Watch The Road on Carrera 7

Possibly filmed in Bogota around this time of year, the film based on the novel, The Road, adequately captures the setting and overall feel of the refugees. Now that I stop to ponder, while reading the novel and before watching the film, I used many images of Bogota to construct, in my imagination, the post-apocalyptic world described in the story. My imagination was perfectly equipped with a repertoire of bleak environments: Hail, smog, rain, you name it... all except depressing snow. Of the two places in which I have lived, both are seasoon-deprived, and one comes with the complementary addition of a post-apocalyptic climate on the side. Of the times I have travelled to snowy places, the cold powder has only instilled awe and a sense of beauty within me, and never have I seen more than a driveway or two full of dirty snow (other than in NY, but that's beside the point). In conclusion, if you are writing a book or filming a movie about a destroyed world where people eat each other, starve to death, or freeze to death (no third option, by the way), Bogota is the best place to be.
