Future
I saw Children of Men this weekend. I was very impressed (my wife wasn’t completely satisfied). The movie is an immersion in a future society where women have gone infertile for some mysterious reason. And then there is hope, and some serious drama as the movie unfolds.
Are we seeing more visions of the Apocolypse lately? This movie is bleak but certainly ends on a hopeful note (I wonder if there were alternate endings). Are we in an artistic period where movies are designed to scare us a little bit more (ala Inconvenient Truth)?
