Dystopian prejudiced world, where a male protagonist escorts a young woman across war-torn lands. Sarah Watt, Jeremy Downing and William Chen discuss The Creator (2023) and Children of Men (2006). We begin by discussing The Creator and exploring its strengths and faults, especially how great the film looks and how it was achieved with a small budget. We talk at length about the elements of The Creator that left us wanting more. Our conversation then pivots to Children of Men and explores the razor-sharp intention of the film and how it succeeds in what it is trying to achieve. We celebrate multiple moments from the film, especially the cinematography of the film and the impressive long takes. If you enjoy our podcast then consider joining our Patreon.
