Children of Men

Recently, I watched the film Children of Men.  This was a movie about a future society, in which a disease caused the majority of women to become infertile.  This has led to war a corruption throughout the world.  The story is based in England, specifically London.  London has become one of the few sane nations left, with many fugitives trying to enter the country.  Sane, on the otherhand, is a very nice word to use for the government has become an oppressing system with extreme efforts to control its citizens.  I really enjoyed this movie because it provided a message of hope.  An intangible aspect in an otherwise very tangible world.  It showed that even in the darkest of times, during a time of war and violence, hope can be found.  The main example of this was towards the end when the baby was walked through the battle and everyone stopped fighting and were awstruck by the presence of the baby.  It temporarily brought hope and peace among the soldiers and rebels.  Though, most of this movie depicted human kind as evil, dark, inhumane, and despicable, the flashes of hope in the movie really made it a great film and enjoyable to watch.
