Children of Men

Rating: 9/10 (7 March 2010)

After I watched the movie Children of Men, I became a fan of it. The movie was so good and while watching it, I felt mixed emotions. I feel so sad and quite happy. The major impression that the movie had on me was how amazing it is. The movie was so intense that I crumpled the paper that I was working on my class. The background of the movie was great, it symbolizes hope, chaos, faith etc; Every angle of the movie has some deep meaning out of it and how the actors or actresses carries their roles for more than 10 minutes without cutting it and just continuously shooting the film. This movie is so professional.
The movie is really interesting. The major characters are Theo, d journalist; Julian, Theo's ex-wife; and Kee, a young black woman who turns out to be pregnant. Every characters/actors in this movie gave out their best performances to turn this movie out so good and real.
Children of Men is about how the world collapse and only Great Britain stood still, how immigrants suffer consequences from migrating illegally, and about how people suffer from an epidemic of infertility; which means they are the last human specie in the entire universe but after all of these stuff that is happening there is still hope in everyone's mind and heart that one day everything will be alright. The background of the movie and the way that its characters interacts with it conveys the film's main idea. Not losing hope and still having faith to God.
The film has some visually interesting thing too. One background scene of the film said something about uprising, and you can see the people on the same scene background revolting and fighting against the army of Great Britain. The tracking shots of this film are very well done. Everything looks very well polished and interesting. The actors are great too, they did took their job very seriously and did a great performance in this movie. As the movie rolls you can never tell what's the most noticeable or lacking part of it. Every angle was clear and you just can't foreshadow what's going to happen next.
This movie is fantastic. An epic. One of the best movie of all time. From the cinematography to how the story goes. It is very well done. I would recommend this movie to my friend or family because this movie has a message and would make them think about these kind of situation.
