”Very odd, what happens in a world without children’s voices.”
Children of Men will invariably, years from now, be compared to many other movies. It will be compared to the class of 2006 – was it, in fact, the best movie of the year? Well, no, because it wasn’t The Departed. But it was a close second. People will compare it to Blade Runner, Brazil and Minority Report, as it will be in the running for the best bleak Sci-Fi future world ever made. And it’s awfully close.
Clive Owen has never been better than in this movie about the not-too-distant future where the women of the world have become infertile. When he meets up with the first pregnant woman the world has seen in eighteen years, her significance to mankind becomes obvious, and he must protect her at all costs. The future world is grim and amazingly realized. The action scenes have nice touches, like blood spatter the director leaves on the camera, and Michael Caine is excellent as always in his pivotal supporting role.
Children of Men has one other terrific device, and that is the best use of popular music this side of Tarantino. I have never heard the Court of the Crimson King used so well, but the real musical highlight shows up about three times. It’s a bizarre, Scottish-sounding version of the Stones’ Ruby Tuesday. A magnificently-shot, wonderfully acted bleak and brilliant 2006 movie, Children Of Men comes out on Blu-Ray May 26th.
