The Life of Reidy

I got to catch Children of Men last night with my buddy Nugget, and it was pretty awesome. It gave that same impact and rush of action like Saving Private Ryan, except it hasn't even happened yet. The plot pits former activist Clive Owen in the not too distant future where women have been infertile for about 18 years and all of humanity is going insane as the end grows near. Right from the very beginning, the movie is a rush of energy as the camera follows Clive Owen around, almost as if we were experiencing everything with him. It really makes this science fiction seem that much more real and gritty, and makes the action and violence so much more intense. Especially with some amazing camera work and direction from Cuaron, including amazing 9 minute long takes to keep things interesting. Definatly worth the price of admission, and if this movie does not get recognized at the oscars this year then something is terribly wrong.
