Children of Men’s opening is the very reason I love films. It’s especially effective when you see it with zero context of what the movie is about (like I did when I saw it as a teen). I remember just feeling so overwhelmed with confusion and awe. And the fact that it’s all one shot. Absolute masterpiece from beginning to end. ❤️

I can still see it today. The opening crawl has faded into the stars and we pan down to the space above Tatooine. The _Tantive IV,_ a CR90 Corvette, enters, firing at something. That something is Imperial Star Destroyer _Devastator,_ which fills the screen as it hotly pursues its target. Imagine the shocked reactions from audiences in 1977, including my then-four-year-old father.

We were just in time and I had a seat on the front row in front of a large cinema screen, bigger than the side of a house. The first scene was absolutely mind blowing. Never been as good.
