Cease fire miracle scene (Children of Men 2006) (Full HD)

My favourite scene from Children of Men. In the world of Children of Men humanity is on the brink of extiction by simply being infertile. Therefor nobody has anything to live for, so nobody has reason to stop warring. But in this scene embattled refugees in a ruined flat and soldiers see a baby for the first time in their life. They realise they are witnessing a miracle. A very beautiful scene with a very cynical ending..

The most amazing thing about this scene is the difference between the young and old soldiers expressions. The young have never seen a baby possibly ever in person while the old are in awe. This movie will gain a cult following sooo underrated.

Man, I cry every time I see this scene.

[Potatobrains_]

I'm unashamed to say, I believe this is the single greatest scene in movie history. It is perfect.

“It’s a girl, Luke.”

He freezes. Gets me every time 😭

Every single moment in this scene is filled with death, but no one cares. They've seen a glimpse of new life.

They've all lost hope for the future and are fighting to survive in different ways, because they have different ideas on how to save humanity. None of that matters, because they can see right in front of them how their species will be saved.

HOW UNREALISTIC!

No one's L85 jammed on screen.

When you spend decades watching the world crumbling down, and for the first time you hear a baby bawl their little lungs out, it might as well be the shuffle of an angels feet

“I was carrying the baby up the stairs, I started crying. I’d forgotten what they looked like they’re so beautiful, they’re so tiny. Julian was wrong, she thought it could be peaceful, but how can it be peaceful when they try and take away your dignity ?! We need him Theo. We need the baby we need him!”

“It’s a girl, Luke.”

That always stuck with me with this movie. They were all so bent on using this last hope of humanity as a tool for politics they didn’t even know she was a girl.

Everyone’s talking about the soldiers who stop fighting when they see the baby but at 2:27 that guy who is a member of the fishes put his gun down even though he had been ordered by luke to kill Theo on sight and capture kee and the baby but he didn’t I think he felt that Theo should be the one who would help kee and the baby I find that powerful

[MooneLightEntertainment]

1:40 the woman in the background is singing Patty Obassy’s song. She sings in Igbo Language and it’s about the sacrifice of Jesus.

[Bubbertan]

It only takes one idiot to destroy something, and that idiot is the rpg guy. This movie might be one of the best of all time. It's very dark, but has the humanity we all have and need

[Twin_solo_az]

To imagine the emotions of the old women hearing a baby cry for the first time in so long, thinking they’d never hear it again. Powerful.

[DuncanUdaho]

That is going to be one deaf ass baby.

[MrRedd-rpuk]

Literally the hardest I’ve ever cried, for everyone to stop fighting so suddenly for something so small and innocent, they all just forget what they’re doing and look in awe. One of the best displays of raw humanity ever put to screen

[sneedle]

In that moment, that baby is the whole world, the entire future. That tiny baby. It's like the Christ-child. And the simple, mundane things - the soldiers, the building - suddenly become imbued with a holy level of meaning. The shots of them walking through the lower floor of the building look like paintings from inside a chapel.

[WeWantBears]

Everyone just wants to HEAR that baby. To know it exists when some have only heard rumors about it, have never seen one, or haven't seen one in decades and are getting a wave of nostalgia.

[gringosloth]

This is so powerful--each time I watch it I cry uncontrollably. This tiny innocent person can touch so many hearts, can offer the modicum of hope that we all need. Thank you for posting.

[lonewolf]

It's like staring at hope, a light that brighten the darkness, everyone of them stopped fighting cause something that was lost just got found again, this scene was crazy beautiful

[jcmat]

I still can't get over the fact that this movie got overlooked for Best Picture and Best Director Oscar nominations... if there was ever a movie for which Cuaron SHOULD have won the Best Director Oscar, it was this one, far more so than either Gravity or Roma...

[Coalemos]

I am not ashamed to say, this really choked me up when I saw it. This and Schindler's List are the only two films that have done that to me.
