son of man

In 2027, humans have been infertile for 18 years. This means that human beings have been completely dated. The beginning of the film is that the youngest person gets too much attention and is finally beaten to death, which is an almost deformed longing for life. Suddenly, the male protagonist, who is a police officer, learned from his ex-girlfriend that an African woman was pregnant, and he sent the pregnant woman to the cruise ship Tomorrow. Along the way, his ex-girlfriend and his friends died, and the leader of the refugees wanted to use the child as a political bargaining chip to start a riot... At the end of the film, the baby's cries are accompanied by gunshots, which feels a kind of irony to the war. At that moment, life and death were so close, everyone wanted to touch the child, and the refugees and the military were willing to truce for this child. In the end the man died, before he got on the boat. The child's mother named the girl Dylan - the name of the boy's untimely death. But I am very puzzled. Why do you go to great lengths to put your child on the cruise ship Tomorrow, is it a symbol of the Ark of Doom? Why does the male protagonist never pick up the gun? The cry of the baby falling to the ground is very shocking along with the gunshot. (recommended by director class)

    I like the scene of the last boat going away.

    It wasn't until my classmates tossed and played the scene on the car five or six times before I slowly realized how beautiful the long shots of this film are!
