Children of Men, the story of a man living in what seems to be the last days for all man kind, relates very much to the themes of such films like Deep Impact, Armagedon, Signs, and War of the Worlds. why? well, like i said, it deals with the destruction of man kind, in this case, really the self-destruction. chaos takes over, it is a world gone mad after the fact that there is simply no more reproducing, women can't have babies anymore. the film does not tell us why, just that it simply cannot happen. there are suggestions as why: pollution, genetic experiments; but it is the reaction of those left that really marks the end. Alfonso Cuaron, shows us a more darkened world than the one we live in today. a great example of it is choosing the location. the location is london, one of the most riches countries today with almost no defects. in the future however, it becomes like another iraq or mexico city, showing the vulnerability that we as men have. but then, a miralce happens, or an accident, and the first woman in more in almost twenty gets pregnant. this is where the story starts. the girl, a fuggie, gets pregnant and is tried to be exported out of the country before it's too late and she gets killed, according to the hippies supporting the human project, or a group of people (the greatest minds) working for a new society. but all goes bad when even those poeple trying to "save" the girl kill one of their own. the main character theo, played by clive owen, then takes the gilr and tries to take to a boat the human project has send and the journey begins. this howver has some contradiction to me beacause if the people behind the human project killed one of their own and also wants to kill theo, why does theo still believe taking the girl to the boat will any safe? butlike all movies, this one has it's glitches. this movie was wonderfully filmed. the cinematography could probably be one of the best i've seen. with almost 15 minute-long scenes and good directing, this movie puts itself in my all time favorite films and in the llist of best films for the year 2006.
