Children of Men (part two)
Now that the movie is over, it does create a little more clarity on what was actually going on in the movie. Still, there are a lot of things that are unclear, yet that was up to the director. I would still like to know why the human race couldn't have any more kids and why people wanted to kill the baby. Yet, towards the end, everyone was in awe of the baby and the fighting ceased for a few moments to stare and appreciate the life that was created. That surprised me a little. Also, what was going on in the rest of the world? And did the baby and its mother end up getting to a safe place? So many questions, but no real answers. That's okay, though. I feel like being able to guess and use my own imagination works just as well as not really knowing what happened.

That’s my biggest quirk with the movie. It did very little to actually explain the big picture. It tells you only really what is relevant to the story and little more. I would personally really enjoy a backstory or a flashback or something to show how the world got to be the awful place it is portrayed as and how it is that women came to be infertile. However, none of this was provided. I also thought that the ending was incredibly vague. The boat which she had been fighting to get on, well, what was important about it? They made a big deal about finding it without actually explaining what it was. And now that she is on board, what happens next? How is this one little baby supposed to live up to the savior-like role it has thrust upon her? This movie sure leaves a lot of loose ends for us to think about.
