I have never understood the expression "lonely as a dog".
I believe men are far lonelier.
The Rover is desolation. It's a silent and dusty post-apocalyptic painting.
An extremely raw road movie, in which Eric (Guy Pearce) travels the deserted roads of Australia to recover the car that was stolen from him by three poor devils.
Risking one's life for a damn fucking car. Killing for a heap of rusted metal.
The few survivors have nothing left and hold tight to the little that remains.
Rey the retard (Robert Pattinson), to find his brother, accompanies Eric on his journey. The two are together by force. They learn to know each other. But without feelings. It's just a journey through nothingness and death.
Men (meaning males) are beasts. They fight. They survive. They kill.
And nobody gives a damn if you've killed a person. This is the real end of humanity. Not the fact that you smashed a Christian's head, but the fact that no one will come to do anything to you.
When justice is gone, man is doomed.
A male film, in which only 3 women appear.
The first is a mother, who would like to give Eric a bit of love.
The second a doctor, who hides the few dogs left, to save them from the animalistic hunger of men.
The third a guide, who shows Eric and Rey the way to go.
It would be nice to finally set the dogs free.
Open the cages.
To be alone.
Alone like men.
