baita

This is today, 2024, even though one could see the path the world was taking years ago, it's still hard to believe...

Can anyone go into more detail as to what he meant to say with Jaspers character, being a form of decadence?

I always hated this movie, it represents an extreme reaction to the hyper real. Half the population in any given country wouldn't pull a hair for why YOU think capatilism ends here or communism is good or bad because this reason. In a fools ramblings, like in this movie or Zizek's conclusion there is a drop of truth though but the over all picture. Absolutely does not make any sense. He mentioned UK not needing a constitution as it relies on its tradition and culture to fill in the gaps.. true and don't we all? Democracy, constitutions, communism, capitalism. Thin, weak, embarrassing. Like picking a sports team, choose the colors and flag that resonates with you and march off into artillery fire. Without Jesus Christ the living God, there is only folly and darkness. Open an old Bible, research for yourself the ways in which the prophets lived and experienced life and just try it. Our creator intends for us to live very differently to how we currently do, this problem > reaction > problem paradigm is cooked up in a mind separated from the divine. There is only one way and the path is narrow and fraught with horrors beyond our comprehension. So it was and so it ever will be.

Žižek is projecting his own feelings onto the Jasper character, though - for Cuarón himself, Jasper represented something warm, human, rebellious, humorous - not something "vulgar, ridiculous, impotent", etc. That's why he had Michael Caine play him as though he were playing John Lennon. And ultimately, Jasper sacrifices himself for humanity by staying around to divert the fascists - that's not impotent or ridiculous at all...

Can we appreciate how perfectly he pronounced "Y tu mamá también"?

Death of the family tree in man, is no easy thing to cut. Tradition and history goes deeper than Zizek dares to admit. Better to search for the unknown.

I speak from 2023, just four years away from when this film is set. What is happening in the U.K., France, Belgium and Scotland is the perfect recipe for what this film depicts, aside from global infertility of course. Brexit and covid were the double whammy this nation needed to isolate itself like this. And with the stronger control of public opinion, it’s quite likely Britain is the last to collapse, not because of strength, but because of division. Unlike France and Belgium, and even Russia, the U.K. populace is unable to riot and stand together because we are all so divided amongst ourselves, there is no one unifying cause to fight for. So the emergence of rebel factions in the next couple of years, especially with the political landscape recently, is most likely in Britain. Followed by extreme governmental crackdowns whilst the world around us undergoes societal collapse. Honestly, I’m not a conspiracy theorist. The Earth is round, NASA is real, hell, no jet fuel doesn’t melt steel beams but it’s perfectly capable of reducing its integral structure at 2kC. But this here, is fucking real. Prophetic. The only inaccurate thing about it all is that it’s set in 2027, id argue we’ll be there a year or two before!

Amazing movie

I'm so unimpressed by Zizek

Children of Men is an excoriation of the transnational capitalist class, corporate greed, and pollution. Political-Corporate phonies as well. Plastics, pesticides, medications all getting into our food supply HAS effects on our human population. We're fundamentally NOT supposed to be exposed to all these chemicals in mass. Of course it has effects. Of course it takes place in 2027 too. We're at the prepuces of it. have been for some time.

He's right about the hippies.

very interesting this perspective

man, that stuff is really good. can you tell sth about how you configured live/launchpad to achieve that MLR-like functionality?

I don't think the Ark of the Arts is devoid of spirituality, quite the opposite. Assuming the project isn't just confined to the single gallery we see in the movie (and Battersea power station leaves a lot to be desired as any kind of Ark), then the AotA represents a leap of faith in the face of death. Maybe the artifacts are launched into space, or buried deep underground, but the idea of preserving our history and culture, for any possible future archaelogists to discover, either extraterrestrials or some other form of intelligent life following in our footsteps on Earth is anything but uninspired.

I love Children of Men

Where is this from?

The book makes me think of the Gulag Archipelago

It's a Liberal Stalinist government.

Why don’t you just be a good neckbeard, open your own Deb /Nextcloud server and get on the IRCC. There’s no point in running software like this on a blockchain, unless you just like the pyramid scheme aspects

What do you like better? Children of Men or V for Vendetta? They are both my favorite movies.

One of my absolute favorite movies.

The AI for creating the english subtitles is just not ready for Zizek yet ^^ .

"Sick network." Nice.

Thinking the boat over something without roots had nothing to do with it. Sea it as a return to nature. The sea where we evolved from.

Feelum

He lost me in places, especially when he started dragging some overly literal sociopolitical interpretations about england.. then they started to make sense more.. and his observations about generational pain, were painfully on point, in my opinion.

oe esta en spotify?

uuuuf que nazi

RUclips, I promise you now I will never buy a chromebook because of all your fucking ads for it

Would be really interesting to hear a conversation about this film between Alfonso Cuarón and Slavoj Žižek.

'You see in the background that London is still a shithole, thank God I don't live there, and so on and so on...'

"...this old, obscene, impotent, retired hippie person" lmao

Children of men is a punch in the gut.

The biggest problem I have with this great film is that it didn't take artificial intelligence into account. It's just impossible for the postpandemic version of me to take it seriously. I wish I would have watched it in 2007.

seems like a good effort to me! thanks

based

Hiring a neurotic pervert that's almost impossible to take seriously as the primary popularizer of Marxism in the west was a rather smart move on the part of the capitalist elites.

This is what Raoul Ruiz calls in his book "Poetics of cinema vol. 1", the photographic subconscious, the idea that the real story is in the background

subtitles act like he's jamaican

It's almost like what's going on today....just without a pandemic.

Zizek is the grossest, most foolish man to ever live.

His Spanish pronunciation of "Y tú mamá también" is spot on. Does he speak Spanish as well?

Guess he really liked this movie

zizek could narrate a spongebob episode and still be interested

is great filem

How does Žižek pronounce Spanish so well and English so badly 😂😂

Of course Zizek likes Children of Men, because it's a dystopian nightmare like the Marxist drivel he spouts.

How is that he pronounce Spanish better than English? He pronounce the title of Cuaron's other film "y tu mamá también" perfectly.
