Children of Men. I finally saw it. No. Let me rephrase. I lived it. This is without a doubt the most affecting film that I have seen in years. The world created by Alfonso Cuaron is so complete and so real. I walked out feeling absolutely overwhelmed - exhausted - and very, very sad. The reason? This future is all too believable. There is so much hate and destruction being propagated around the world. Ignorance, selfishness and greed run rampant. Our short-sightedness is frightening. Forget destroying the Earth, we are destroying ourselves. NOTHING underscores these facts quite so much as the cry of an infant amidst all that darkness. That image will bring tears to my eyes for weeks.
Watch it.
