Children of Men Screening Notes

We are on a bus. The policemen, dressed as intimidating as possible, are on the bus with dogs. The chaotic talking as ceased and turned to hushness. Our heroine is about to birth a baby, and she can't hide it. They tell her to stop and she can't they start to remove her, and her helper stands up and starts praying to the gods. She had been doing so in her seat at a low mummur. They sit her down and she does it again. They decide to take her off the bus they are on. They grab for the pregnant girl, but Clive Owen stops them. Shouts piss as if in a different accent. They look. Her water has broke. They look disgusted by what they think is piss. He leaves her, and Clive Owen immediately goes to her. The nanny is now on the floor with everyone else. It looks like abu grabe, where mutlple lines of naked men are being attacked by dogs. The bus starts moving as we see the nanny's face....for the last time, a black hood being placed over her head. The bus continues, and we see more hooded men being taunted and caged. Further along... and the men becomes bodies, laid out and tossed away.

A Single Man Screening Notes

A Single Man

Lol, Jon Hamm is the voice as the cousin who gave the bad news. That was very distracting.

The tap dancing in slow motion must have looked so awkward in fast motion.

Oh no, I hope that the putting of the gun in his briefcase and the slow motion pointing and firing of the gun to the little Indian doesn’t foreshadow anything.

I like that when she smiled the light got significantly brighter in the shot.

When they grab their sharpeners and discuss the colors, he has yellow binders behind him and the boy has a red sign behind him, I found that to be very interesting. I wonder if that will be a general pattern that will be continuing.

There’s a consistent obsession with our filmmaker and eyes.

A faint ringing of a phone as he leaves his office, also wonder if that will be a pattern that will be continuing.

It’s pretty ironic that he is so organized, don’t you think?

Ringing phone will probably stop this from happening. Or not.

HA. Called it.

Well, a moon that color is exceptionally rare.

And then he has a heart attack. I happened to notice that the alarm clock made a bell sound (ringning) when he fell over and died. Coincidence? Cinephelia? Possibly, maybe not. But we’ll see.

I can’t tell if he’s dying, or in pain, or dead. There’s a lot of movement. And there goes the color. I believe that was yellow rug behind him?
