Amazing!

Rating: 10/10 (3 April 2007)

One of my friends had been telling me to watch Children of Men since it came out in December but I kept putting it off. I finally saw it today and it was in one word: Amazing! From Cuaron's 6-minute-long single shot to the very subtle Pink Floyd reference - the entire movie was amazingly well done. The Dystopian UK setting reminded me of A Clockwork Orange. The movie resonates the same level of brilliance as Kubrick's work. Clive Owen's acting is unparalleled - he brilliantly pulled off what seems to me to be a very challenging role. And Claire-Hope who played Kee did a very great job for a young newcomer. I'm amazed that this movie managed to miss the spotlight at the Oscars. Shame on the academy. Anyway, Insanely Well done Cuaron and co.!
