Children of Men

The movie Children Of Men definately was an eye-opener for me. When I think of human society, I think of an organized system of people who work for the mutual benefit of all people. Generally, people are well behaved, and when the system (society) runs smoothly, people tend to live a peaceful and prosperous life. This movie shows us how much organization affects the way humans act. In the movie, the world is in panic since no one can reproduce, and slowly society begins to deteriorate. As the military begins to oppress the civillians, a rebellion occurs, and the two sides become locked in a murderous conflict that is the deterioration of society. The argument of the movie comes from the theme of the movie rather than the main characters.
The conflict of the background is more focused on by the camera rather than the protagonists. This helps show people where they should be focused to understand where the theme is. This film uses pathos heavily to affect the viewer emotionally. The crying baby and the distraught, homeless people are examples of the symbols used to appeal to emotions. This movie had an interesting argument that caught my attention.
