To all the guys who have seen, and liked "Children of Men". This movie has quite similar future visions. It is also located in Britain, a future not that far and the other countries seem to be messed-up.
We get very early introduced to the main chararcters in the movie, which makes us lose some (but very less) build-up. But by keeping on watching, everything gets clearer, the build-up stronger and the characters better.
The movie has a very obvious message, but who cares? The message underlines the meaning of the movie, no matter if it is obvious or not. To keep on going with the script: There are so many quotable lines in there, you don't even know what is the best. "We don't invent the news- the government does- we just tell them"
Hugo Weaving. My word Elrond, you are brilliant in this film. How can someone play a character so damn well without showing any facial expressions? We just see his character as this mask, you start to not care how he really looks like, or how he used to. He IS this mask, and we don't want to see what is under it.
The mask from this movie is now used by the internet group "Anonymous" and I really get why. When you watch the ending scene of the movie, you'll know too.
