This is a story that rips your heart right out of your chest. The cinematography is exeptional and it is well acted. It is worth your time.
so so good
Too bad the plot is boring and there's no character development.
@@Christobanistan Try harder?
@@dallesamllhals9161 But I'm already trying as hard as I can!
@@ChristobanistanMaybe the latest “Flash” movie is more your speed… or video games. This is a film where you need some empathy and imagination.
This is one of those movies where the beginning is a slow-burn, but once it starts it just takes and takes and takes from Theo. This one will stay with you forever. One of the best movies of this century.
The overall reception to this movie has always baffled me. It is a masterpiece, the cream of the crop of 2000s films with There Will Be Blood and No Country for Old Men but has never gotten the praise that many movies of the era have garnered. It was a really wonderful decade of film, with tons of classic movies like O Brother Where are Thou and Shaun of the Dead emerging, but I've always felt like Children of Men is underappreciated.
@@rasicomega Damn, you just listed all my top movies from that period of few years. Now I don't even remember the last movie I've seen that could compare to those ones.
Such a great film. Strong, heartbreaking, deep story, but beautiful. It also has some of the best cinematography of any movie I’ve seen.
This is a top 10 movie for me - the vision and execution are pretty much flawless. In terms of the personal and societal changes one would expect, this may be one of the most realistically depicted "sci-fi" settings I know. And the movie never fails to deliver an emotional experience.
The soundtrack (and related cultural symbolism) is absolutely fire, too.
I have been hoping you would give this film a go. Such a masterpiece.
❤️❤️
Insanely under rated movie. Was one of my favorites back when I saw it. And it is still amazing.
such a powerful movie! great reaction! I always loved how Theo's character developed throughout the movie. At the start he was cynical and aimless.. but as the movie went on he became more of a protector and less selfish. But he was a peaceful protector. He never once used a gun.. and he remained steady and resourceful even in the midst of chaos. Ultimately he gave his life for them and accepted it without any regret (even helping her with the baby as he was breathing his last breaths). he's the definition of the "warrior in the garden"
Truly one of the greatest films… ever. Remarkable direction and cinematography by Alfonso Cuaron… (He also directed the amazing “GRAVITY”)… the story, acting, effects are all top-shelf.
In one brave courageous final act... Theo found and fulfilled his life's purpose.
Somewhere, there is a behind-the-scenes of how they did that whole get away scene in a single shot. It is pretty crazy and required expert timing and a multitude of talents.
Good reaction, btw. Thanks for sharing it.
Clive Owen should've been James Bond. This movie is so good.
He'd have been an excellent remake for George Lazenby!
A stunning film like everything Cuaron has done. Watch Y Tu Mama Tambien, his breakthrough hit. It is one of the greatest films I’ve ever seen. Still feels fresh today.
Cuaron can do damn near anything. Hell, Harry Potter is the LAST kind of film I'd expect from the director of Y Tu Mama Tambien haha
What happens next?
They give you a clue at the very end, you can hear children laughing. :)
I watched this movie 2 years after it came out, hardly anyone new about it, I felt like I was in on a secret only a few cinema lovers new about. It's a dystopian future not so far fetched, wars, nations crumbled, racism, immigration, extremist groups and government terrorism and the camera work was amazing. One of the best films I've ever seen.
Your comment from 4 months ago ... to what I saw on the news today - A recent study found microplastics in **every pair of testicles they investigated**.
Dystopian *tomorrow* is very likely.
That moment at the end... there's a peace when everyone hears the baby, and for just a split second everyone sees something bigger than themselves and humanity finds a beautiful solace in a baby's cries. And then, like we always have done and always will do, we continue to shoot and bomb and destroy because we know nothing else.
She's saying "shanti" while burying Jules, which is Sanskrit for "peace". So it's Hinduism (or perhaps some modern belief that incorporates Eastern philosophies), not Voodoo. 🙂 Thanks for reacting to this excellent film, with some of the best cinematography I've seen!
Also Cuarón use to end his movies with the "shanti, shanti, shanti" mantra somewhere.
