@Meanie Panini I'm not so sure about that. Think about it, the soldiers are only humans; they're afraid because their world is collapsing and they try their best (from their point of view) to keep a little bit of control. But no matter what they do, they can't stop the slow, creeping apocalypse. Humanity isn't going out with a bang, in a big catastrophe, or even because of its own fault. It just kinda... fizzles out. At some point, the last human will die and our species will be extinct, and there's nothing anyone, especially those soldiers, can do about it. But it also takes long enough for that realization to really, unmistakably set in: They're part of the last of us. And that has been their reality for 18 years. Some might have come to terms with that, many probably haven't but they can't find any hope. And then suddenly, out of nowhere and in an environment where they least expect it, they hear cries they haven't heard in almost twenty years. And moments later, they see it: a baby. Something so pure and innocent, something that they thought they'd never see again. A symbol of hope, the proof that maybe not everything is lost after all. It's a world-changing event that none of them anticipated at all but all of them recognized as such the second they saw it. There was no plan for this because noone thought it would happen. I don't think anyone would not be completely stunned in that situation.

@minorityofthought1306 2 жыл бұрын

@@DerMoerpler I totally agree Tim. From the perspective of the men in the scene it was not only unexpected, but it showed that there was still hope for people who had lost it. It's an emotional scene realizing that these men could stop in the moment to have reverence for the first new life in twenty years. When they get attacked again and go back at it, they are jolted back to the status quo of war. And perhaps they thought to protect that new life they had just witnessed.

Neil Drukmann has talked about Children of Men being basically the most important influence on The Last of Us series. You can really see it shine through. An all time great film, the fact they were filming it in 2006 makes it all the more impressive how they portray the refugee crisis, governments lapsing into authoritarianism, and how relevant it has become today. Subbed!

That sequence later in the film where there is blood on the camera was painstakingly done with special effects.

Probably already mentioned, this is an adaption of the 1992 dystopian science fiction novel "The Children of Men" by British author P.D. James (perhaps better known for her detective novels featuring Adam Dalgliesh). It's very unique, and has some similarities to "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, which was published in 1985.

I think the first step in becoming a filmmaker who can move others emotionally is the capacity to be moved yourself. You obviously have that. It helps to be humble. Gaining humility from being humbled grants you empathy. Remember the words of the man who was illiterate yet created the concept of academy, "The wise man knows he is not wise."

Similar to that is the first debris-hit scene in "Gravity" (another brilliant Cuaron production).

He's the brilliant director of "Metropolis" (another incredible film), but "M" is not talked about enough. Perhaps because of the very tough subject matter... but it is one of the most important films in cinematography history. So many brilliant shots that look like paintings. In glorious black and white. Lang even used criminals in Germany when shooting some scenes for authenticity. It's a MUST WATCH film. I just subscribed to you fantastic channel and I'm going through your excellent reactions.

I, to this day, still think this is the best movie ever made. Everytime I watch, there's something new I discover. Anyone one have an ultimate favorite to recommend?

Well I hear this film was inspired by 1985's "come and see" in it's realistic style and it's supposed to be incredible but I haven't seen it, I recommend it if someone like's children of men, supposed to be brutal as hell though.

It’s worth watching the behind the scenes video about how they did that in car long shot. Even more impressive after you see how it’s done.

idk if you noticed the ads for Quietus in the movie, it’s assisted suicide. the scene w the huge art sculpture(s) cud just have been representation of one person’s avenue for dealing with this mortality dilemma. w/o children theres no future and no one to remember us and no meaning, that guy just looked to art for meaning. also hope you noticed how the main dude theo is barefoot for so much of the movie, perhaps representing how ill-suited he is for the responsibility given to him, also similar maybe to how some people go on religious missions while barefoot

Very underrated, unique, and well made movie, surprised there is not more reaction videos on this one.

15:06 is the exact face I had for a large part of this movie, lol. God what a great film, though; loved your reaction as always, James!

This movie is why Clive Owen is one of my favorite actors. And I attribute it's low imdb score to the tone of the movie being so down so much of the time

I can't believe all I see Clive Owen in nowadays is sodding betting adverts.

Maybe he thinks it's fun. One can only hope that he follows the logic "when the fun STOPS. You stop." ... and he goes back to proper acting I think the odds of that happening are 3 - 2

Great commentary, I like how break down key elements of different shots. I noticed that you missed out on the amount of times they used narrow passage shots in this film. I've watched this film a few times and always find something new. Your review/reaction has inspired me to give it another view. This is without a doubt a cinematic masterpiece. I wouldn't be surprised if it became a cult classic.

It's one of my favorite films and, I personally feel, is the most powerful film I've seen. There's just so much in it and that fighting stand still scene... nothing like it.

That long take shot in the car blows my mind every single time I watch it and I've seen it probably a hundred times. I seriously do not understand to this day how they pulled that off

This movie is criminally underrated. The fact that it didn't make it's money back at the box office is disgusting

Dystopian feeling... I'm in the Uk and I grew up in Liverpool in the the 70's, every winter looked like that 🙏 😂 three buses to work, first connection at 5:30 am for an 8am start! Ah the good old days. Nostalgia aside this is one forgotten and highly underrated movie... thanks for giving it the light of day and for your opinions on the beautiful craft of story telling and film making

Fanstastic film, and well deserving of the praise it gets! That incredible 1 shot, I recall watching a VFX artists react clip that covered it, and if I remember right there are a lot of hidden cuts as well as some clean CG to hide it all and to allow for the camera movement I'll try to find the clip that covers it, really interesting and a great way of creating a 1 shot for tension without the technical difficulties for a shot that complex My favourite moment in the movie is as they walk down the stairs and everyone just stops for a while at the mircale of a baby. Hits me hard every time... and then chaos resumes

The scene of the car chase by the bikes is shot from inside the car, how they did it so well to look like a continuous shot is amazing editing at least.
