J'adore cette version de cette chanson de Brian Jones et Keith Richards, Ruby tuesday. A la fois douce profonde et forte. Un diamant... J'adore ce film Children of men,profond et fort..et un peu triste à la fois...
Yes it's underrated...it's easily amongst the top of sci-fi movies. It's just that the Hollywood loving mentally challenged audiences have a hard time understanding it. Transformers is more to their liking...you know..."bang, boom, big robot, piss, yeah more robot, me like big robot, boom, fuuun, me fuun!"
I watch the Film in this moment at the first time. thank you to post this song with the titel to find it fast :-) Great Song.. and now i watch the rest of the film :-))
i am agree, i enjoy from 20 years this great artist named franco battiato. If you listen the pieces in album "fleurs2" you can dram with remake of fantastic song that franco (and this is fast incrdible) makes even better than original.
sorry mate, but this movie takes The Road (the movie not the book) and takes a big dump on it and never calls it again in my opinion. This film is not only frightening, graphic and immaculately shot (not to mention written), but bitterly, bitterly sad. One of the best films ever without a doubt. peace

I don't like watching any film more than once in about.. 6 months period. (Yeah ..odd idc)
But dude, I could watch this all day!
And this song haha, It really does fit the scenes it's involved in. Within all the caos that these people are in, is such a mellow song. And yet sadly depressing.
I can't say there was a best scene in the film, maybe literally just the scene with Jasper going into the house with the box for his wife and dog. Gah.. that was sad :'(
This movie is so underrated. Owen's character was great. He believed the the child could bring peace so he kept trying his best to keep them safe. He lost people who were close to him and in the end he still sacrificed himself for the baby and the mother. My favorite scene was when theo was caught in the crossfire while finding the baby. I showed this film at least six times to my friends and families and they enjoyed it.
And Clive Owen himself in this role is underrated, he starts off as a guy who has no hope and turns into a hero with the hope that the baby will bring the piece.
Should have been nominated for a bafta or an oscar :)
@trampleking83 My favourites parts have always been whenever they show the state of things, like the scenes at his friend's home, the city, etc. It's so surreal.

So yeah, Great movie my mother reacted that people would 'never be like that' but seen the storyline and events happened prior to the movie they would. Just because you don't like it doesn't mean it won't happen.
It really makes me think, because THIS is already happening in other countries like Irak, India and so on. And the people getting killed is innocent, they could have bin ME and my family. But everybody's like "they are not like us, they're terrorists" but they are like us, not all of them are terrorists. They just don't look like I do and speak the same language as me. But they are ME.
It's about despair, not terrorism. Just think; it is a dystopian society where man no longer can reproduce, the only reason to live is to se everything end...
I always get so depressed, but yet amazed by this movie. It feels so horrible thinking, is terrorism going to ruin the world? Is my peaceful country going to be in a war in just 70-100 years time?

maybe the screenplay was a little weak, but i believe the story wasnt. the premise of the human race becoming sterile is just a backdrop to society being pushed to its limits, the reasons as to why we become sterile is not important.
originally this song be band rolling stones ins't it? blast.. this movie one of my fav brilliant! yes in this movie as it shown many problems with emigrants.... i see now i understand why i am half british i like atmosphere in this film it so abandon experimental....and that scene with the child *like in holy bible* sorry for my english! (im russian)
This is possibly my favourite film for a long time - and the song is also really, really good. Films like these make me proud to be British (with the exception of the caged up immigrants).
The fertility thing, maybe not, but some of the other things, like the political injustice, enviromental destruction, terrorism, military dominance and totalitarian governments, we're already on our way there.
Maybe so but this version suits the tempo and mood of the film. Dick Gaughan, the Scottish folk singer also covers this song (as yet unposted). Such a good song, great movie.
Love this song, but the movie is in a different league. Its a work of art, And a very realistic future if you take out the part of no children. But even with that it creeps inside you. weird...
Great job, this video is really cool, I loved the film and you did a good job capturing the way it felt to me. I like this ruby Tuesday cover also. Well done.
the long scenes made this film for me, i also liked that the depression was able to get inside and thats why i love this movie, not because i like being depressed but i like movies that can move me......the stork joke was fuckin funny to
Fantastic song but the movie is in a whole great acting could have been improved but some but not all but they played the parts their own. I think it is a very moving film but did not incorperate the book all that well. Still no matter what is said it is a classic in my list mainly because of the camera during the running scene to get her and the baby out of the cross fire and the beautiful morbidity of the whole film.
This movie is sensational, it's so good and really makes you think about terrorism and the tragedies of the 19th century. I also love this version of the song, which Franco Battiato album is it on?
Judging by the videos you have selected in your Favorites, I would say that you know "shit" about what you are talking about.
Don't like Children of Men? That's fine, but when you say its a horrible movie, then, well, you have issues.
You need to shut the fuck up, and go die in a fucking hole you compelte idiot. You do not deserve the right to be seen, or talk in public, or in any other manner.