This is just about the most realistic movie I've ever seen, Car's that won't start, People die quick, There's no good side or bad everyone sucks in their own way. The government in this is intensely accurate to what is going on now with the incompetence.
very rare film that's flawless from start to finish - begins with an exceptional premise and builds and builds to an emotional catharsis that's practically spiritual
One of my favorite movies. The extreme long takes makes it look more authentic. For example, for the rotating camera inside the car they developed a special camera. There are however some hidden cuts between scenes but they are not noticeable. There is also an interesting making of, which I would suggest.
3 books to read:
Donna Tartt: _The Secret History_
George Cockcroft, writing under the pen name "Luke Rhinehart": _The Dice Man_
Bret Easton Ellis: _American Psycho_
The secret history is one of my favorite books of all time! 💓
Love that you understand the concept of "popping a clutch". To many people have ZERO understanding of that phrase, female or male
The birth sequence must be one of the most seamless uses of CGI ever. Like everything else in this movie, it’s just done perfectly. Proper film making. So happy this director got picked to take on the third Harry Potter film. A really bold choice and helped shape the look and feel of the films after the first two.
Children of Men is a cinematic masterpiece. It was way ahead of its time, and that’s genuinely the only reason I can find to rationalize why it wasn’t recognized in the way it deserved at the time. People at large were not ready. This movie will be a common topic of study in university classes and film schools within the next 10 years and onwards.
heartbreaking story. Well made film.
TRUE
In any other war, Women/Children are considered "Collateral Damage"--Not this time. The way both sides stopped fighting when they saw/heard the baby was touching. And I so hate Theo didn't make it..After all, he was just a reporter looking for a story, and wound up being a true hero who quite possibly saved the human race from extinction. One of top 100 ranked sci-fi films of all time, and rightfully so.
The total opposite is true. It's men who are disposable in society, that's why women aren't conscripted to fight on the front lines in Ukraine but young men with Down's Syndrome are. That'a why Boko Haram ki||ed thousands of schoolboys in Nigeria but when they kidnapped a few dozen schoolgirls the whole world turned their attention and it became an international issue
This is a beautiful art piece with a number of profound messages poetically woven throughout. It is also ground breaking in the long, uncut scenes that draw us in as if we are part of the story. Every time I watch this film, I find something new. There is a really nice ‘making of’ about this that explains the very deep meanings throughout, intended by the filmmakers. Many professional people from different subjects collaborated on this. It also shows the incredible coordination in actors, extras and stunt performers to create the longer ‘one shot’ scenes.
I am glad you liked this film. 💕
Yeah i remember watching this movie back then very good movie
I literally forgot he died at the end how many years since I saw this masterpice
A good dystopian movie you may like is Equilibrium(2002) starring Christian Bale who played Batman in the Dark Knight movies. The premise is that emotion is the reason the world went to nuclear war so emotion was outlawed and twice a day everyone was required to take equilibrium (a drug) to suppress emotion. Christian Bale was a cleric who hunted down those who refused to take the pill. His acting and story arc is amazing. I was a fan of his before the Batman movies.
There are animals in almost every scene in this movie
It is a dystopian film, but it's also kind of a fable... the story of a child's birth bringing hope to the world technically makes this a Christmas movie (I joke, but I'm also serious). On a human level the birth of a child is presented as something even soldiers mid-battle see as sacred and holy, causing them to stop fighting and look on in wonder. Then, the way the ship appears at the end is kind of mystical - it just appears out of nowhere at the perfect moment - so I think the film encourages us to not be too rational or cynical about What Happens Next. Hope has returned to the world, that's where the story ends, and where the story wants us to go next in our heads.
When I saw this on the theater; i thought to myself.." this is like chapter 20 through 24 of a story with 50 chapters.
I can't even begin to describe how much I love the camera work in this movie! I can't get enough of it!
That long cut scene at the end where the camera just follows him is unbelievable!
The first thing you hear after the fade to black is the sound of children. To me this means that either all over the world, or perhaps in just some corner of it, children will again play and be free.
An optimistic way of looking at things, but then I’ve always been an optimist.
Pretty rough movie, but how the director said, it's about hope winning against despair.
