Children of Men: Don’t Ignore The Background

An old friend from my village designed the cars in this film

God you're a pretentious wanker.

One of my favorite movies. I loved the tribute to King Crimson "In The Court of the Crimson King." There is a more subtle tribute to another great British musical group that I bet most people never spotted. When the chauffeur driven car arrives at Battersea Station (Lost art building) look up between the two right stacks. There is a giant floating pig tethered between the smoke stacks. That is a tribute to Pink Floyd "Animals" album in which Battersea Station with a giant pig floating between the stacks was the scene used as the album cover. The floating pig is seen again in the scene where they are all sitting at a large table. Just outside the window is the giant floating pig. The younger people who came after Record Albums are missing out on a lot of really cool artwork that was the hallmark of a great album.

The real question is, does this classify as cyberpunk?

Why must the only "stable country" accept all immigrants if it is the immigrants who live in their native countries and make it unstable?

I'm confused. Do people presuppose that every migrant is immediately "not one of the people causing instability in their home country"?

Jim is that you?

So this asshole is making the equivalence between the rapists of Europe with the legitimate refugees in the movie
Noted

You missed all the water ads on the buses and bill boards.

So the only functioning government in the world is a xenophobic nationalist one, all other government types have failed. Thanks.

So dumb. Every side in this film is a bad guy at one point or the other. and the immigrants rights group killed the leader who wanted to save the baby and mother so that they could use the mother and baby as a political tool and start a revolution, like the true leftists they are. But why include that small minor detail when you can use one tidbit of the film to criticize conservatives and Trump, like the true leftist YOU are. By the way, Britain was the last stable Government left, and immigrants from everywhere were overcrowding the police state. So imo they were doing it right, taking care of their overcrowded and dying population before immigrants. The point of the movie has nothing to do with politics, it's slightly a commentary on a society trying to survive in the wake of a global pandemic, but mainly just a film about an average Joe trying to keep a girl alive in a warzone. The video was good until this leftist idiot brought up complex social and cultural issues he doesn't understand. Stick to film theory.

This ties with the "trial of Socrates" as the best understanding art episodes

I saw the film and thought it was absolutely fantastic! I was surprised as to how many times I laughed throughout however.

Sooo good!

lol 90% of these comments are outraged conservative fucks

fuck, I love this channel

1:53 RIP Kazakhstan

This movie was libtarded propaganda. the whole thing from start to finish. its like some faggot college kids wet dream. If they wanted it to be more factual the terrorist group "fishes" wouldn't be a bunch of whites with dreads and nose rings, it would be some rag tag group of goat fucking muslims running people down with lorrys, and bombing children's concerts. They portrayed the ethic whites as the oppressor, whilst anyone with a pair of working eyes can see there is a organized attack against the white nations of the world. This movie promotes that by making the lead female protagonist a non british black. That's their narrative, non whites are the future. Unfortunately for the zionists behind this propaganda piece, the internet has blown the lid off of their plot, and the whites of the world are starting to take measures to reverse what's been done, and to ensure that these wicked individuals are labeled and ejected from the land, or buried under it.

After he talks about capitalism… he goes on to sell stickers

republic

KINO

wtf. there was no capitalism in last 100 years.

Wow I didn't catch any of that and I still thought it was amazing.

Well you don't mention the second appearance of Guernica at the end in the water tunnel 🙁
And there are a few more Banksys if I recall correctly.

The Balkan wars were the original wars, the wars in the 1990 period were the Yugoslav Wars.

Nice use of the Libertines there 👌

Glad Trump won.

This is stunning.

Yo maybe she was with the cows cus of atom earth mother or whatever

no just neoconservative regimes. neoliberal too. it's general to capitalist regimes. capitalism demands incessant growth, necessitating expanding markets. when trade negotiations do not yield sufficient results (and how could they?), the only fallback is force.

Where the video its show the KLCC destroy

You using an extremely out of context clip to advance your own political agenda just goes to show how misinformed you are

Thanks for your dumb liberal perspective.

what music did you use in the background for this video? Beautiful..

Thankyou! Long overdue. The stupid politicians are from Hell that is obvious.

Yet more proof that conservatives are extremely sensitive people. Nerdwriter explains the OBVIOUS subtext of this film, conservatives intepret it as being preached to, proceed to write out how offended they are. Idiots.

I see what you did there.
Song at the end; Arbeit Macht Frei, The Libertines.
Your videos are on another level.

This is one of my favorite movies, but sometimes the story would frustrate me because it followed a man, which seemed incongruous with most of the themes. It felt very much like a "we chose a man by default" kind of story, which is such a tiring issue in film. This look at foreground/background adds a new layer on how I perceive that now. Perhaps the incongruous nature of following a man in this world is intentional, highlighting how world issues fade to the background. And the introduction of a pregnant woman snaps us out of that space. I love your analysis!

Great Insight!

Still one of the most brilliant movies ever! LOL

2:24 haha

and yet, the plot is shit and the acting as well.

Lol. "neoconservative"

Talks about bad effects of capitalism and consumerism, advertises Stickers 2 for 3$. Ironical.

2 stickers for 3$ ? Well, here comes the moneeeeeey

Humanity is of course subject to our varied descriptions, but Jasper seemed unwilling to part with his take on it, and further to mock the "madness" IMO of his murderers behavior. Just one thought among a couple of others about the movie.

How about a case study of Okja? :3
