I don't know if any of you have seen the movie Children of Men, I haven't yet, but I heard that a critic called it the "Blade Runner of the 21st century," so I was wondering if any of you could give any comments on that. The critic that said it was Kenneth Turan of the Los Angeles Times. He said "The best science fiction talks about the future to talk about the now, and "Children of Men" very much belongs in that class. Made with palpable energy, intensity and excitement, it compellingly creates a world gone mad that is uncomfortably close to the one we live in. It is a "Blade Runner" for the 21st century, a worthy successor to that epic of dystopian decay." That is only an excerpt of his review, you can see the rest at http://www.calendarlive.com/movies/reviews/cl-et-children22dec22,0,6890626.story. Basically the plot is that it's 2027, set in Britain, and the human race has been infertile for 18 years. Britain is the only place in the world that is still holding on. The movie is based on a book by P.D. James. She summed up the plot of the book with one question "If there were no future, how would we behave?" So anyway I thought it was interesting since we watched Blade Runner in the beginning of the semester.
