Join Roxy Striar & John Humphrey as they plunge into Alfonso Cuarón’s haunting dystopia Children of Men (2006). In a world where human infertility has led to societal collapse, disillusioned bureaucrat Theo Faron (Clive Owen, Sin City, The Bourne Ultimatum) is roped into escorting Kee (Clare-Hope Ashitey, Africa United, Resident Evil), a miraculously pregnant refugee, to safety. Along the way, they’re shadowed by Julian Taylor (Julianne Moore, Boogie Nights, Still Alice), the fierce former activist intent on safeguarding humanity’s last hope, and pressured by militant enforcer Luke (Chiwetel Ejiofor, 12 Years a Slave, Doctor Strange). Veteran activist Jasper Palmer (Michael Caine, The Dark Knight, The Cider House Rules) provides crucial refuge—and the film’s bleak, immersive vision of 2027 Britain is punctuated by stunning long-take set pieces: the devastating car ambush, the desperate street massacre in the refugee camp, and the epic Bexhill Beach battle shot in one continuous, unbroken shot.

It is the cold habitual And it is the cold of the cold at his summit Cozlight

T'envee a while responsible You have to have the age legal for consuming the alcohol

This week's video is sponsored by Acorns The Money app that makes it simple and cheap to make

small yet significant investments Let's let's children some men Then when you do Roll the boat

Oh my goodness Oh my goodness Did that win a bunch of Oscars? I would be fascinated to know I'm looking forward to trivia on this one It certainly should have Yeah 100%. I guess we can

It's another one of those movies Like oh I need a second to put my brain back together Yeah let's talk about it Roxanne we beheld the children of men baby Diego didn't die in vain

how did you feel oh that movie was amazing I mean I thought that that movie just knocked it out of the park it makes so much sense that it was a book because sometimes we try to rush scripts to screen and this came from source material and clearly

Alfonso Corom was like yeah this is the project I want to do and bring this to life and everybody had It's such a seemingly like personal connection to this story and you can see this being our world. Yeah. The performances were stellar.

The cinematography was out of this world. I love the musical choices in this. Usually I don't point out the lighting in a movie, but holy crap, I thought that that was just like the cherry on the cake or on the, cherry on ice cream? On the Sunday? Sunday.

Cherry on top. Wherever the cherry was, it was chariing. The cherry in a Shirley temple. This is like, honestly, I'm not even kidding. This is one of the best movies I've ever seen in my life. Absolutely. Agree. It's funny.

I can remember the last time I said this. But every so often, it doesn't happen often. But once in a while you'll see something and you'll get to the end. You'll be like, I think I just saw one of my favorite movies. Yeah, that was like perfect. The story. And like even Marika, which we'll talk about everything, down to the last, like Marika seeing a baby and being like I will risk my life to save this child like just that like instinct in her

no matter the circumstance or language barrier or whatever I understand this and I'm going to do all I can for you. And when she takes the baby and leaves to the door and you were worried and I just knew I was like there's no way she knows this is the babe and her mom like it just yeah I was emotional throughout it too when when marika came and she took um what's the guy's name who speaks him third person oh sit When Sid was like When Marika comes and beats him That's when I actually got teary

Because I was like look at her like Giving up everything right now Because we know they have this working relationship too And she's like I don't care I will do whatever it takes to protect It's like when you see those mothers Lift a car off of a kid And you're just like what

It's strength It really reached a point where like I'm trying to remember where the exact moment was But there was a switch that flipped And just like for the rest of the movie there on out i was just kind of like generally emotional yeah they had us by the they had us by the tears by the throat like tear ducts yeah that was just i think that that movie was i mean yeah i thought that was like the most amazing movie it's crazy because before this we were what is this

bono no no no who is this i'm not sure we'll have to check the end of the credits um we were talking before hand and spoiler alert we were talking about whether we were going to be watching this or megamont yes and you were like no i think this is supposed to be like a great movie and i was like is it we're like let's just give it a shot yeah are you in the mood for cinema or are you in the mood for you know like a fun good time and um but i did not expect this to be this like yeah i think prior to this maybe my favorite movie i've ever watched on the channel might be society of snow with you sure because that's that movie just really moved us both also.

