children of men is pretty fucking alright.
immediately you know it is a classic, every character is amazing.
the future is a scary place if it is going to be like that. fil said if we were on the run during an uprising he would be holding cid like that immigrant lady was clutching her dog and he said he would knock him out to make him easier to deal with, probably the cuckooest shit fil has said lately. i offered well wouldn’t it be easier all around if you just set him free? nope. cid would have to be with him and with fil’s other hand he is holding my hand. this is an extremely practical way to avoid being shot i think.
that art scene is great, and the pink floyd floating pig and how the majority of the film clive owen is owning flip flops. it’s a chase thriller, and there are a ton of supes stressful parts shot in one take, very neat. michael caine is a pothead conspiracy-theorist living in the woods in the most amazing house ever, you will love it/him.
i thought clive owen’s character, theo, made being depressed, moody, and dis-enchanted pretty glamorous, totally swayed me, yeah.
i didn’t like the end it was sad and a bit cop-out, there could be a sequel yet the majority of the characters die so then what? it is not one of those sequel-type movies unfortunately.
watch the special features, they are important and special, and brilliant. we didn’t watch the first one about hope entirely cos fil got stressed, same reason we haven’t watched an inconvenient truth yet.
