The top mistakes in Children of Men http://www.moviemistakes.com/film6242 en Sat, 04 Feb 2012 06:58:41 +0000 142528 There are several shots of monitors which show the time and date. Right before the coffee shop explodes, the date is said to be Nov. 16, 2027, but at the farm house when Luke is playing the newscast, the date is April 2, 2027. Furthermore, when the alarm sounds at Jasper's house, the date is now Dec. 6, 2027. 143164 As Theo is sitting down at his desk, the camera comes up from behind the woman across from him, who has small knick knacks and figurines covering her desk. The shot zooms in on Theo and then switches to the crying woman. When the shot changes, notice the "fat-baby" figurine suddenly switches with two-smaller animal figurines. It's hard to tell what they are, but it's easy to see they've been switched with the baby. 121727 The ping-pong ball that Theo and Julian pass between their mouths is lit inconsistently with the lighting in the car. It also moves independently of the confines of the actors' mouths. The ball was digitally added after filming this scene. 121731 The infant baby was computer animated in every scene in which the face appeared. Even the feet were obviously touched up by computer in the hallway scene. The lighting isn't quite right, the skin texture isn't quite right, and the child's face is just too animated.
