[Movie] "Son of Man": The most epic movie of 2006!

I almost missed such a great movie.
I watched the trailer before, but the impression was not good, because it was very ugly, hypocritical and not four or six. Especially when I watched "Eavesdropping Storm" the night before, I thought that the 2006 world movie could basically be covered, but I didn't expect to encounter it again today.

Director Alfonso Cuarón (the "Harry Potter 3" filmed here is simply beautiful), the sociological background, philosophy, and religion in the story... I will not discuss it here. The "grand narrative" is left to sociologists. Explain slowly, anyway, it is not the reason why this movie conquered me. In the first half an hour, I was still a little uninterested. It wasn't until the car was attacked that the long, invisible long lens was completely excited. It was so cool that I went back and watched it again! Here is a brief summary of the excitement of this film: The

first point is the long, invisible shot before and after Julianne Moore was shot. The technical novelty of this lens may require repeated viewing to appreciate: how did he do it? Where was the blood bag on Julianne Moore's neck hidden in the first place? How did the windshield break? How can the flying Molotov cocktail fall on the windshield accurately? ...... It's really fun to study these things carefully.
The second point is the death of Michael Kane. The most important thing in this place is the emotions, the emotions of the actors, the emotions of the characters. I’ve never liked Michael Caine, this old guy, but he did a great job in this place, and Alfonso Cuarón’s approach here, especially his control of Irving’s performance, I can only use Two words to describe: Right.
The third point is the scene of giving birth-how should computer special effects be used? It is strong without knowing it. That kid, I bet it is a product of computer special effects, but you can’t tell at all. Who wants to bet with me?
The fourth point is the gun battle in the rubble of the refugee camp. There are a lot of motion shots in the whole refugee camp. The shots always seem to sweep some faces unintentionally. They are actually carefully designed details. These small details are piled up little by little to form the reality of the drama scene. feel. In particular, the street fighting, which was completed in one go, reached a climax. The scene scheduling, the detailed portrayal, the character weaving, the emotional control... I think it is not worse than "Saving Private Ryan".
The fifth point is the panoramic shot of the impressionist oil painting on the sea at the end. It is clearly full of deep religious sentiment and can be described as beautiful.

Science fiction movies, in fact, have not seen such a work for a long time-not empty, not shallow, not frivolous, not to provoke the audience with dazzling special effects, with connotation, rhythm, emotion, and unassuming conquest, although said ""Son of Man": The most epic movie of 2006!" This may be a bit of an exaggeration, but this movie is one of the good movies that you should not miss in 2006, and this is absolutely reliable.
Believe it or not, I can bet a dollar with you.
