"A Boy and His Dog" was a great little subversive bit of storytelling. Ellison himself hates the movie, mostly because of that stupid last line. (He considered it a cheap shot.) But, most of it is really on target. Originally written and filmed in the radical 60's, the subtext is about how civilization is really just a sham. This was the "Road Warrior" universe, long before Max ever got behind the wheel. Only here, it was something more than just shoot 'em ups and car chases. Great scene, yes. Not sure if "I" would want to be that victim, but I suppose it would depend if I were doing FOR the right person or not.