Totally. And in a different, but in a spiritually similar way, it really puts you directly next to the characters so much of the time. But this one might be my favorite movie I've ever watched on this channel. And seriously, like, I feel like this is like a top 20 movie of all time. I would agree. Because this is a movie, this is the kind of movie that to me is sort of rare in that it has a little bit of a lot of disparate elements that all kind of come together.

It's like it's got this interesting sci-fi concept, which is like cool and engrossing on its own. But then it also has, you know, a very, I guess, aware political sort of undercurrent to it because there's so much about, you know, refugees and fertility and, you know, the commodification of land and resources and all that. stuff and then you also have and bureaucracy yeah so you've got like that commentary happening you've got the cool like sci-fi concept and then you have like great attention to character details and great performances and juicy roles for everybody on screen like I was sitting here going this seems like an actor's dream and then I was also like this seems like every department's dream because like there is a high concept sort of you know in the conceit that like yeah we're in this dystopian near future where nobody is you know where infertility has uh you know is become like

its own epidemic uh and like there's there's there's like stuff that's cool about that and there is like action and it is exhilarating but it's also like it carries weight in terms of the just emotional lived experience of the characters plus you know the subtext and context that's you know happening alongside all of this and they managed to weave all that together into something that felt just so fluid like it never felt like it was taking a break to be like here's our political message or you know and taking a break to be like well here's some levity for you like everything felt like it happened so naturally and I loved how this this movie I'm trying to think of any other movie that I felt this way about like there's a number of

moments where it's like you'll be following Clive Owen, like when he's outside the window listening to them talking about the real reason we're at the farm, you know, when he overhears the next layer deeper of the truth. Yeah, it's like we're on him and we're watching him for a while

and then we're doing this scene, you know, like through the window and we're kind of panning back and forth a little bit and it's like you're witnessing Clive Owen's part of the scene, but you're also witnessing, you know, the other information happening over here and it's like it'll have this brilliant way of in one shot capturing

the way two things can be happening simultaneously that are pertinent to the story and there were a number in the ending the credits of the kids again and so many shots that would be like you know you're that that scene in the living room where Michael Kane's retelling the story of his kid and we're

just watching him re-experienced this and the rest of the ensemble is like out of focus shanty shanty shanty God like even to the end of the credits this was just like so crafted. 2007, wow. Yeah.

And so, like, even in a shot like that, you've got the ensemble mostly out of focus in the background, but they're all still alive and, you know, both of those scenes that are happening are just as engrossing. And, like, there's so much interesting, again, interplay between the storytelling, the blocking of the characters, the performing, the camera, like, everything felt so collaborative and so kind of interlocked, you know? And, like, the production values and the locations. are so lived in and it's i you know i think any dystopian semi future movie you know always gains

something from having that lived in quality where it's like it's a bit run down it's not like a shiny polished future you have little things that are futuristic like the glove or whatever but like this felt like a really tangible like this could just be reality you know completely yeah and i'm i'm glad that they show like one of my favorite shows of all time is leftovers have you ever seen I've heard so many people. This is so up your alley, you would love it. But what I really appreciate when movies shows do something like this is when we don't spend too much time trying to figure out what happened as opposed to living in the reality.

Yeah. You know what I mean? Like this show, this movie could have been like. I don't need the prequel where they're like, let's find out how people, you know, went infertile. Right. Like it's been 18 years. So I'm sure there are people who are looking into that. But I don't need this movie to spend time explaining to.

us why people are infertile or the theories behind it you know there's like one throw a line like whether it's this this or this um and i think that that is so much smarter because sometimes in our reality we don't know why something is happening we just can only can deal with what is in front of us yeah and the one thing that i do feel like keeps humanity typically is the children right like why anytime you hear any politician whatever side speak they say well we need to clean up the streets for the children we need to clean up the library for the children we need to like whether it's excuses are real everybody's always for the children we need to deal with this for the children and if there are no more children yeah where does our humanity go then there then what is

the purpose of creating a better world yeah what's the purpose of dealing with global warming what's the purpose of dealing with any of the ills that plague the earth and the imbalances that make people suffer right and you also think about It just, this was such a thought-provoking piece because you also think about, okay, so when, like, she, he's saying she needs a doctor. Yeah, okay, because it's been 18 years, doctors are a little more difficult to find probably because. Well, on this kind of doctor who knows anything about babies. Yeah. And so, you know, they would have had to have been a doctor.

