. It came out in 2009, great reviews and critically acclaimed.
It's a film about human nature. In fact, the characters have no name, they are just "Boy", "Man". etc. It is a story of survival of one Man and his young child during post apocalyptic times, when some humans turned to cannibalism. It is a perfectly crafted story, with perfect highs and lows, but most of all it really pin points some basic human needs and fears : love, fear of abandonment, hunger, all to the end of survival.
I found myself thinking about it, and replaying a few scenes in my mind. It strikes a chord with me. It makes sense.
