      Children Of Men--The Hope To Living On

      It's a movie from a long time ago, but it still looks powerful.

      The world background of the film does not use a very dull introduction but integrates the world view into the life of the protagonist little by little: the death of the youngest human being in the world has made headlines, and everyone is hurt; the euthanasia drug advertisements that...

      Son of Man: "You must watch a good movie before you know it"

      Son of Man: "You must watch it before you know a good movie " "I've always made my films from my own standpoint, and I'm a man of hope. Humanity is astoundingly destructive and equally capable of uniting and overcoming adversity. In the end, Son of Man doesn't It's more about the destructive power of human beings, but about ideological changes after a series of changes." Cuaron has never been interested in science fiction, he emphasized: "I don't want to make a movie about the...

      The seeds of humanity are born

      As far as the plot is concerned, can humans really lose their fertility like this? Thinking about the endless emergence of various infertility problems today, maybe one day this will really happen! The story tells the story of a British man named Theo who is inadvertently involved in helping a pregnant girl Ji deliver and escort her to the "ship of tomorrow". From this film, I saw the disorder, insensitivity, and helplessness of human beings in the face of disasters, and I also saw the...

      Disappointed

      1. Insufficient immersion in the narrative background

      How should the so-called sense of the end of the world be expressed?

      At the beginning, two scenes were used to express

      1. The youngest child was assassinated, except for the male protagonist, everyone around them seemed to be in a comedy, exaggerated tears, which made me subconsciously think it was a satirical comedy again.

      2. Violence, terrorist attacks and refugee conflict, how much this is related to...

      How to interpret "Son of Man"

      How to interpret "Children of Men" is a problem. Interpretation at the technical level is never a problem. Regarding the long shots that Alfonso Cuaron is good at, the important thing is that Alfonso Cuaron has never been a storyteller. He is better at rendering and grasping emotions. . "Children of Men" is as story-wise as Alfonso Cuaron's "Roma" a decade later, but it tells a "sci-fi" movie full of metaphors and emotions. It's interesting to watch such a "sci-fi" movie after more than ten...

    Movie plot

    "Son of Man" is a science fiction film about the future. In 2027, people on the planet will lose their fertility due to unexplainable reasons, and no baby has been born in 19 years. Britain is shrouded in a black that has no future and no future. Most of the negative people gave up all hope in the face of the imminent destruction of mankind. They flouted the law, looted and smashed, and the proliferation of guns turned the city where...

    Movie quotes

    • Patric: This never fucking happened, so don't go telling tales 'cause we'll be watching you. At work, when you sleep, when you have a piss, we'll be watching. All the *fucking* time.

      Theodore Faron: Jeez, your breath stinks.

      Patric: No, it doesn't.

      Theodore Faron: Yes, it does.

    • Jasper: So, the Human Project is havin' this dinner and all the wisest men in the world are there...

      Theodore Faron: [scoffing] Human Project, why do people believe this crap? You know even if these people existed with these facilities in these secret locations, fuck me, that's strong! Even if they discovered the cure for infertility, doesn't matter! Too late. World went to shit. Know what? It was too late before the infertility thing happened, for fuck's sake.

      Jasper: [taking a puff off the joint] I was just tryin' to tell a joke, man.

      Theodore Faron: Oh, I'm sorry, go on.

      Jasper: No, I'm not tellin' it now!

      Theodore Faron: No, c'mon Jasper, go on!

      Jasper: No, fuck it! I'm not tellin' it to you!

      Theodore Faron: C'mon, I'm sorry!

      Jasper: Ok, the Human Project gives this great, big dinner for all the scientists and sages in the world. They're tossing around theories about the ultimate mystery: why are all the women infertile? Why can't we make babies anymore? So, some say it's genetic experiments, gamma rays, pollution, same ol', same ol'. So, anyway, in the corner, this Englishman's sitting, he hasn't said a word, he's just tuckin' in his dinner. So, they decide to ask him, they say, "Well, why do you think we can't make babies anymore?" And he looks up at 'em, he's chewin' on this great big wing and he says "I haven't the faintest idea," he said, "but this stork is quite tasty isn't he?"

    • Radio Announcer: And now one for all the nostalgics out there. A blast from the past all the way back from 2003, that beautiful time when people refused to accept that the future was just around the corner.