They would have had to have been like a 30s or 40-year-old doctor when everything happened to still be probably practicing, like know anything about this. And not only that, but as the generations grow up without babies, eventually it's going to be a world full of 80-year-olds, nobody younger than them. No doctors left who have familiarity with any, you know, just like thinking about all of the things that this would mean. So what would a baby actually do? And the desperation, if you know that there's somebody who is fertile and then what does happen to her or her baby who is a woman or a girl. Well, and if the baby, you know, it's like if she was able to conceive. of a child and she gives birth to a girl could that girl carry on that's what i'm implying right so like when they when he said it's a girl um to the uh uh chilewell who was uh dying what was his

character's name he's yeah whatever he said leo or whatever he says it's a girl leo or whatever um it's like the women in this universe who could do that it's it's it's it's it's giving handmaid's tale, you know, like what could have, whatever it is. So just the fact that. Well, and that, and that I think that moment, too, it has, it pangs a little bit of that sort of like, we always assume it will be a boy child to lead us to, you know, salvation or to, you know, arise to some sort of mantle. And I feel like it's a very fitting choice because, yeah, he's trying to spearhead the revolution, the uprising and thinks that, yeah, we will have this, this boy child, you know. And not that it even, like, changes much in context. I don't think that it's a girl.

But, yeah, it did kind of ring that bell a little bit. Yeah, just hits a little different. Yeah. Yeah, just, I thought that this was, like, I don't want to even say that, but like, kind of a flawless movie. Yeah, I mean, there's not really anything that pulled me out or that dragged. Like, you know, there are moments where you could notice a bit of ADR, I guess. Yeah, for sure, for sure. And especially because 2007, so audio a little different now.

The egg was CG, you know, like I. Yeah, for sure. But other than that, you're talking about the mouth. They're passing it back and forth. I thought that was a ping pong ball. That was an egg. It was it?

I thought it was an egg at first. It could have been a ping pong ball. I really don't know. It got very round. It was so round that I thought of a ping pong ball, but maybe it was supposed to be an egg. I feel like a ping pong ball would make a lot more sense and would track better for how fast they're spitting in each other.

So maybe I misread the shape of that there. Because it certainly looked more round. when it was CG than it did initially when she put it in her mouth so I don't know I feel you but yeah it's like I can only think of course

I'm not saying flawless like there are little nitpicky things that we could like I forget what it was but there's one line in it and I was like that was kind of funny sounding but those yeah those are like little things

that like just pale in comparison to the multitude of impressive and moving work that was culminated here and the part that you cracked up at in my head I was also just like floored by but so realistic they all take this moment for the baby

and then they just go back to fucking shooting Yeah and it's like everybody snaps back And it's like it's so it was so well done Because a moment like that could be cheesy In the wrong execution And it's like to go from the transition Of yeah everybody takes pause

You go from all this chaos To the people inside You know the more sympathetic side of this battle The refugees the people who just want a place to live you know are all taking pause and taking a moment away from shooting to let them through and then it's even more you know sort of moving when you're like even damn even the soldiers are you know at least taking a moment for this and you know part of your brain goes like well wouldn't any of them be like grab it but at the same time they're not necessarily portrayed or communicated as being like you know ranking officers or somebody like that who would have like a conniving reason to do that and so yeah it's like you have this uneasy silence as you move through that moment and it just lets that silence speak for itself and then yeah that mortar comes through and you're just like I guess that's what would happen is if we just go right back rejignation I don't know about you but money used to intimidate me used to it definitely still

intimidates me growing up sure you guys are the same thing too got to start investing early it'll pay off in the future but no one actually taught me how and by the time I realized I needed to start I already felt like I was behind and that's why I'm really grateful for today's sponsor this company.