A very underrated movie. I’ve seen it multiple times, and always wonder at how well it’s aged.
Top ten for this century. A masterpiece
Alfonso Cuaron is such a brilliant artist. I highly recommend his movies "Y Tu Mama Tambien" and "Roma." They're also masterpieces. I grew up in Detroit, but I've lived a lot of my life in Latin America and Roma means the whole entire world to me. It's such an amazing movie.
i love this movie, great choices of music/ soundtracks too ( minus the "zen"-music)!
edit: first time i've seen you this quiet lmao
This movie became a new favorite of mine after it was recommended to me by a viewer.
Fun fact.
Strawberry cough is excellent :)
this movie changed me when i was 14 seeing it on my own.
One of those films that arent just pop into a reaction, enjoy, forget, and go about your day! It stays with you and your mindset has got to be a certain way for it, oddly enough. That said, this channel is the premier channel having this movie on to react to! I'm good now actually in not asking around for it so intently. I'm good since it's on here! Also, Kamilla/Centane writing Children of Men 2. Chilling. And wicked. Also, this film somehow pairs well with Constant Gardener. I recommend! Oh, and the timeline of this film fits all too well!
My ex hated this movie, that was the first time I realized there was something wrong in our relationship😄
I love this movie but it's probably ten years since I last watched it. I kept it together right until she said she was naming the baby after Theos son Dylan and I just started crying so much. I'd completely forgotten about that and it broke me.
Magnificent movie choice!!! Pressed on this immediately hehe. This is one of the very few movies that I score 10/10.
Masterpiece of a film. Story, acting, cinematography, effects.
Exceptional single take shots in this film. Happy to hear all the children laughing during the end credits.
I love this film so much. Especially from the production perspective!
Strawberry cough.... it makes you cough, and it tastes like strawberries.
"Why is this making me emotional?"
If the baby induced cease fire doesn’t make you enotional then I fear for your humanity.
Id use it as a form of psychological test... watery eyes at a bare minimum or your immediately classified as not human.
You a real one for to classic movie gem ya digg 💯😎
❤️❤️
Another Clive Owen and baby movie is "Shoot 'Em Up" with Paul Giamatti and Monica Bellucci. This movie, Children of Men, was great for a lot of reasons. Innovative plot, some new camera/direction techniques that worked. And the people feel like people. That is one of the things, I think, that make the movie work, because you end up feeling for the core group. That is why you are sad when Julian gets shot, and also why you feel it when everyone lets the baby through. They are not monsters in uniform anymore, they are people trying to save the only baby on the planet! There is a single shot scene where Theo is going from spot to spot during the military shootout that served as an inspiration for Game of Thrones (S6E9: Battle of the Bastards). Miguel Sapochnik credits this movie for a scene during that episode. I also wonder if The Book of Eli drew inspiration from this! Both protagonists have essentially the same fate, and both stories are essentially concluded after rowing in a boat to save something! I hope your day got better and I hope all your days get better!
The main male character in this movie plays in a one that is called the last Kings. I think are the last nights that's it was awesome
I love how the place is in ruins, but the propaganda is still strong. Very familiar actually
You should check out a movie called Billy lynn long halftime walk. It's another war movie. It's my favorite military movie.
One is the greatest sci fi flicks of all time. A masterpiece.
I see Michael Cain's character as a "what if" of John Lennon. What if John Lennon hadn't died so you, and was not a musician.
Global fertility rate has decreased by about 50% since 1963. The book this is based on by PD James was published in 1992. Makes you think, right?
WOW, how chaotic and extreme 🙀. I was a bit confused
You never watched the film?
Pull my finger
JASPER 😭😭
@@Centane Glad you watched this movie. It's not an easy one, but it's good in a different way.
Great reaction.
I heard it argued that the camera’s POV is the main character, not Theo, in the way that it reacts to the story and makes choices without him
what is the plot?
what is the plot?
*pregnancy reveal*
THAT IS THE PLOT!!!!!!!!
I love this movie. I have watched it many times.
My favorite movie of the new millennium.
What a beautiful reaction to a beautiful film.
