Spoilers!
Ads are running on this video, but that wasn't my choice, an Universal studios will be getting all the proceeds. Sorry!
Alfonso Caurón's "Children of Men" has a density to it that I've never seen matched. Every single frame has some sort of subtext or subtle world building that goes miles to immerse you in the world. Factor that in with the long takes, and you have a film that will practically leave you shell shocked. However, what I'm more interested in with this video is the sound design.
Sure, like most great films, you can watch Children of Men without audio and still get the basic premise and themes, but the same can be said for it's bare audio track, with no accompanying images. There are a boatload of subtle tricks that this films audio uses to immerse you in the world, and I'll be focusing on some of them today.
The single song used in this video is Fragments of a Prayer by John Ravener from the Children of Men score, as well as the first couple seconds of Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima by Krzysztof Penderecki in the outro; also from the films score.

I know!! Why did I cry so much! I think it was because it was showing us that everyone has become so devoid of hope they’ve lost their humanity, but when they see the baby we see that they all truly are one humanity.

Really good essay, really loved it. However, the scene with the "serbian" granny for me Was even deeper. First as a german, I understand what she's saying. When I first looked at her I felt pitty since she's obviously deeply afraid and wont get any help, but then hearing her complain about being in the same cage as Black people disgusted me. It's like with the rest of the people in the movie. As an outsider you might even feel empathy for their terrible lives but if you lived life from the pov of the protag, actually knowing these people, you might quickly Lose any pity you had for them and become numb to their existence, or even bothered by it.

Another thing about the motif of tinnitus in the audio design, is I feel like hearing loss is analogous to the state of the world, since as Julian said, 'it's the final swan song before you no longer hear that frequency forever.' Just as there's no way for your stereocilia to regenerate, there seemed to be no way for humanity to regenerate. Every death permanently decreases the total population

Saw this movie 3 times in the theater. Saw it on a whim, preceded to take friends to it to watch it on two more occasions, then shoved a DVD of it into my parents hands the day it came out on DVD and told them to watch it. Needless to say, it's high up in my list of respected/loved films.

That cafe explosion could also be symbolism for the collapse of humanity as well. A functioning cafe means there is economic development, culture, society, and human connections within that cafe. By destroying a place of culture and society, the film is basically saying that this future is so bleak that not even a coffee shop, a place that we take for granted, can even survive. This hurts at a deep level since coffee shops are signs of a society that's progressed to the point that we aren't focusing on just food and shelter and now can experience wonderful tasty drinks and a more "civilized" society. By removing that, it shows that this world is regressing and is just another example of how degraded, cold, and vile this future is. One with no hope, laws, or any sort of structure or normalness. The cafe would've provided those things, but instead, it got snuffed out just like with every other great invention in the movie like the car that even though it's crappy, has advanced safety collision technology. That means then that at one point the world in this movie was trying, that it was innovating, but then it all went downhill in one big fell swoop.

this movie has been one of my favorites for years. it's one of the few movies that I've watched many times. and I know it's cliché, but I usually notice something new each time I watch it. for instance, the last time I watched it I had learned what _Quietus_ meant: something that serves to suppress, check, or eliminate. Release from life; death. and then having that click was just amazing because the word _quietus_ sounds like a drug name and then the meaning just is too perfect for a drug that is a suicide pill. just a perfect detail!

I don't think what you say it's clichè, some movies are very dense in their details and subtleties and get better with every rewatch, this is surely one of those. I hadn't noticed the suicide pills before, so I guess it's high time I watch this masterpiece again.

And the mental journey it took me through even years after i saw it I can never forget. People can call me pretentious or a meme, but it really stood out as one of those theatrical events that should never be forgotten. It touched too close to home

Although I couldn't hear most of what she said, the way she said "Schwarze" and indicated with derision/disgust to the man next to her, it seemed to me she was moaning that she, a superior white woman, was stuck in a cage with an inferior black man. If I'm correct in my assumption, it just... I mean.... they're both refugees. In a cage. Both considered disgusting by the government. And yet here she is *still* being racist. Mind blowing. And so, so, messed up. As most of this world is.

It's funny you say that, Mark Fisher starts his book 'Capitalist Realism' by talking about how this movie is an allegory for late-stage Capitalism. The world we exist in, like Children of Men, has chain coffee bars which co-exist with refugee cages. A society where 'crisis' has been normalized and the revokation of 'emergency powers' (e.g. The PATRIOT Act) is no longer considered conscionable by the mainstream, we are kept in a perpetual state of fear about war/terrorism/disease/'destruction of our culture'/refugees etc. Our current Capitalistic society, much like the 'Battersea Station Ark' which serves as a horde for classical works for a wealthy elite (in the movie), has effectively assimilated all culture and history within itself. Tradition, ritual, culture etc. has been reduced to mere exchange value, to artefact and aesthetic, leading to a culture in stasis (and as the movie asserts, without 'new people', without new eyes and a new generation, that is no culture at all). This coupled with things like COVID and the looming threat of climate change, which will bring flocks of climate refugees to our shores and further authoritarian measures with it, well, I think this *is* the apocalypse we've got.

The reason for the end of the world on the book was "accepting the differences" into "our" society. Sick book... OMG sry for my bad grammar, english is not my first language ;-;

But I love your other videos: thoughtful essays of this kind is something I was looking for ever since I've stumbled upon Joseph Anderson's channel. It's sad how there's so much quality content on youtube but it's buried under layers upon layers of garbage.

This is the kind of movie that literally tells a story in almost every background and shot.

It's alright , in its own right but as I read the book previously to watching the film I honestly thought it was second rate. Especially the ending which I thought was much better in the book. It has been a long time now since I saw the film, even longer ago that I read the book but I remember being uninspired by the film. I guess my experience had been marred by reading the book, which I suggest you read! The author(ess) is P D James a predominate crime fiction writer in England.

Of all the videos I’ve watched about Children of Men, none of them has mentioned the use of Threnody for the Victims of Hiroshima, by the Polish composer Penderecki. Ironically, you used a small part of the piece to end this video, without mentioning what it is or who it is by…

Universal Studios sucks, the one time I managed to go there thanks to a married in family member at the time, they didn't even get my fucking picture right on the Jurassic Park ride. Made me look like some dumb scared kid curled over the guard rail in a yellow sweatshirt I certainly wasn't wearing on a water ride and definitely didn't have to keep wearing for the rest of the day. In September.

someone pls correct me if im wrong, but the woman crying over her 'dead son' seems to be speaking 'brown' rather than a foreign language. brown being gibberish some movies use because they lump all the middle east into 1 ethnicity with 1 language and dont bother doing research. again if anyone recognizes the language please correct me.

This movie is such garbage. NOBODY would act/react this way in real life if people were not breeding. First, EVERYBODY would be CELEBRATING not having to take care of little babies and children any more. Secondly, governments would NOT be wasting energy and resources keeping people out of your country or even give a crap about countries any more, not give a crap about country boundaries any more, if you are so concerned with depopulation. Thirdly, nobody would waste time on childish make believe fantasy like religion if underpopulation were such a serious problem. I hate this stupid movie. If it had JUST the theme of "women infertile, no new babies being produced" and ran with it, then it would be ok. But, the dystopian UK future ALSO has, totally illogically, extreme anti-immigration authoritarianism. If you were afraid of the human species dying out then you would WELCOME has many new people into your world as possible. And EXACTLY why people would NEVER ACT this way as in this movie if underpopulation were a problem! Governments would WELCOME as MANY immigrants as possible. People would NOT be FIGHTING AND KILLING AND REDUCING THE NUMBER OF PEOPLE EVEN MORE!
