unbelievable number of religious esp. catholic symbols and motives, close to scorsese

Rating: 10/10 (4 December 2006)

I saw the movie children of men yesterday evening and I was amazed of "Spoilers" its way of foreshadowing and symbolic language.
such a mass is only to be seen at scorsese's work.
The wounds on Hands (Michael Cain) and feet (Owen) The child bringing life back to mankind, the miracle of it's birth - a story of escape and torture.
And again, like in scorsese's work - a hero who doesn't want to be a hero...
great work, one of the strongest movies I've seen this year and certainly one to collect to your other DVD's
