What would you do if the sound of children’s laughter faded
away forever? You’d probably lose hope. This is the story of Children of Men, a
film about just such a tragic idea. In this movie’s world, women are infertile,
they cannot bear children. This means that the populace is aging, and they have
no children to pass on their dreams to. In this dark world comes salvation.
There’s one woman who, miraculously, is pregnant! The story focuses on one man,
Theo, and his role in safeguarding this woman and her baby. Theo is a man who
just doesn’t give a shit anymore, his son died in infancy, his wife left him,
and he, like everyone else, is growing older and even more jaded. Yet despite
such circumstances, Theo begins to believe in a better future again. This is a
movie about hope, and if you have a soul, you will treasure it.
