Anybody seen the movie "Children of Men"?

Recommended Posts

Just watched the DVD last night. Kind of a strange story, some virus renders the world's women unable to have children, and thus no babies are born for 18 years, worldwide... Goofy, eh? Until one woman gets pregnant and a group is trying to get her out of England safely.

Even then, it was okay. Good action and a very intense urban war battle in a refugee city near the end.

I have seen it. I thought the movie did a great job of portraying what keeps humanity in check and how the world could be affected if people didn't care at all about the future.

Seeing it in the theater I was quite moved by it. The whole thing was put together really well. They might have done a better job explaining things, but I have to wonder if they didn't purposfully leave it to the viewer to fill in the blanks based on thier own life experience.

Read the book...it's MUCH better :)



That's usually the case. Most books are better reading than the movies made out of them. I was looking it up last night online too.

Best bit of all. The song that plays over the closing credits. Jarvis Cocker singing "Cunts are still running the world". A perfect sentiment expressed in three minutes.
