Lately we have starting watching movies again. The Departed is a nice thriller, with a predictable final twist, even though very far from the conventional US action movie. Well acted and directed, keeps your eyes on the screen all time long.
Children of Men is the most beautiful film I have seen in ages. Imagine a world where human beings are unfertile for 18 years, i.e. from 2008 on. How will it look like? Children of Men tries a descriptioin. As every science fiction, today's trends are extrapolated, and whether the writer is a pessimist or a optimist decides how dark the movie will be. But this one escapes from the technological miracles of the conventional futurism, and just brings to the extremes the fragile balance on which our modern society is founded. A real masterpiece.
