Long Action Sequences make this movie Original and Awesome

Rating: 10/10 (22 June 2007)

Alfonso Cuaron, took a risk in doing an action sequence in one take, IN A CAR! i mean you're in the car looking out at the chaos going on, and you feel as if you're in the car with them. It was an amazing scene and it was an amazing movie. Toward the end of the movie he does another long take, this time, with tanks and bullets flying everywhere, i mean it took me awhile to realize that the scene had not been edited yet and that it was all one take! He is without a doubt the new Spielberg. The birthing scene was so real i thought they had a real baby, is swear it looked so flippin real. Everything about this movie was great. Another thing i liked was how he opened the film with an explosion and then with the sudden title, "CHILDREN OF MEN" and ending in the exact same way with the sudden title. and of course to top it off, he used John Lennon's "Bring On The Lucie (Freda Peeple) at the end. This movie was great Even though Clint Eastwood is my favorite director, i feel that Alfonso Cuaron should have received an Oscar nomination for Best Director for Children Of Men. I mean the story was interesting and the acting was incredible, so why not?
