FUTURISTIC CUARON


CHILDREN OF MEN

“Children of Men” is not your ordinary movie. This is an outlandish science fiction film set in an apocalyptic Great Britain of 2027, the film explores a grim world in which two decades of global human infertility have left humanity with less than a century to survive. Societal collapse, terrorism, and environmental destruction accompany the impending extinction, with Britain, possibly the last running government, persecuting a seemingly never-ending wave of illegal immigrant refugees seeking safe haven.
“Children of Men” explores the theme of hope and faith in the face of overwhelming futility and despair.

Alfonso Cuaron is an amazing auteur. I really love him! If you were enthused when you were watching “Y Tu Mama Tambien” & Harry Potter & the Prisoner of Azkaban then you gotta see this! His direction is remarkable. Cuaron really made me cerebrate while watching this. He wants us to scrutinize how those things happened. He tries to encourage us to picture the conclusion. The film is all about hope. I really love the message of this film.

Cuaron’s shots are innovative. I always see & feel the Prisoner of Azkaban atmosphere. If you were awed with his style then you will be astounded again. I love the lengthy single-shot sequences. I was uttering to myself like“oh my God that was amazing!” I had goose bumps raving to some scenes especially the ambush, the futuristic nativity and the raging battle. Hats off to Cuaron and the gang coz they made a pristine effect.

The cinematography is really award-winning. It’s believable that it’s really filthy 2027.
The editing too is magnificent. That’s why they won in BAFTA and nominated in the OSCARS.

Another masterpiece from Alfonso Cuaron!
The film is not yet shown here but the DVD is already out I suggest that you should buy it.
HIGHLY RECOMMENDED.