up in the bank account look a little bit better. It's so familiar to life where you have these real moments that happen and you think, like, I will never be the same again. This is so meaningful. Yeah. But then we just go back to our lives. And it's, it's just enough because, yeah, it's like if they all put down their guns in that moment,

it would be maybe a little too much. Right. It's tragic that they do just go right back. But, like, God, the contrast, yeah. And it would be just like, I guess we just go back to it. Yeah. Yeah. We're all going to tell this weird story about the baby we saw today.

Greg told us before this. He was like, you guys are going to have a lot to talk about afterwards, probably. And I was thinking myself like a normal movie. Yeah. I feel like I could talk about this. for an hour, but I do want to also look at the Oscars thing. Yeah, yeah, see what it would have won for. I mean, I think the

cinematography was really stand out, and I think now that I, now that we're here, I feel like people maybe have mentioned the car scene that kind of sounds familiar to me. Like, that was, there were so many great long takes and things that would be like a play, basically, for the

actors, but it never feels like you're just watching, you know, a play or something like that. No wins. Wow. Three noms. Sure. Um, so it was nominated of the 2007 Oscars because I guess it came out in 2006. Um, yeah. Best writing for adapted screenplay, which as you saw, there was five scribes. Yeah.

Um, best achievement in cinematography. What the hell beat that? Yeah. What? Um, and best achievement in film editing, which Corona was one of the two editors on this. I believe. So, but I, I need to see what won cinematography in 2007. Because both the cinematography and the editing on this are fantastic.

And two, I mean, we live in a time now where long takes are prevalent, but they're also, and inspired, I would imagine. There are many movies that have done them before this, but I feel like this is. For editing that year. Okay. It was nominated was Babel, Blood Diamond, United 93, Children of Men, and the Departed. I love, I'm from Boston. I like The Departed. I love The Departed.

I don't know. Oh, that was for editing. let me see first cinematography because I don't know how you beat this movie I mean sorry to interrupt no you're good I mean like how do you beat this movie for anything I want to see what one best picture this year I want to see everything what what are the winners yeah because like even the this the like the long takes they would do like we're used to seeing more and more of those now and I'm sure partly inspired by a movie like this among others but like these days I feel like you're a lot more aware of when they stitched that stuff together and I thought this was really impressive because they did so many long takes that seemed very authentic and they knew when to introduce a cut or when to look away and yeah there were so many moments I would find myself going

oh this is still just one long shot and they've just been panning to do the editing and like especially when the blood was on the screen it was like oh wow we've been here for a minute yeah it's like it's so impressive but it's also not really that in your face about what it's doing it's just like once you notice it

except for maybe the car scene where you're like how on earth with the way that works out and like the camera gets out the car at one point you're like how do they how okay so this is an impressive year for cinematography I've actually never seen the winner but I hear it's unbelievable

Pan's Labyrinth okay all right I mean I have not seen it either and yes I could fathom how that would I hear that is incredible so all right departed one for directing which I remember that yeah I feel like this is just like

this is I mean like no shade of the departed it's a beloved movie i like that movie a lot too but this i feel like this this is one of those strange cases where i'm like every department clearly contributed massively like you can't take one leg out of any of these but at the same time like it takes a master to pull all this together the way that this came out totally this is still when there was only five nominees for best picture so this year what was nominated was the departed babel letters from eurajima little miss Sunshine and the Queen. I just like don't understand a world in which children of men is not an Oscar winning movie.

Yeah, that's wild to me. It's because that is like truly to me that was so good. Because this is the, again, what does this have on Rotten Tomatoes? Yeah, look it up because I mean this is, again, it's it's that thing I was trying to sort of articulate before that I don't feel like I quite got at. But yeah, it's like this is one of those rare movies that has, again, it's got the cool sci-fi hook. but it's like it's got enough that anyone could enjoy it I feel like you can enjoy this if you're just a casual movie fan and you just want to see something that's got like an interesting again concept and conceit but is just really well executed but if you're a cinephile or you're you know a fan of weighty meaningful projects it has that too and so I feel like it's the rare case of something that could easily please and move a crowd normally but also speak to yeah Somebody who really wants to dig in and find, you know, some richness in their stuff, too. And it's like that I feel like is kind of like the ideal sort of movie to look at for an Oscar. Not to say that like every movie should be that.

