Episode 69 – Children of Men
Manage episode 450270701 series 2134081
Bill and Ted discuss Alfonso Cuarón’s 2006 brooding adaption of P.D. James’ 1992 dystopian novel “The Children of Men” where infertility has rendered humanity collectively childless for 18 years pushing the world into a melancholy of despair and hopelessness. Former activist, Theo Faron (Clive Owen), is drawn into a revolutionary plot co-ordinated by a group called ‘The Fishes’ headed by his estranged wife Julian (Julianne Moore) who has come into custody of a young refugee woman with a secret that could disrupt geopolitics and change the course of human history. Cuarón mixes modern photojournalist imagery with innovative long takes and extraordinarily detailed world building designed to produce an immersive viewing experience that delves into spiritual, political and social concerns. Riding the razor’s edge of hope and despair “Children of Men” confronts the value of life and death in the face of demographic winter and looming extinction.
