Movie: Children of Men

I recently saw Children of Men, a very good movie. A movie that stays with you. In fact, the last activity of my day on Sunday was viewing the film. I got home and went to bed immediately, I barely slept because all I could think about was the movie. The film is based on a novel written by P. D James and takes place a little over 20 years into the future. The world is a very scary place. The premise is that all women are infertile and the youngest human on earth has died and obviously humanity is facing extinction. Depressing! Depressing! Depressing! Every scene in this movie is depressing. The story is so captivating and very realistic. This element is probably what haunted me the other night. Clive Owen is amazing is in this film. The writer and director Alfanso Cuaron does a really good job. I haven't seen any of his other films, but he has received lots of critical acclaim. The only element that I would have changed in the story would be that men are infertile, as if women need that kind of guilt.
