children of men
just got back from watching children of men, it was really good. dark view of the world in the year 2027, when all people under the age of 18 are dead, and all women are infertile. it’s pretty brutal, but i couldn’t help thinking that it was relatively realistic to how the world would be in 20 years (given that the dying off of the human race thing were to happen). nice cinematography, like robin said.
by Mexican director Alfonso Cuarón (y tu mamá también, harry potter 3 )
also, best quote goes to anna: “that wasn’t a very uplifting movie…”
in addition, via IMDB linkage - cuarón -> children of men -> michael caine -> the dark knight! due out (sometime) in 2008, it’s the next (good) Batman movie. with Heath Ledger as the joker?
