A masterpiece. Taught in film schools. On everyone's top film lists. And some of the most complex scenes ever filmed. An instant classic.
Hands down the greatest experience I've had watching a film on the big screen
Incredible movie. The scene where the fighting stops and the soldiers kneel as they finally register that they're standing before a miracle, a baby, never fails to get me tearing up.
i walked into a movie theater to watch any movie, this was playing. i never saw a trailer, knew nothing and it might be the best movie i ever saw in a theater.
P.D. James was 72 years old when she published this book. After a long career being known as a crime fiction writer, she crafted this utterly compelling story of the near future. Then to have it be turned into a masterpiece of a movie, by the incredible Alfonso Cuaron, during her lifetime.
Didn't know that. Wow.
I believe she is the woman holding the dog in the first shot.
@@swannyal According to wikipedia, she was satisfied with the movie, so I wouldn't be surprised if she was in it.
@@swannyal I've seen that said before, but it's not true. The woman in the coffee shop is Rita Davies.
@@Justin_Leone thanks for the info.
Love this movie. It’s criminally underrated. Alfonso Cuarón is a master director. 10/10.
This film is universally praised, on everyone's top film lists, and currently holds a 92% RT score. Hardly underrated.
The direction is incredible!
They do show (or at least imply) how the Fishes tracked Theo to Jasper's, but you have to be watching very closely. In the scene where Theo first takes the train to meet Jasper, the guy sitting behind him on the train is one of them, so they already know that Jasper's house is somewhere he would go to hide. It's not something you'd be likely to notice on first viewing (because at that point in the movie he's just a random guy that doesn't do anything to call attention to himself), but it's there.
I had just assumed they had a tracker of some sort on all their vehicles
I had forgotten how stressful this movie is. It isn't a full-throttle action film, but it beats them all for sheer tension. And I love that it's gritty and realistic, but hopeful; the best of us will triumph over our worst nature.
There's an important detail that happens after the credits in this movie: as the music finishes playing, you can hear the very distinct sound of children laughing and playing. The implication is supposed to be that humanity's reproductive capability will eventually return, either because of the Human Project's research or because Kee was the first of many women who will 'miraculously' regain their fertility.
The thing is, it could be thought of in the reverse and its the last ringing memories of a now dead human world... although i think most people go with the positive hope.
One aspect of this movie that I rarely see mentioned, and which I credit for being the key reason it excels in building tension, is that the movie never strays from Theo's point of view for even a minute. We never get any exposition that he doesn't or see anything that he isn't aware of. Therefore, we never know what his adversaries are doing when they're offscreen, and don't know what to expect around the next corner. While most movies would use foreshadowing to present tension, this one repeatedly builds it naturally by keeping Theo, and the audience, in the dark and utterly unprepared.
Never realised that, good point.
Love this movie it’s so underrated
By whom?
@@t0dd000 People. Who else?
@Todd Warner by the fact that it seems masses of people haven't seen it
@@mintjulius275compare the views this gets to other "classics" they've covered.
I think it might be due to the fact that it's not American.
Quite a few movies have had to change to appeal more to the lowest common denominator American audience.
Master and Commander had to change the war the book is based on so that America wouldn't end up portraying the "bad" guys in a movie.
I'm not saying this is all Americans simply the studios tailoring movies to appeal to the largest home audience who tend to only watch America based movies starring people they know and relate to.
Children of Men was a hard sell initially for that audience but more and more people are finally getting round to watching it so it's reputation has grown steadily over the decades
This movies is fire 🔥🔥
Alfonso Cuaron did right leaving Harry Potter after the 3rd movie.
Usually when you see a small budget director going from small budget to big budget, he usually wants to stay in the big budget territory, sometimes making sequels or similar movies.
Cuaron avoided that, and instead used his experience on big budget movies to explore other genres and try different things.
I love a director that explores different genres. Is usually what leads to a lasting career.
Probably my favourite film. Masterclass in filmmaking and supreme world building.
I remember years ago when college professors used to offer students academic credit for either watching the film or reading the book.
One of my absolute favs of all time. The two fav scenes for me are when the nurse remembers how it all started and when the war stops when they see the baby. I weep at that part every time. “It was odd. When the playgrounds died.” Holy fuck that was powerful.
You were 100% right about TLOU, Neil Druckman actually mentioned being inspired by this film.
This movie is excellent. In my top 20 sci-fi films of all time
Those super long takes must have been so hard to time and plan out, but man do they make the tension so heavy. This film, along with "Arrival" and "Dune: Part 1" are all pretty much tied for me as the best sci-fi films of the 21st century, and of all-time when you get down to it. This is the only one of those three I never got to see in the theater. I just missed it recently at the New Beverly, but hope to see it on a big screen one day.
The scene with Theo and his brother was set at Battersea Power Station... you can see a huge floating pig in the background, this is a reference to the cover of Pink Floyd's album Animals, which has an inflated pig floating over this building. There's a famous story of how it got free of it's tethers, and floated off (even forcing Heathrow to cancel their flights), before landing many miles away, giving new meaning to the phrase 'when pigs fly'!
thought it was his cousin
Love that you guys watched this movie, it’s one of my all time favorites ❤️
One of my favorite films of all time.
For the three MVPs, Jasper, Miriam, and Marichka ✊️
Even the rebellion and Sid, using them for their selfish purposes, the journey still wouldn't happen without them. Jasper, Miriam, and Marchka were guardian angels though
im suprised yall didnt notice the dreaded guy we all hate is Charlie Hunam. king arthur, the gentleman, sons of anarchy, they had so many good actors in this film
The actor playing the fascist guard is Peter Mullan, Scottish actor. He's been Ozark, Westworld season 2, and a heep tone of gritty British pictures.
