Children of Men (imdb 8.0/10.0) was pretty dang good. Very dark in a Brazil or Bladerunner way with timorous rays of hope shining through. Interesting to think about how differently people might act if there were no more children. There is a sense of fatality throughout the movie; a sense that nothing matters because everybody is going to die. But whether it is year 2027 or 2007 each of us is going to die, right? So, how much of a difference would it make to me whether I were the last generation? A lot I suppose, but then … does that mean that I am living with a conscious sense of the next generation? I guess it really highlighted for me, that in many ways that we (Americans at least) are already living as if we were the last generation.
I give it an A.
I know it appears that I give a lot of movies good reviews, but keep in mind that I only bother to go see movies that have had a lot of good cyber buzz.
