How do you think the future will be like? 23.01.2007 | |
| These days I've seen 2 movies that are inspired in two very different hypothetic futures.

Idiocracy From the director of 'Office Space', creator of 'Beavis and Butt-head' and others... The movie shows a very stupid future were, in instance, a clock on a big tower (something like the big ben) was swapped fr a digital one and it even was blinking on '12:00'. Hilarious! It also shows one of the movie on that time where you only see an ass for 90min. I've sometimes visions of a family watching altogether the TV where the only thing they show is a shit, just there without anything else... I have those visions when I watch TV with other people and I see them so concentrated with whatever they show.

Children of Men Feel like more real future. If you enjoyed Half-life 2 you'll love some of the action scenes of this movie. I have to say that I was quite impressed about this movie, didn't know anything about it when I saw it after watching it and doing a proper imdb'ing I was again surprised when I read who was the director. The movie is cool, but the final sucks.
Anyway, which future do you chose? I think the one on Idiocracy sounds more probable. Just watch the television, everyday is more commercial and dumb. It's also funny that on this short review of both movies, I had more to say about Idiocracy than Children of Men. You would probably say that you never heard of Idiocracy, that's because Fox didn't want to do a Trailer, or even a Poster for the movie. It was released 2 years after it was done, something similar happened with Office Space too. Apparently they didn't want to release the movie, and in the end it was a real success when it went to DVD.
These things increased my interest for Mike Judge's work. | | posted by ricardo cabello at 05:27 | | 3 comments written so far |
| I tend to think it'll be a mix of both. Somehow "children of the men", as I told you, looks too real.

| yes! same opinion here about children of men movie!
it seems like a rip off from HalfLife!!! same HDR shader presets ;D
Anyway, enjoyable film, but do not like the happy ending, it would be more educational an alone-in-the-fog-until-en d-of-times end ;D
