Film Making at its Full Potential

Rating: 10/10 (29 May 2019)

Children of Men is one of my personal favorite movies thanks to superb direction from Alfonso Cuarón, Beautiful cinematography by Emanuel Lubezki, an incredible screenplay and premise and great performances from Clive Owen and the rest of the cast. Children of men has some truly jaw dropping moments of beauty and horror shown through some of the greatest long takes ever shown in cinema's history. The world is thought out and nuanced and has strong themes of what it means to be human. It would be my first choice for a movie to analyse on philosophy, themes and film making as a whole. It in my opinion at least is film at its full potential
