Okay. My PS3 fever has passed, and I'm now patient to get one in about a year. Moving along, I just watched one of the best movies of the year:
Children of Men
I didn't know what to expect from this movie. I saw the trailer and said, "Seems like an interesting concept." What I didn't know how pulled in I'll be cautiously thinking, "Shit, don't let go of the girl." This movie is filled with suspense. You don't know what is going to happen next.
As for the characters, Clive Owen plays a cliched man who lost his roots, blah, blah, blah. While his character is cliched, he gives a great performance. His character's life is always at the brink of danger, yet he never breaks down until a critical point in the movie. From the trailer, I thought the girl would not know any English and be like a stupid chick, but she is far from that. She was born into that world not knowing certain things due to the events around them. So, it was interesting to see it from that perspective. Michael Caine plays this delightful hippie. You'll get a laugh from him once or twice. Anyways, I don't want to go into detail on the other charaters. I just want to say that it was wonderfully played out by the actors.
You have great "end of the world" imagery, wonderful acting, wonderful cinematography (I just love the chaotic shots).....it all sums up to a great movie that needs to be seen.
