    I will never forget the first time I saw Children of Men. It was very late at night, I just wanted to stop watching TV, then this movie started unexpectatly. And it completely captivated me since the very beginning. The story was incredibly thrilling, but I was also extremely tired. I wanted to stay awake to now what happens next. But finally I fell asleep. And when I woke up I was so disappointed for missing the ending. I went on to buy the DVD as soon as I could and I didn't regret it. One of my all time favorite movies for sure.

    @LeonardoKlotz 4 роки тому +66

    Cuaron did right leaving Harry Potter after the 3rd movie.
    Usually when you see a small budget director going from small budget to big budget, he usually wants to stay in the big budget territory, sometimes making sequels or similar movies.
    Cuaron avoided that, and instead used his experience on big budget movies to explore other genres and try different things.
    I love a director that explores different genres. Is usually what leads to a lasting career.

    • @fruitproof115

      You are propably right. But I still think that HP3 was by far the greatest movie in the Harry Potter universe. Espacially compared to the first two movies, it was so much more detailed and beautiful and - yes I have to say it - magical.

    On a 100 million dollars budget, the most absurd depense is this one : Bullock was paid $20 million up front for "Gravity," which is an impressive number on its own. But her deal also included 15% of box office revenue, which got her at least $70 million.

    These different budget breakdowns really make you think about the art of visual storytelling and the craft of it. Because you can't help but think about the budgets that can be put together with whether a movie just doesn't work. And the reason's why they sometimes just don't work.
    I've heard good things about Children of Men, haven't seen it nor Y Tu Mama Tambien. But I did see Gravity and that just was not a good film. The look of it was great with seeing Earth rendered like it was. But all that budget and time put in and it still wasn't good. Wasn't a good story and the all the glaring misconceptions they had about being in zero gravity, which you don't know if they forgot to consider or needed to have to keep the story going.
