AWFUL!!!
I was hoping for a lot from this film , but it really is awful. The acting is almost universally bad, but Clive Owen must get a special mention for once again proving to have the acting ability and personality of a sideboard. The birth scene in particular had me laughing out loud he was so bad! The actors aren't helped anyway by the awful dialogue, it's so unconvincing and cliched. Also, at various points in the film a character will suddenly just break into a long speech about something we need to know - this is totally unconvincing, people don't do this in the real world!!
A mention must also go to the music for bringing the film down further - in keeping with the worn out 60s idealism attempting to be portrayed here, we get various folksy ballads playing away. For exa...
Children of Men
In 2027, mankind is infertile. With no more babies, the future is over, except for a beacon of hope in the UK. Clive Owen, Julianne Moore and Michael Caine star in Alfonso Cuar??n's adaptation of PD James' sci-fi nativity
Author PD James is renowned for her crime fiction, with a global audience for her Inspector Dalgleish novels. So her publication of 'The Children Of Men' in 1993 came as a shock. Inspired by news stories detailing the decline of fertility in the West, she re-staged the Christian nativity in a future Britain. Received by literary critics as a somewhat cranky work, and ignored by the science fiction community who never enjoy a "serious" writer padding around on their turf, the novel was a curio with themes that have, from the perspective of the 21st c...
Clive Owens Best film by a mile
This film looks at what the world would be like if there were to be a universal crisis that caused every living person to give up hope on careers, relationships, society and life itself - the world is infertile. And human nature is collapsing.
This film captures the hopelessness of the world incredibly well! I felt completely sucked into the film. Also it is only 21 years in the future, so everything is recognisable as its all shot in England, which adds to the emotional connection you get while watching it.
It has been directed very well too, there is one battle scene which is entirely shot in one go, it doesn't change camera angles once-amazing!
And Clive Owen prooves that he can act, this is easily his best film to date.
If you like Minority Report, Termi...
Children of Men
Initiator PD James is eminent in the service of her misdemeanour fiction, with a epidemic audience for her Inspector Dalgleish novels. So her newspaper of 'The Children Of Men' in 1993 came as a shock. Inspired past news stories detailing the diminution of fertility in the West, she re-staged the Christian nativity in a time to come Britain. Received past literary critics as a pretty crotchety function, and ignored by the skill fiction community who on no account take to a "serious" writer padding here on their green, the novel was a curio with themes that have, from the perspective of the 21st century, become increasingly associated. Official Alfonso Cuaron and essay partner Timothy J Sexton make all the fitting decisions in adapting James' novelett...
