I usually hold fan videos in disdain; they're typically both insipidly literal and grievously sentimental. But this envisioning of Alfonso Cuarón's palpably futuristic "Children of Men" set to Gary Jules' melancholy remake of "Mad World" might be an exception. It's not perfect, but it's certainly a far cry from the usual YouTube fare.
That song just fits the overall feel of the movie so well.
ReplyDeleteIt interesting the difference in reaction my husband and I had to this movie.
At the end I was basically sitting there with my mouth hanging open, while he let out a "Pssht, whatever."
It's hard to do sometimes, but I love him. ;o)
I loved the movie but thought it was far too optimistic. No, I'm not kidding.
ReplyDeleteI believe you. In a way, I thought they took an easy way out. Plus Clive Owen's character died, and that pissed me off. ;o)
ReplyDeleteHow anyone could "Pssht, whatever" this movie is beyond me. I loved it. This movie haunted me for days. Good video here, Mac. Thanks for posting.
ReplyDeleteOMG! I LOVE THIS SONG!!! And I LOVE THIS MOVIE. So I suppose this combination of the two works for me.
