Science fiction is similar to the limit method in mathematics, pushing the world to an extreme, and then turning around and thinking about life and religion. Usually the subversion of the world brings strangeness and madness, and there is no romance and calmness, so all propositions are particularly acute. The film is good, bullets fly. With the conception and birth of newborns, people continue to sacrifice their lives to protect them. There is no justice here. Refugees lose their dignity and rise up. However, the uprising is also full of conspiracy, violence and selfish desires. Only the protection of new life is the highest mission, and the mission is only kept in the hands of a few people. This makes people feel absurd that people who are desperate because they have no success, are still caught in riots in front of babies and can't extricate themselves. In addition, there are no lines in the film that mention the future of mankind, and none of the people who sacrificed for Dylan shouted why I died. Only at the end of the film, the director gave a child's laughter, very restrained, very natural, and very gratifying.

Children of Men quotes

  • Julian Taylor: Y'know that ringing in your ears? That 'eeeeeeeeee'? That's the sound of the ear cells dying, like their swan song. Once it's gone you'll never hear that frequency again. Enjoy it while it lasts.
