Children of Men

Getting errors on my end. 'Undefined errors' AFTER I paid for this film. Honestly, I can't believe I actually shelled out the money. I was really hoping for a better experience with this transaction. Severely disappointed . Best film ever, just couldn't wait for a 4 gig dl. Fml, I pulled a loser move and gave dumb Google my money, for nothing. There is a reason that this is all FREE. Fool me once.

It's not surprising that this movie lost money at the box office, it's not that good. The critics of course loved it. They couldn't stop praising Cuaron for his direction. The problem is Cuaron being a Socialist added to much of the leftist themes to the story (he was also part of the writing team). Maybe if I hadn't read the book I would have liked it better.

Perhaps presented to an alternative to our current, dangerous state of over-population, this film provides a brief, and not particularly imaginative, glimpse of a future in which children are not able to be born, for reasons which are not really made clear in the 3/4 of the movie I could stomach. Enter pregnant girl, plot thickens, guns are taken out indiscriminately, wrongs are righted, and so on. Most of what I learned from this film is that humans can only begin to pretend to be happy when they're in an environment of extremes and have very little patience for subtlety. It's about as subtle as an atom bomb and as deep as a layer of paint. A generous helping of thinly-veiled propaganda and fighting action make it perfect for its intended audience, whoever that should be (not me).
