Play this Seamus read the blog and messaged me today to say that his new top film is "The Good Shepherd", directed by Robert De Niro. Definitely one to watch.
What I caught tonight was "Children of Men". Another excellent movie.
Children of Men is an Academy Award-nominated 2006 dystopian thriller film directed by Alfonso Cuarón, loosely adapted from P.D. James's 1992 novel The Children of Men. The cast includes Clive Owen, Julianne Moore, Chiwetel Ejiofor and Sir Michael Caine.
The film portrays London in the year 2027, in a world where the human female population has become infertile. The last aging generation has lost hope for the future and human societies have fallen apart. Waves of refugees descend upon Great Britain, which has become a police state, where all foreigners are declared illegal immigrants and subject to deportation or sent to internment camps.
The image painted of the future world is a scary one indeed. One critic described this movie as "28 Days Later" meets "V for Vendetta". Quite apt but I think there's a far more superior story here."IN 20 YEARS, WOMEN ARE INFERTILE. NO CHILDREN. NO FUTURE. NO HOPE." Scary thought indeed. "BUT ALL THAT CAN CHANGE IN A HEARTBEAT." Watch it!

To think that man would be concerned in the later days about the infertility, and eventual dying out of the human race...
For these are the end days..
I think it is frightening when man no longer has anything to live for. Does one feel better if one knows the end is not in one's lifetime? I guess that'll be alot easier to live with.
