How the opening scene of The Road is alike the movie the book of Eli?

As you could have figured out, The Road is a post apocalyptic novel where the main character is not presented in the begging. ( is only presented as a he or the man )

Watch the following:

Do you see any similarities, any differences (except for the kid, please, and try to focus on the environment.) the description of the landscape is really similar to the one on the video, and in the movie they also travel to the coast.

These are the quotes that, I think, resemble the clip:

"Nights beyond darkness and the days more gray each one what had gone before." (p.3)

Look at the clip's sky man, it looks like an apathetic's room!!!

"Barren, sightless, godless." (p.4)

The dead man with the gun fits to "godless" and the place looks pretty deserted.

"The soft ash blowing in loose swirls over the Blacktop" (p.4)

Ash snowing, dah (clearly seen on the clip.)
