I should have some confidence in Jarvis

The theme is too large. In my eyes, the farmer driver and the housewife cast will buy this film, purely because classmate Jarvis said, "This is a good film. If you are patient enough, you can still hear my song at the end of the film", and I have been I think the focus of his recommendation lies in the second half of the sentence.

Only when I was bored did I have the courage to look at it, and the result turned out to be good. If there is no rejection of the cast, and if there is no serious deviation in the understanding of the theme and plot due to the thought of a certain lyrics, perhaps you can see some feelings. Now even with these negative factors, we still have to say that this is a blockbuster action movie. , No shit, makes sense, it is not easy.

After watching it, I just thought, this is simply a grand prize film, with a quasi-apocalyptic background, explosions, gunfights, action, flesh and blood, love, music, everyone said that it is very good use of the lens, there are art and commercial double Fengshou’s first-line directors have barely first-line actors swinging on both sides of the art business, but the award nominations it receives are almost exclusively limited to the technical category of photographic editing and visual effects. Not enough blood? Not enough shit? This film didn't get the attention it deserved, but it finally got top250, which was in line with my imagination of imdb's taste.

I don't want to say how good this film is, but it hasn't been a surprise for a long time, and it seems that there is really nothing wrong with it. In addition, the credits at the end of the film are so long, there are still two songs, so I can listen to the end patiently and complete the task, which is worthy of jarvis.

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.
