    I got the impression that Cuaran wanted us to imagine, with our own ideas, how Britain had become this way.

    If you don't mean all of the above then I don't know, lalala
    The end just left too much hanging.

    Not a bad film/idea but I wouldnt wanna see it again.

    not annoying, just, not good enough, if that makes any sense?

    Re: Children of Men

    Affirmative

    I thought the ending was a bit cheese, but then again we don't really know who The Human Project are, or if they exist at all, so I'm guessing that's why it ended like it did.

    "He maybe did what??"

    Re: Children of Men

    I dunno, a sequel could be utterly amazing.

    Some brilliant bits though, like the bit where she walks down the stairs with the baby and everything just stops.

    Re: Children of Men

    I agree, I think that is a key moment.

    The more I think about it, the more is seems like a 'special' film.

    That sounds, or I took that as, I was suggesting otherwise

    Re: Children of Men

    I loved the fact they didn't try and explain everything.
    If they started trying to get into the science of it it'd lose it's effect.

    it was basically a camera following Clive Owen about for the whole movie.
    Had they explained everything it wouldn't have worked the way it did.

    Was there a scene he wasn't in?

    I've seen it twice, and I can't recall one scene without him in it. Still though, he carries the film with ease. As a matter of fact, big Owen deserves an Oscar nod as well.

    Aye, the fact he was in every scene was to its credit.
