Posted September 7, 200618 yr Is Children of Men gonna be one of THE films of the fall? :huh: I think it is, the trailer looks good and it has been getting good vibes at the Venice Film festival, better than the fountain and lynch's inland empire [flash=450,350]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=f2J5dMnIAAk.swf
September 12, 200618 yr Author my mum wants see this so i've offered to take her, whens it out? the 22nd of September (if you like road movies and can do subbs here's another of the directors films: http://www.buzzjack.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=17207 )
September 12, 200618 yr Looks interesting this one, I've got a lot of time for Clive Owen as well - good actor.... But we call it "Autumn" in this country, not "Fall", we aint bloody Americans yet..... :lol:
September 13, 200618 yr It looks really good. Def a new concept whic is always good Hmm, it's not really that new an idea, "The Handmaid's Tale" (which was a book as well...) has a central premise pretty similar to this.....
September 13, 200618 yr Author But we call it "Autumn" in this country, not "Fall", we aint bloody Americans yet..... :lol: i know, but as an (adopt managementspeak :lol: ) international entertainmant portal blah blah blah :lol: :lol: :lol: anyway i put 'THE films of the fall' as i ran off the tongue better being both F words :lol: one of THE openings of Autumn one of the Amazements of Autumn didnt really have the same impact dontyouthink :lol: :lol:
September 25, 200618 yr I quite fancy seeing this one. I saw some clips on Johnathan Ross's Film Thing yesterday. It looked really good. And I like Clive Owen a lot ( except in King Arthur which was total c**p :puke2: )
September 25, 200618 yr It's really quite an excellent film. The plot does go a bit awry here and there, but the way Cuaron has structured and shot the film more than makes up for any slight deficiencies in the script. Where most 'action' directors go for quick cuts, Cuaron actually does his action sequences in long takes, and this really gives the film its edge, sometimes it looks like you're watching a documentary, such is the realism of the piece, the camera even goes out of focus sometimes just like it would if you were watching a documentary where lots of things are going on; there are even blood spatters going onto the camera. It really is quite intense, particularly the nightmarish opening sequence with the coffee shop blowing up and the astounding closing battle scene in the refugee camp, it looks like something out of Sarajevo during the Balkans war.... I'd recommend this film....8/10 from me...
September 29, 200618 yr Author I'd recommend this film....8/10 from me... great film and hopefully Claire-Hope A$h!tey is gonna be the next break-out star after emily blunt loved the way they used old Citroën CXs, Fiat Multiplas and Renault Avantimes (which i bet were so outofthisworld when they first were put into production) for the cars of the future and put really slick fronts over them. so its like some kind of ex-communist state decomposing around with 1960s and 1950s models updated so they dont look so old. so england in 2027 looks like Chechnya in sometime like 1994 :lol: :lol: http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/2/23/Volga_3110.jpg also Julianne Moore gets shot within the first 30 minutes. you dont get that with a major american actress in most films (if only if it happed in trust the man :lol: )
September 30, 200618 yr I saw this last night, its absolutely brilliant, the best film I have seen since Brokeback Mountain!
September 30, 200618 yr It's the #1 here at the moment but has not made too much money. In America, I don't rate its chances.
September 30, 200618 yr PS before anyone shouts at me, I'm not saying that box office has anything to do with quality. I just mean I don't think this film will be one of the most successful or most talked-about films of the season
September 30, 200618 yr It's the #1 here at the moment but has not made too much money. In America, I don't rate its chances. Well, it's a British film made by a Mexican director, so...... What do the majority of Americans know about good film-making anyway...? It'll probably do better on DVD, which is a real shame, because it needs to be seen in all its 'sound and fury' glory at a cinema, regardless of how good a Home Cinema set up you have....
September 30, 200618 yr It'll probably do better on DVD, which is a real shame, because it needs to be seen in all its 'sound and fury' glory at a cinema, regardless of how good a Home Cinema set up you have.... Yep, the affect and sound of the gun fight at Bexhill was astounding at the cinema!
October 1, 200618 yr Yep, the affect and sound of the gun fight at Bexhill was astounding at the cinema! Yeah, I was convinced that there was actual gunfire coming from behind me.... :lol: Last time I was that convinced by sound was the Normandy Landings sequence in "Saving Private Ryan"....
October 1, 200618 yr Author What do the majority of Americans know about good film-making anyway...? well i believe naming one character edward and another character woodward is the height of sophistication. not like the nod to pink floyd in this film http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/1/10/Pinkfloyd.jpg
