Count on "art" and "imagination" to create a story where in the future, women not being able to have babies, is actually a problem. Really? I just don't see it… Well author P.D. James sure as hell did, as well as Alfonso Cauron (Y tu mama tambien), Clive Owen, and the rest of the cast, producers, and on and on, who invested in adapting this insane idea into a movie. So maybe it's just me.
Today Apple gives birth to the trailer for "Children of Men". Click here to see for yourself what happens when you're handed a golden ticket and you just don't know what to do with it. Kidding aside (if you could call it that… and no I don't grow tired of this blog style of writing, I just hate reading it), it actually looks quite good… although I could have done without that butchered Sigur Ros track they played over the footage at the end. I liked that song before they used it in the most literal way an instrumental song of that kind can be used. I'm sure the movie's better then that. Synopsis lies ahead.
Synopsis:
Based on P.D. James' novel of the same title, this takes place in the future where people can no longer have children. The story is set in a dystopic society, radically transformed by humans' inability to reproduce and sent into chaos by the news of the death of the earth's youngest person, age 18. When the first woman becomes pregnant in more than 20 years, and thus becomes the most sought-after person in the world, Owen's character is enlisted to protect her.
