Children of Men…
Here is a film that I could not wait to see. Out of all the end of the year films, this was the one that I wanted to see the most. And this is the film that I was most disappointed it. The cinematography…amazing, the war scenes…amazing, the performances…top notch, the point…I have no fucking idea.
What was the fucking point of this film? Was it to say that humanity is flawed and that we don’t deserve to live? Or that when faced with our greatest threat we won’t rally together and rise above? Or that we are on that very path of doom and gloom and if we don’t correct out current path that will become our future? I guess all of those things are possible. But the lack of a stance was just plain annoying. And that was just plain disappointing, because what was the reason to see this film. I could have guess all of the above on my own, without wasting 2 hrs and 7 bucks (matinee ftw).