When you smoke weed. Its not so much the inhale, its the exhale where the flavor and the effect comes from. The more you hold it in your lungs, and let it out, the tastier it is. Believe it or don't. Strains of weed does have different flavors. I've currently been smoking Wedding Cake Kush. Tastes sweet and very mellow. Yoda Kush will knock you on your ass if you are not used to smoking. So on.
I swear I knew SOMEONE would explain this 😂✌️
@@reservoirdude92 Ha Ha..Yupers!!! 😁
Thats nothing - "somewhere in time" starring the Christopher Reeve (superman), Jane Seymour in a heart wrenching time travel romantic movie, if you have have ever had regrets or loved and lost or wished to correct the past this film will have you in floods, literally floods, it maybe a 1980 film but is timeless and has a huge cult following.
You should watch "The Road" with Viggo Mortensen.
It’ll destroy her.
It might, but she did say she enjoys dystopia films.@@joeybossolo7
I don't think "political cartoonist" counts as "politician", but maybe that's just me.
9:40 Notice there are no cuts in this whole car scene.
I hope you ever see the movie the road. It's sad af
Привет Сатана✌) Тысячу лет этот фильм не видел , будем вспоминать вместе
I think this film, 28 Days Later, and Hot Fuzz tell you everything you need to know about modern England.
At 13:23 did she say, "oh my God, *it's* pregnant"??
no
I love Michael Caine in this. Pull my finger!!
This movie makes me think of Canadian hospitals doing legal euthanasia. I wonder if they use Quietus??
Can you please please react to the movie "Hard Candy" 🙏🏻??
With Patrick Wilson
Nice, a real sci-fi film.
Hey, good reaction. You should watch Society of the Snow
This is the movie that an entire generation either haven’t seen, or *have* and pretend that The Last Of Us is a completely original masterpiece that *in no way* borrows from Children Of Men with its: Apocalyptic/dystopian setting, corrupt ultra-authoritarian government developing to maintain order in a chaotic world, grieving father to a dead child protagonist, protagonist’s pre-existing affiliation to a female leading member of an animal-themed terrorist group, a young girl that may be the key to saving humanity as she is seemingly unaffected by that which caused the collapse of civilisation, the protagonist going on a journey to deliver the girl to a group that should be able to use her to find “the cure”, the terrorist group that are earlier portrayed as “good guys” (at least compared to the fascist government) turn out to *also* be murderers, and a finale where the protagonist *somehow* makes it through an exceptionally life-threatening gauntlet to save the girl from certain death. The Last Of Us is over-rated, especially after “Part 2”, the TV show is a worse version of the video game it’s based on, and neither of them hold a candle to this film which they stole the premise/characters/plot from.
I remember when I was a gamer there were zero hot girls gaming. Now that I dont game anymore every other hot girl games. 😂
Sigh I'm gonna die alone. 😩
There is some religious lore behind this film. Some beliefs think this is how the apocalypse will begin: people won't be able to have kids.
Wicked is good ;)
It is a thing: "If you don't cough you don't get off". Obviously you are not Canadian.
👍
Greetings, I am a fan of your channel, could you react to the movie King Arthur starring Clive Owen, the story is exciting about warriors as brave as the knights of Rome who lived and died with honor and greatness
Perfect reaction to this horrible, beautiful movie. Those long, long scenes must have been difficult to film. The choreography! Anyway, thanks for this.
This movie was woke before woke was a thing
What a great movie! Very accurate (imho) as to how things might really turn out in future. There’s two things that are the wrong way around though. Firstly, it won’t 2027 but *2072* and secondly, it’s not women who are infertile…it’s *men* . The coming population collapse will have more than one cause. Just saying.
Reign of Fire is a really cool dystoptian movie check out
Gotta cough to get off!
Y se fumo el pucho? 😢
Unfortunately because of my corrupt government, this is exactly how my country will look in three years.😌
No Escape 1994 is dystopian with what's his name Ray liotta
Check out Babylon A.D with Vin diesel
Oh common do Titanic!
love your channel, hated this movie.
V For Vendetta is where we've been...(covid BS)
Children of Men is where we're going.
