Children of Men
The wife and I went and saw the new movie 'Children of Men' last night. Sheeesh, that is a tough film to watch. The story is about how the entire world population has become sterile and there has not been a baby born in 18 years. The world is in chaos because people have lost hope.
But, a woman is pregnant and it goes thru her travels to have the baby and have it be born and healthy. Fascinating and very dark movie.
There are several truly terrific scenes...a car on fire which starts a brief and brutal chase...a unique chase scene involving a car that has stalled and guy running in socks and people chasing him down the hill...a quiet scene of awe with lots of stares and tears which I should describe further.
Clive Owen is terrific. Thumbs up but it is a very dark and intense movie.
