The movie is set in 2027, when no child has been born for 18 years and science is at loss to explain the reason. African and East European societies collapse and their dwindling populations migrate to England and other wealthy nations. In a climate of nationalistic violence, a London peace activist Theo Faron joins forces with his revolutionary ex-wife Julian in order to save mankind by protecting a woman who has mysteriously became pregnant. Theo’s role is to protect the girl from harm as a miracle is given to a country that has lost all hope.
I thought the movie showed spectacular acting as Theo Faron’s character showed determination and empathy for the pregnant girl’s circumstances and did everything in his power to protect her and make sure her baby was born.
I thought the colour scheme; the dark greys and dull look really set the tone of the movie and showed how big of a depression state London was in. The dull setting really impacted the viewer’s mood throughout the film. I think that the setting in Children of Men was a very important factor to the movie as it carried the plot and told the story more efficiently.