Oh my God, I can barely even think of the appropriate words to describe Children of Men. Maybe I could begin by saying that this movie is the biggest, darkest skidmark ever to have soiled the underwear of the movie industry. Alfonso Cuaron should be arrested in the middle of the night, dragged out into the street and publically beaten to death with his own director's chair, for crimes against our intelligence. In summary, Children of Men is totally and utterly shit.

This was one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. They captured perfectly how society in the near future could be. I was especially fascinated by the various religions and faiths that are noticable in the film. Humanity seems to have lost trust in itself, obviously :D.
this song is really best matching to this film. i just love it. and these scenes really mirror the spirit of this song exactly and of the film of course too
It's obvious most of the fans of this movie are fascinated with doom and gloom. Well, just wait 'til after the '08 olympics. Like Nazi Germany, China will showcase its might, then unleash it on the rest of the world. Taiwan first, then oil rights in the South China Sea. We're all gonna' get nuked. So enjoy your certain fate.
Oh no China's gonna win the olympics, take over Taiwan using their nonexistant navy and laughably small air force, and then nuke the entire western world. Meanwhile the U.S. aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines in the region are just gonna watch as the whole mess goes down. Who's really fascinated with doom and gloom?
You forgot the 7 million plus army. But you're correct that I love doom and gloom so much I keep watching this clip and fantasizing about singing a duet with the bad Arnold Schwarzengger impersonator - "Gooodbye loooby tooosday" - then dying on a rowing boat with the worlds worst actress.
Right, 7 million 5ft. tall Chinamen toting poorly made Kalishnikov ripoffs are going to seize and retain control of Taiwan with no air cover or means of maintaining a supply line. How are those 7 million midgets going to get to Taiwan in the first place without a navy? Are they going to make a people bridge out of all those Chinamen and then role tanks across it? And of course China plans on blowing it's ICBM wad without any fear of a retaliatory strike by every nation within NATO.
The AK-47 is very reliable and easy to repair. Not all 7 million would got to Taiwan. NATO and the UN are impotent. And never underestimate your enemy - all together now - "Iraq".
So are the M16A4 and the M468 assault rifles used primarily by the American military. Same goes for the M248 SAW and Barret .50cal sniper rifle. The UN may be impotent but NATO certainly isn't. And don't start mouthing off about Iraq. You'll ruin your already lacking credibility as soon as you start spilling your left wing propaganda about how we're losing that conflict. If we lose which I doubt it'll be because you your ilk wanted us to lose just so you could say you were right.
LEFT WING!! ME - now that's just plain rude. Okay, Okay. You guys win the thread. I bow down before your infinite wisdom, superior credibilty, and Sicilian-ness.
It's well known that you should never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when a cherry cover of an o.k. song is on the line.
The scene in this film when he drives through town and you see all the misery and this music is played i think is the strongest of this whole inc readable film
Children of Men is definitely one of the best/saddest/most disturbing movies I've ever seen. Alfonso Cuaron did an excellent job with this movie. I was wondering who sang this song in the movie too. He's Italian? I thought he sounded Russian. He sings it really well and I do like it slowed down like this but credit really has to go to the Rolling Stones for writing it and doing it first.
One of the most emotionally disturbing videos I've ever seen, beause the quick decay and collapse of humanity and a government's struggle to hang on to power felt so real. Urban battles in ruins, rise of extremist groups, human life valued by none, the gun decides who has power and who doesn't.
Great song, good video. Don't jut DVR CoM, buy it on BluRay and watch it in HD, you haven't seen movies till you've seen HD.
I DVR'd Children of Men. It is an awesome movie. I have watched it 4 times now, picking up on something new each time. A very realistic possibility of the near future given world event of present. Ruby Tuesday is one of my fave songs from the movie. I encourage all to rent or buy it. Worth the time and money!
I loved this movie. Its pretty full of emotion and it's open for several interpretation. One of the best thing is that the awful reality depicted is not so far to be true in our real world we already live in, and this kind of "realism" is one of the best traits of this film. Plus, along this depiction of reality we see like we are riuning the world like we are totally forgetting that humankind should perpetrate itself. If we deserve it. I hope that we do.
for me, this version of rt by battiato is better than every one, and children of men could be the best film in 2006...cuaròn is a very good filmaker T_T
The films amazing, totally English. it doesnt relate to anything American, fuck even the sound of crows as they go to the Fishes safehouse reminds me of early morning here.
The realism involved is immense, the part where Julian is shot is not drawn out into some huge sequence, its over in seconds.
Its a perfect movie, not over dramatised at all like USA films generally do.
i dont understand what you mean by the best action sequence ever ruined by an annoying baby crying.. the action sequence wasnt ruined, the point was that at the sound of the baby crying they stopped fighting, even just for a moment because they saw some hope, and they were fighting because they had lost hope in life, and as a consequense of this had lost reason for morality. The baby didnt ruin anything.. it was a symbol of humanity.
You can't really be that dumb can you antichrist. Did you completely miss the riveting action, the excellent acting, the atmospheric set direction, and the disturbing parallels between today's world and the future world in the movie.
Oh, by the way - the Abu Ghraib symbolism was already worn out when "V for Vendetta" used it, which in hindsight was the better movie. It had more to say about the dangers of totalitarianism . Remember V's speech?
Good work with the video. It's a great underrated film.

