Re: Children of Men
just saw it as well.
horrid movie. a new genre has been created: anxploitation. exploit all the anxieties people have developed from watching the nightly news. spoilers follow...
lets see, lets just go through the list.
flu pandemic? ..... check
pollution? .......... check
alien invasion? ..... check
the whole world looks like gaza?.... check
mysterious species wide dysfunction?...check
nothing interesting was said about above problems, just a drawn out bleak picture of it. Moreover, the whole world is turning out the lights, you'd think things would be calmer, more resigned. No new babies means a collapsing population, means more resources, means people can just do drugs and have sex all day. seems just as plausible.
