Total emancipation from oppression in the world lies not in government institutions, nor it’s radical opposition, but rather through redemption for the apathy exercised by otherwise good hearts. The point of view expressed by “Children of Men” is one that truly does cut directly to the core of many of the problems we as a society experience today. A poster on this site stated that Tarkovsky would be proud, and while I’m not sure if that’s necessarily true (he seemed to be impertinent and difficult to please), he along with true filmmaker / philosophers like Kubrick would have at least appreciated the films analyses of the situation presented as a whole, and revealing a balance, rather than picking an extreme side. 5 stars for one of my personal all-time favorites.
