Viggo Mortensen and 12 year old Kodi Smit-McPhee (where do the Australians get all of these great young actors?) both deserve Oscar nods, IMO. In fact, I’d also give an Oscar nod to Robert Duvall for his brief but powerful performance as ‘the old man’. The cinematography is outstanding and the environment that they created is devastatingly realistic.

This is an important film that deserves to be nominated for Best Picture of the year. If this film doesn’t inspire both politicians andcitizens to do whatever is necessary to protect our planet’s precious environment in order to enhance human survival and the rest of the species on our world– then I just don’t know what will!
