Robert De Niro plays LaMotta, a man tormented by demons he doesn't understand and prone to uncontrollably violent temper tantrums and fits of irrational jealousy.  Would you recommend the film to My Cultural Life readers?  Please leave your thoughts and comments on the following page...   Lou Lainton Mon, 27 Aug 2007 00:00:00 BST http://www.myculturallifemagazine.co.uk/blogs/14/Discussion-Thoughts-on-Cormac-MacCarthys-The-Road.html 'A father and his son walk alone through burned America, heading through the ravaged landscape to the coast. This is the profoundly moving story of their journey. Cormac MacCarthy's "The Road" boldly imagines a future in which no hope remains, but in which two people, 'each the other's world entire', are sustained by love. Awesome in the totality of its vision, it is an unflinching meditation on the worst and the best that we are capable of: ultimate destructiveness, desperate tenacity, and the tenderness that keeps two people alive in the face of total devastation.'Would you recommend the book to My Cultural Life readers?  Please leave your thoughts and commments on the following page...
