Let's talk about Children of Men.

I just watched Children of Men and if there was any possible way for me to be absorbed into the seat during the course of the movie, I think it would have happened (that translates to me, cringing dramatically into the seat in response to its extreme intensity). What great pacing-- how amazingly did they make you terrified for the characters one ( Read more... )

First off...we should definitely have an Oscar party. Definitely.

And...I loved Children of Men. The thing that I thought was awesome was that it had a lot of violence...but it was the right KIND of violence and the perfect amount for the movie. I didn't think any of it was gatuitous or unnecessary.

I felt the same way. The violence was so closely connected to the themes of the movie that it wouldn't have been the same without it, really. It made it hard to watch, but it also made me think what it would be like to live in a warzone, and what it would be like if the warzone was a familiar place. That really impressed me about COM.
