    [A-] I think there is no need for such allegorical science fiction films to be overly entangled with the logical bugs in their stories. The really interesting part of this kind of themes is that they portray various extremes in an extreme environment. Psychological activities and social phenomena convey the core of their thoughts in the form of fables. In this regard alone, "Son of Humanity" can already be regarded as a leader in this category. On the other hand, Alfonso Cuarón used his unique...

    Shocked as a god. Most of the investment is placed in invisible places, such as background actors, dim but layered art design, to make the world alive. Every scene is full of tension. Putting political issues in the background is more thought-provoking than putting them in the spotlight. The subtle relationship between the foreground and the background is so cool to look...

    9.1 The big screen was refreshed and burst into tears. What's awesome is not only the bursting sound design and the long shots with extremely complicated and difficult scheduling, but also the desperate doomsday atmosphere and utopian society that are constantly shaping. Caron successfully blended science fiction, religion, and existential philosophy. For the hope of mankind, everyone can work...

    So far, Caron has the best look and feel. It belongs to the kind of movie that has to be very powerful in every aspect and has to be made with almost no flaws. The strength of technology makes up for the weakness of the story (but even so, it is far beyond the reach of most disaster movies and science fiction movies). The chase scene in the car can dominate any action movie, and a scene of street fighting together with any war movie is enough to beat the...

Children of Men quotes

  • Luke: [his last line] I had a sister...

  • Jasper: Everything is a mythical, cosmic battle between faith and chance.

    [offers Miriam a joint]

    Miriam: Maybe I shouldn't.

    Jasper: You already did. Take another one. Now cough. What do you taste?

    Miriam: Strawberries!

    Jasper: Strawberries? That's what it's called: Strawberry Cough!

    Kee: Wicked!

    Jasper: So. You've got faith over here, right? And chance over there.

    Miriam: Like yin and yang.

    Jasper: Sort of.

    Miriam: Or Shiva and Shakti.

    Jasper: Lennon and McCartney!

    Kee: [looking at pictures] Look, Julian and Theo.

    Jasper: Yeah, there you go! Julian and Theo met among a million protestors in a rally by chance. But they were there because of what they believed in in the first place, their faith. They wanted to change the world. And their faith kept them together. But by chance, Dylan was born.

    Kee: [picks up another photo] This is him?

    Jasper: Yeah, that's him. He'd have been about your age. Magical child. Beautiful. Their faith put in praxis.

    Miriam: "Praxis"? What happened?

    Jasper: Chance. He was their sweet little dream. He had little hands, little legs, little feet. Little lungs. And in 2008, along came the flu pandemic. And then, by chance, he was gone. You see, Theo's faith lost out to chance. So, why bother if life's going to make its own choices?

    Kee: Baby's got Theo's eyes.

    Jasper: Yeah.

    Miriam: Oh, boy. That's terrible. But, you know, everything happens for a reason.

    Jasper: That, I don't know. But Theo and Julian would always bring Dylan. He loved it here.
