Children of Men0

“Children of Men” is a British sci­ence fic­tion film based loosely on the novel, of the exact same name, by Phyllis Dorothy James. Co-written and directed by Mexican film­maker Alfonso Cuarón, the film includes sev­eral act­ing heavy weights like Clive Owen, Michael Caine, and Julianne Moore. Set in the year 2027, in a world of chaos, women of the world have mys­te­ri­ously gone infer­tile and there hasn’t been a sin­gle child­birth for 18 years. A for­mer activist, Theo Faron, played by Clive Owen, agrees to escort a mirac­u­lously preg­nant refugee to the sci­en­tists of a mys­te­ri­ous orga­ni­za­tion called the Human Project.The birth of the child may help the sci­en­tists find a cure to humanity’s inabil­ity to pro­cre­ate, and pos­si­bly save humans from extinc­tion. Ryan Wong ana­lyzes the cin­e­matog­ra­phy, mise-en-scene and edit­ing of the film. Children of Men
