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 years, because many elements have become facts: the rise of nationalism, the expulsion and demobilization of refugees, the nihilism that fills the human spiritual world, the irreversible rush of society Polarized, polarized people can eat in front of Picasso's paintings, and polarized people live like animals. Here, the story of human beings without children is just an introduction. It is an introduction that the spiritual world of mankind has come to the end of the world, and the political society has also entered the end of the world. Through such an introduction, the end times that many things have become reality after more than ten years are unfolded. Times, of course, also expresses the author's theme of "life is faith". In any case, it's terrifying to see these dreadful scenes becoming reality little by little, and the "Tomorrow" that symbolizes the author's hope has not come. Many details are quite interesting. For example, there are many advertisements for a drug in the camera. On the bus and on the big screen, it is called Quietus, which is the suicide drug Jasper finally gave to his wife, which is "quiet us", and mentions " The government distributes suicide pills and depression pills to the public as a soothing drug."