This movie is sensational, it's so good and really makes you think about terrorism and the tragedies of the 19th century. I also love this version of the song, which Franco Battiato album is it on?
notblondeswede 3 years ago 3
The 19th century indeed, I do also really regret the Irish Pato Famine of 1845. Great vid by the way, everyone should have to see it.

Judging by the videos you have selected in your Favorites, I would say that you know "shit" about what you are talking about.
Don't like Children of Men? That's fine, but when you say its a horrible movie, then, well, you have issues.
You need to shut the fuck up, and go die in a fucking hole you compelte idiot. You do not deserve the right to be seen, or talk in public, or in any other manner.

Oh my God, I can barely even think of the appropriate words to describe Children of Men. Maybe I could begin by saying that this movie is the biggest, darkest skidmark ever to have soiled the underwear of the movie industry. Alfonso Cuaron should be arrested in the middle of the night, dragged out into the street and publically beaten to death with his own director's chair, for crimes against our intelligence. In summary, Children of Men is totally and utterly shit.

This was one of the greatest movies I've ever seen. They captured perfectly how society in the near future could be. I was especially fascinated by the various religions and faiths that are noticable in the film. Humanity seems to have lost trust in itself, obviously :D.
Great job, I'm a fan!

It's obvious most of the fans of this movie are fascinated with doom and gloom. Well, just wait 'til after the '08 olympics. Like Nazi Germany, China will showcase its might, then unleash it on the rest of the world. Taiwan first, then oil rights in the South China Sea. We're all gonna' get nuked. So enjoy your certain fate.
rbwannasee 4 years ago
Oh no China's gonna win the olympics, take over Taiwan using their nonexistant navy and laughably small air force, and then nuke the entire western world. Meanwhile the U.S. aircraft carriers and nuclear submarines in the region are just gonna watch as the whole mess goes down. Who's really fascinated with doom and gloom?
roonalwazlib 4 years ago
You forgot the 7 million plus army. But you're correct that I love doom and gloom so much I keep watching this clip and fantasizing about singing a duet with the bad Arnold Schwarzengger impersonator - "Gooodbye loooby tooosday" - then dying on a rowing boat with the worlds worst actress.
rbwannasee 4 years ago
Right, 7 million 5ft. tall Chinamen toting poorly made Kalishnikov ripoffs are going to seize and retain control of Taiwan with no air cover or means of maintaining a supply line. How are those 7 million midgets going to get to Taiwan in the first place without a navy? Are they going to make a people bridge out of all those Chinamen and then role tanks across it? And of course China plans on blowing it's ICBM wad without any fear of a retaliatory strike by every nation within NATO.
roonalwazlib 4 years ago
The AK-47 is very reliable and easy to repair. Not all 7 million would got to Taiwan. NATO and the UN are impotent. And never underestimate your enemy - all together now - "Iraq".
rbwannasee 4 years ago
So are the M16A4 and the M468 assault rifles used primarily by the American military. Same goes for the M248 SAW and Barret .50cal sniper rifle. The UN may be impotent but NATO certainly isn't. And don't start mouthing off about Iraq. You'll ruin your already lacking credibility as soon as you start spilling your left wing propaganda about how we're losing that conflict. If we lose which I doubt it'll be because you your ilk wanted us to lose just so you could say you were right.

