Can I shoot? I got a clean shot. *thud* F**k off. We are discussing the movie Children of Men this week with Brandt Hughes from the YouTube channel Emergent Beacon. Brandt brings up a quote from a previous episode of this show where Willie says he doesn't like ambiguity in movies, and Brandt challenges Willie's thinking that perhaps there's specific ambiguity that Willie doesn't like. Plus, the cinematography of this movie is exquisite and Brandt talks about the long continuous shots that are in this movie and how they pull it off and why does Theo not take advantage of Jasper's diversion tactic against The Fishes?
