Children of Men

Wow
What a film. Truly unbelievable.
I almost can't put it into words, but it was definately one of the best movies I have seen in years.

Ok I just saw this movie and I was STUNNED.


This movie is just positivly amazing, the cinemotagraphy is outstanding, and the way they take the viewer into the Dystopia of a not-to-far-off Great Britian is nothing short of genius.

The combat in this movie is frikin Crazy! It was the coolist most terrifying and horrible thing I've ever seen in a theater. There was a 5-7 minute long take that just followed the Hero in the most amazing shot of combat I have ever seen.

But that by far is not the best part of the movie.



It was just an amazing and touching scene when Theo and the girl (who's name eludes me) have the baby, and there walking down the stairs of this biulding which has just been underfire, and everyone stops and are stunned by the sight of this child. They pass members of an anti-government group trying to effect and uprising as they go down, and soon run into soldiers who immediatly stop firing. Some get down on there knees and make the sign of the cross and others are just to stunned to do anything.

Just seeing how everything stopped in the middle of this raging gunfight was just the most amazing thing I've ever seen in a movie.

But you have to see it to know what I'm talking about.

I've heard good things about this, and I want to see it. I just need to find some time to get out there...

Yea a great movie. It feels amazingly real. The violence is gritty, chaotic and realistic. It's definitely one of the best movies of 2006.

The only annoying thing in the movie is that girls (Caribbean?) accent, it sounds sooo arrogant.

That one fighting scene though was crazy.

I mean for like 5 minutes they followed Theo without changing the take. And then the audio effects and just how they did the combat scenes was crazy.

Great film, the long-takes really give it a more realistic feel.
