i went to see Children of Men today and couldn't stop bawling (must-see movie btw).

I didn't particularly enjoy it. Granted, I was feeling pretty crappy when I saw it and I don't generally like dramas anyways, but the whole thing was so... depressing and not at all entertaining or enlightening. At the end I asked Peter what the point was. He said something about the human race destroying itself, and I was like, "Okay..." and didn't feel that my question had been answered.

I think you should watch

instead

and then go play some


and then dream about

[Joy]

Sweet.

Funny you should mention that actually, because I just saw all six Star Wars movies, the last five of which I had never seen before. I enjoyed them. I feel like starting a thread about movie genre preference.

hoow could you not like Children of Men? how dare you compare it to such lameness as Star Wars. it's not even worth italics! Children of Men almost feels real. it's sci-fi based on reality. you're prolly depressed because so many people die in it. but they die for a cause. isn't it worth infinitely more than living for nothing? it's a sci-fi-action-drama. damn it should be considered at the Oscars. i was better than The Departed (my favourite of 2006). don't listen to Joy and XoX. they can't even see the IEE in me!

In my mind it was a war movie. There was nothing Science Fiction about it at all, imo. The fact that it was set in the future doesn't make it anything more than a Drama.

btw, what type do you think the main character was? (if you don't want your thread to get side tracked, feel free to start a thread on it or send me a PM)

But isn't that exactly what he wants This thread is a sequel and a direct competitor to your thread and it looks to gain unexpected amount of popularity. Who knows how this battle of the threads will end.

To get back to the movie discussion...I haven't seen the movie in question I just thought to express that I like Star Wars I haven't even seen Departed but it was close once.

you have a right to dislike a movie even though it's a special event in motion picture history ( at least in the scifi genre). nonetheless, here are my reasons why it is a well-made scifi flick.

first of all Jojo, it is a sci-fi strictly because it is set in the future. and as far as i know, there isn't any global infertility problem at the present. illegal immigrants aren't hunted down like wolves in Britain. the world isn't a total wasteland. the movie is sci-fi because it is an allegory of our current situation. immigrants are flocking northwards. people don't make babies as much as they used to and, especially here in Canada, the people who make the most babies are either immigrants or their grown children. it is said that in thirty to fifty years, most people in Canada will be Indian or Asian. you already know what's going down in your own country so no need to mention that. terrorism has become a global problem. just last year, London suffered a major attack and a poor innocent Brazillian immigrant was shot down for looking Arab. you're right, it is a drama, a war movie, as well as a scifi. it's one hell of a great picture.it was directed by the man who directed the best Harry Potter yet (Azkaban) as well as Y Tu Mama Tambien. need i say more?

as for Owen's character, wild guess here, ISTp.
