Children of Men
Honestly, I have no idea what is going on in this movie. I can only make a guess and even that isn't saying much. For some unknown reason, the fertilization rate is decreasing and women are no longer having children. With only one group (I forgot the name), making a safe haven for humans indicates that something is going wrong in the government or they are trying to control the population. With one girl being pregnant, she needs the help of adults who kind of have an idea of what is going on because she has never seen a pregnant woman before. A group she thought was safe actually wants to kill her baby. But why? Maybe they feel the government will come after them as a group if they find out about the baby. Maybe the group is part of the government and wants to find answers as to why women cannot have babies anymore. But, could the government be directly involved with this phenomenon to create a certain type of population in society? I can only make guesses because this movie is extremely different than most and one that can be open for interpretation.

The movie is very vague on many things. I think it tries to leave a lot of it up to interpretation, but it also doesn’t specify these things to make people wonder and actually consider why everything is the way it is. While I do wish there was a better explanation of what was going on, I do think the movie would have had a totally different effect and message if they explained every little thing that was going on. It is a little annoying and does make it a little hard to watch at times, especially in the beginning. But, it’s all part of the director’s rhetoric.
