"Very odd, what happens in a world without children's voices."
Children of Men just completely blew me out of the water. I had high expectations from what others have said, but holy sh*t. It was so in your face, so tangible...I mean, you see all these "triumph of the human spirit" films...but wow. I need words.
It makes you stop and think. You do the best you can, with what you've got, and the best you can do is good enough. People just try to survive on what they've got.
I think the scene (one of the scenes) that got me most in this film was when *SPOILER* Theo and Kee are coming out of the building, with everyone watching them and the baby...the intense silence, awe, respect. And then boom, back to business, while they struggle on. No one's stopping them, but no one's paving the way, either.
Style? Effective and appropriate.
And the ending? Perfect.
Go see it, if you haven't already.
