Children of Men is probably the only movie that doesn't show the future in a tech-advanced futuristic way as in The Fifth Element. It shows the world in year 2027, in a chaos where London is the only city still not yet destroyed by anarchy.
Women on Earth have lost fertility since 2 decades, and the youngest person on earth was killed at the age of 18. One woman is pregnant and represents the hope to humankind.
Many questions and ideas behind this movie. it doesn't even focus on what might be the reasons of infertility.
From Religion side, it asks if humankind can save itself without God and hope. One character in the movie even asks if God is punishing us.
From the Political side, it shows that war still exists and people still fight and kill each other till the day when they know there will be no human being in less than a century. it also shows discrimination, racism and hate.
After almost 20 years without hearing a baby's cry, it was heard among bombs and chaos. People were united for a sec to the hope in the only child on Earth and had faith to carry on again. But after that, the wars carried on.
Not saying much, if you haven't seen it yet, you can still make it. The movie was released on Christmas day.