But I feel like if you can strike that balance, like that is absolutely worth applauding. And especially if it's as good as this is. Totally. But this is why I think hindsight is 2020 on things like I think the Oscars should be done five years later. Sure. That's when they should be voted on because we just don't know. It has a 92% on Rotten Tomatoes. It deserves a 100.

No joke. All right, let me hit you with a couple trivia before we get out of here. In the movie, the infertility crisis is the result of women being infertile. In the original novel, the result is of all the men producing no sperm. Interesting. That is interesting. Okay. Writer and director Alfonso Caron stated that he didn't want to make a film that ends when the credits roll.

He wanted to make a film that when the final point. credits role. That's really the beginning of the film. Hey. I feel like he nailed that. Nailed that. Holy shit. That's what he set out to do. Boy, oh, boy, did he do that. Sir Michael Kane plays an award-winning political cartoonist in his house. You can see some of the cartoons of the background. They were drawn by Steve Bell, an award-winning political cartoonist for the Guardian newspaper. Well done. Writer and director Alfonso Caron said in one interview that he wanted to shoot this movie, like the Battle of Algiers.

Okay. 1966 rather than Blade Runner, 1982, almost like a documentary about something that happened back in 2027. Funny. I mean, great call. And I feel like, yeah, it absolutely does have that

feeling. It feels like you are watching from the perspective. It's weird. It doesn't feel like there's a cameraman there to me, but you do feel like you are present, you know, and like you're just observing all this. And like, it's so chaotic. and everything that's happening is always overlapping. It's like you're always aware of like the political unrest and the situation,

you know, with all the, you know, collapse of the world and the refugee crisis and all that. You're always aware of it and like there are always people in the street and they're always dogs barking. And they're always, everything they introduce is sort of always coming at it. Like, it's really overwhelming in that sense. A few more interesting things. Theo does not use or even touch a gun at any point throughout the movie. I guess that's right Yeah

I didn't even think about that Sir Michael Kane Base his performance on John Lennon Midmovie You and Jasper and Miriam are talking about good teams

Theo and Julian and Jasper mentioned Lenin McCartney beforehand possibly a nod definitely I mean in the soundtrack obviously It was crazy

Yeah it shouts out to the music Both the choices of needle drops I thought were really nice And some really beautiful score elements You know, like those pulsing, swelling, unsettling choir vocals and, like, even the noise elements they would throw in. I love Michael Cain's, like, crazy, harsh, like, industrial grind music. Yeah, yeah.

The opening terrorist attack in Fleet Street was filmed only two weeks after the real thing happened to devastating effect in London by Al-Qaeda terrorists. Wow. That would be such a wild thing to film two weeks after. Yeah. A writer and direct Alfonso Caron chose not to read the original novel. Let's go. As he feared it would compromise his vision for the project. Wow.

So how did it get to him? I wonder that if he wasn't sitting there reading it going, I got to make this. Like, that's crazy. I don't know, but the author's name is P.D. James, who was reportedly very pleased with the finished movie. I would be too. I, yeah. Having not read the book, yeah, I hope so. There's about a hundred more pieces of trivia on this, but the one that I'll leave you with is strawberry cough is a real strain of Marijuana.

I have heard tell that it might be. Cough? I love. And like that's the thing that. Like even that was like a little through. Like I love when a movie like movies like this don't have to take time for little bits and jokes like that. Even Sid mentions it, you know? And it's like little human elements.

This movie shut me. F up. I was in a jokey mood today and then I was like I don't even care what mood I'm in today. Yeah, no, that's the power of something great. Like, yeah, when you see something great, like no matter what mood you came in with, they can leave you in a good mood walking out.

