Just this week I finally watched “Children of Men” with my husband. I know, I know, I’m a little late to see one of the greatest movies of the year, but I wanted to give my full attention to the movie and before now it wouldn’t have had my focus. (You’ll know this if you’ve been following my blog. You’ll know my twin girls just turned one and well, they do happen to be where most of my focus lies most of the time.)
It was well worth the wait! What a great story, and I promise, I’ll give you a “spoiler warning” if I start talking about something that will spoil the movie for you.
The plot of the story is no secret. The movie is set in 2027, but by the looks of things on the screen, you would think it was a movie based in the Depression era. Things were run down, dismal, gray, and depressing. But here we are in the year 2027 and the world has become infertile. The youngest child in the world is 18 years old.
One character turns up miraculously pregnant after 18 full years of infertility. She is kept a secret for 8 months, goes into early labor, and so…. Is the world changed now? >> More..
