Children of Men
February 3rd, 2007 by matt
I watched Children of Men the other night. (Not at a movie theater; my roommate downloaded a DVD rip from the DVDs sent out to Oscar voters. Wow, what a movie. WOW. It was very bleak, very dystopian, but fantastic. The director made his point without preaching about how we’re ruining our planet. I highly, highly recommend watching it.
It’s a travesty that it wasn’t nominated for any important Oscars. It is nominated for Achievement in Cinematography, Achievement in Film Editing, and Adapted Screenplay. All second-rate Oscars. No one remembers who wins those categories. Such a shame that it isn’t being recognized for the movie that it is.
Go watch it!