And like, yeah, this is a movie that I want to keep talking about. 100%. Like, I'm going to go tell everybody, like, have you seen children? Like, I cannot wait to discuss this with people. I cannot wait to, yeah. I understand that it came out. Over, well over a decade, almost two decades ago. However, I'm finally caught up.

and uh and damn yeah damn but now you have to watch leftovers that's your next assignment yeah people do love the leftovers and hey i mean props to the cast on this because like again this seems like an actor's dream this seems like something that would be the perfect cross section of play and movie and uh and yeah you mentioned like where's clive owen been i know he's been in stuff lately but it's been a while yeah since i feel like i've really seen him like as the you know lead i said where's clavo and you said what that that's him But, like, great lead in this. I love the, you know, the whole starting off with the youngest person motif and all that.

Oh, I just watched him and murder at the end of the world. Oh, yeah, yeah. Okay, yeah. You were right about the TV. I completely had forgotten about that. American Crime Story, Manchir Spade. I don't know, some of these shows. We are watching to do.

But, yeah, he's got the perfect kind of demeanor for being that guy who you could believe, like, maybe used to be an activist, is now a bureaucrat and is, like, sort of, yeah, doesn't really have anything to believe in or to live for and now has been given this purpose and then like the actress it was key uh all the other you know people populated you know you got your charlie hunnam in there i couldn't believe that yeah or the the craziest one to me was ed westwick which i was like sure what let me even make sure that was right one scene with dany houston like yeah julian more like and it's another one where yeah it's like there are moment like it's cool that a julienne more would agree to do something like this because like that's not a long lasting amount of screen time but it's a very impactful character and because she was such she's such a celebrity we assume she's not going to die yeah 100% like this was really well chosen in terms of all the cast because yeah you believe everybody and every role gave every i imagine that every role had something for people to chew on and make their own no matter how small my god what do we got

this is like the greatest ever let's hear so pam ferris is the one who was playing miriam okay the one who unfortunately gets pulled off of the bus with the braids and yeah she is trunchable in matilda bro damn in the in the in the original movie like the marr wilson movie oh my god i could see her holy shit all that all that that was absolutely that is the most crazy reveal of all time. That was the greatest discovery. I'm so glad we didn't leave before we just got that. I mean, I have to look up, Trenchbold. Oh, my God. Oh, my God. You know what this reminded me of low-key was like a more, yeah. Oh, my God, that's so wild. You guys might not be able to see this, but come on. This kind of made me think of 28 days later, just with like a way more human threat

instead of zombies in a way like the production like just the I don't know the vibe of this uh trunch bowl's crazy that's crazy it's crazy can't talk trunch ball and I love and that's I love stuff like that and too again like a movie like

this is a great opportunity to yeah showcase an actor you might have seen before in a totally different light like character actors my dude yeah and apparently she's been a bunch of other things too that I've seen and I have not been paying attention well and she was in Harry Potter and the prisoner of Ask a

band she was aunt march oh okay sure i can's got to see her in my mind's eye yeah man well done i mean like that's yeah this is like the perfect vehicle for like a whole bunch of character actors you might have known and too to see this in 2007 before some of these actors were popped off were popped off or or when some of these actors were more in their prime like yeah all that stuff is really kind of fascinating to just behold and engage with but uh but yeah gang we did this is one of the best movies high five what'd you guys think leave us your children of men thoughts

We are in a crisis right now of we have no babies. Not enough. We have no human beings around. So we need to mine your sperm and we need to make sure we can produce a lot of brays. Because we get the sense that you are the kind of person, a woman, we want the sperm from. Get braid. You got, like, you know, strong genetics. You're an athlete.

You're highly intelligent. You're a scientist. You're an artist. There you go. You have all the makings of a successful man. So, Bray, thank you so much for helping us keep Earth going as Earth is slowly collapsing. Really appreciate it. Then we're going to hibernate.

Not hibernate. We're going to migrate all your guys over to Mars. with our new leader Elon. Colony of Bray's. Thank you, Bray, for serving this country and the world.