It's well known that you should never get involved in a land war in Asia, but only slightly less well-known is this: never go in against a Sicilian when a cherry cover of an o.k. song is on the line.

Children of Men is definitely one of the best/saddest/most disturbing movies I've ever seen. Alfonso Cuaron did an excellent job with this movie. I was wondering who sang this song in the movie too. He's Italian? I thought he sounded Russian. He sings it really well and I do like it slowed down like this but credit really has to go to the Rolling Stones for writing it and doing it first.

One of the most emotionally disturbing videos I've ever seen, beause the quick decay and collapse of humanity and a government's struggle to hang on to power felt so real. Urban battles in ruins, rise of extremist groups, human life valued by none, the gun decides who has power and who doesn't.
Great song, good video. Don't jut DVR CoM, buy it on BluRay and watch it in HD, you haven't seen movies till you've seen HD.

I DVR'd Children of Men. It is an awesome movie. I have watched it 4 times now, picking up on something new each time. A very realistic possibility of the near future given world event of present. Ruby Tuesday is one of my fave songs from the movie. I encourage all to rent or buy it. Worth the time and money!

musclesman505 4 years ago
I loved this movie. Its pretty full of emotion and it's open for several interpretation. One of the best thing is that the awful reality depicted is not so far to be true in our real world we already live in, and this kind of "realism" is one of the best traits of this film. Plus, along this depiction of reality we see like we are riuning the world like we are totally forgetting that humankind should perpetrate itself. If we deserve it. I hope that we do.

The films amazing, totally English. it doesnt relate to anything American, fuck even the sound of crows as they go to the Fishes safehouse reminds me of early morning here.
The realism involved is immense, the part where Julian is shot is not drawn out into some huge sequence, its over in seconds.
Its a perfect movie, not over dramatised at all like USA films generally do.

i dont understand what you mean by the best action sequence ever ruined by an annoying baby crying.. the action sequence wasnt ruined, the point was that at the sound of the baby crying they stopped fighting, even just for a moment because they saw some hope, and they were fighting because they had lost hope in life, and as a consequense of this had lost reason for morality. The baby didnt ruin anything.. it was a symbol of humanity.

Good movie. Interesting how people with nicks like "Antichrist" need to comment on people's sanity because they like a film.^^
As sidenote, because someone mentioned V for Vendetta (which I also did like)... both movies were shown as double feature 4 days ago here, on pay TV.

You can't really be that dumb can you antichrist. Did you completely miss the riveting action, the excellent acting, the atmospheric set direction, and the disturbing parallels between today's world and the future world in the movie.

Oh, by the way - the Abu Ghraib symbolism was already worn out when "V for Vendetta" used it, which in hindsight was the better movie. It had more to say about the dangers of totalitarianism . Remember V's speech?
