Finally, why are trees continually falling over? Even totally rotten trees will remain standing for ages.




I have yet to see the film (it never played in my town) but the book gives some clues. And I say clues because he keeps the 'what happened' vague on purpose. I'll have to watch the film and see what they've done.

The canned goods (and people) were once plentiful, according to the story, and this story is many years later after the crazier survivors have seriously diminished everyone's numbers. I can't be sure about the trees w/o seeing how they looked in the film.

Glad to hear that it's more coherent than I thought. I got it into my head that the disaster was not that long ago, perhaps while the Boy was in the womb. Wish I'd read the book first, but I will do as soon as I get the chance.
