O Menino e seu Cachorro

First off... To the guy who said that this movie doesn't say anything.. Please try to use more than 1 percent of your brain cells next time you analyze a movie. To those who think that the writer of this story, Harlan Ellison, intended on being anti woman in his creation of the final scene, you need to re-examine the story's real meaning. The movie (and especially the original story) is making a strong statement about the meaning of love. Love is honest. Love is survival. Vic probably makes the most mature decision in his entire life by choosing the dog over the woman. He needed to choose the dog over all else in order to have a future in that harshest of all worlds. He chooses life over temporary sexual pleasure. Vic was never in love with Quilla June. In the world of "A Boy and His Dog" a Vic and Quilla June relationship was destined to fail for many obvious reasons.

Nevertheless, the original story does a much better job of exploring Vic's ambivalence in making the final decision. It is true that Ellison's original novella is a masterpiece. Thanks for listening.