Did you notice that the battle scene is 1 shot, when the blood went on the camera the director shouted "cut" but it was so noisy that they kept shooting and that's what I'd in the film
The predictive programming in this movie is off the charts. It was made 18/19 years ago. It was released 17 years ago. Scary stuff for sure.
Definitely worth checking out the behind the scenes for this movie, the car ambush scene is an incredible one shot with a crazy camera rig, same with the ending scene as Theo moves through the city.
"Everything happens for a reason" is a way to dismiss the relevance of something important, saying it didn't matter. If somebody's death "Happens for a reason," then his death didn't matter.
When I first saw this movie years ago I got so emotional. Great film.
Bexhill's still pretty much like this on your average Friday night.
Sons of Anarchy fans are probably nonplussed to see Jax Teller with dreads and a Geordie accent :)
Easily one of the great sci-fi films of this century
Between the amazing cinematography and social commentary, this film is criminally underrated.
I think most of us felt the same way with this story that is stress inducing. Great reaction!
Emmanuel luzbeki is a genious behind the camara
Incredible movie with incredibly long scenes without cuts (or a few hidden cuts). I liked you reaction and subscribed! 👍
This is my favorite movie that somehow no one I talk to knows about. I have to hold back tears every time.
Congratulations. You just watched one of the greatest masterpieces ever created.
Underrated film. This is one of the best films of of the 00’s. Still so relevant today.
at 21.53 theo throws his right flip-flop in the air in the corridor, we see his flip-flop flying while he says: damn it! haha
U kiddin me... This is awesome... One of my absolutely fav!!
The one shot , no cut shot was awesome
..
An absolute sci-fi masterpiece.
I love you guys comments at the end of the reaction. very interesting!
Top sci-fi movie of all time.
Simply an underrated incredible movie 👏 So slept on today 😢
Underrated by whom?
The tasty stork joke makes me laugh every time. This is my favourite Michael Caine performance.
I felt like some of the edits were frustrating, like you missed opportunities to showcase some of the more emotional, bigger plot points but it was so easy to see how much you were both drawn into the movie. Loved seeing you swept away by the story and how genuine those reactions were.
I adore this movie. Wonderful reaction!
One of the best films of the 21st C so far.
This is my favorite film. Appreciate the reaction of it.
The movie is a masterpiece. Great reaction!
Dude are you sure you haven’t seen this before???? You knew it was Juliane Moore just by her voice😂 !?
Nice reaction guys :)
One of my three most favourite films.
The rig they used to film the attack on the car prior to Julian's death is incredible. czcams.com/video/GJprbCuWdHo/video.html
Every child born brings hope to the world.
Best movie ever made
Dynamic Duo!
Love this movie.
Definitely in my top 10. Nobody does dystopia like the Brits. Maybe the Russians.
last of us was directly influenced by Children of Men, as per Neil Druckmann. It's one of his favorite films.
Steph you are 🔥🔥
27:10-27:55 This scene…
Great reaction to one of my favorite films ever
I also never thought of the last of us vibes but I totally see it
Btw, the Stork, the bird that delivers babies, is what was tasty. In case anybody missed that joke.
I think you should review The Great Los Angeles Earthquake.
Steph🌹❤
Definitely more poetic than v for vendetta
💯 straight classic
TLOU was straight up based on the Children of Men film. Tbh I still think Alfonso Cuaron did it better.
Team Steez and Agor!
How long until this film becomes reality?
Agenda 2030
This film is such a beautiful tragedy. A dystopian nightmare that we seem to be edging closer and closer to in reality...especially here in the UK.
I haven't seen it
What is it about?
NOT fair..afrter everything Theo did to save that woman and her baby, he deserved to live..Poor guy was just a journalist looking for a story and instead died and hero...One of the saddest, underrated movies I've ever seen (Although it's highly ranked by sci-fi crtics as one of the GOATs)
Geez, why is this woman so gorgeous?
CINEMA
Yep. Mexican directors are the best in the world.
If you lived in a world where folks are unable to have children for 18 years, your mind would probably break to pieces too.
She reveals that she's pregnant in a barn...like? Mary and Jesus... The animals really like Theo, what job has you working with animals...? Anybody? A Shepherd... see where I'm going with this? I'm not even christian/catholic
i don’t believe jasper is theo’s dad, theo and julienne probably befriended jasper and his journalist wife in their youth when theo was a political activist
You guys didn't notice the pig in the air? So much of a reference.
This is what The Last of Us would have been like if it was a movie.
Weird though... a male director would change a core element of the book... it was MEN who where infertile in the book not woman like in the movie
I saw this movie a long time ago and I didn't particularly like it that much. Don't get me wrong, it's incredibly suspenseful, has some great action scenes, and the cast is fantastic across the board, but it's just too depressing for my taste. It's strange, you'd think a movie about a future society where people can longer carelessly breed like locusts would be much more feel-good and utopian, but goes in the other direction. Also, I still don't understand why Luke wanted to kill Theo. Maybe I wasn't paying close enough attention, but that never made sense to me.
"where people can longer carelessly breed like locusts would be much more feel-good", you think the end of the human race is feel good?
@@jamesrustles8670 I suppose it's not a good thing in the long run, but given the current state of the world, it wouldn't be worst thing either.
@@ChrisTheAspergerGuy ehhhh
@@youtubeaccount697 Ehhhh, what?
Que bueno que reaccionarom a esta obra maestra de Alfonso Cuaron! Casi no hay, y mucha gente no la ha visto a pesar de su innegable calidad! Gracias chicos!! ❤
They probably shouldn't have taken a benadryl before watching this.
either the movie jumps or you edit wierd. becuse the movie clips to another sceene betwen 3 min in 5.49-50. but your reaction is live the same.
