Very few films feel as dystopian as this. It's so lived in and miserable that it feels so uncomfortably real.

Every channel seems to be watching this lately, and I don't mind one bit. Absolutely incredible film.

Director Alfonso Cuarón intentionally filled Children of Men with animals. They are there for several reasons. One, is that they serve as surrogate children for humans with no children. But the biggest reason is to show the importance of Theo. All the animals he comes into contact with instinctively trust him. Even when they were trying to escape, the dogs and birds were making sounds away from the car. Cuarón wanted Theo to be seen as a good shepherd. It was a way to intuitively show that Theo was fundamentally a good person, a protector.

I see a Children of Men reaction, I hit play. Top 5 movie of the 00s.

Oh boy! This is gonna be a rough one! I love this movie, but it is brutal! Also, I think it's a crime that Emmanuel "Chivo" Lubezki didn't win the Oscar for Best Cinematography for this movie. It's absolutely some of the best camera work I've ever seen.

This film does make you feel it. It's also 20 years old and still feels like tomorrow.

The pig is a reference to the album cover for “Animals” by Pink Floyd. I understand that the implication behind the proliferation of animals is to imply that they have taken the place of children.

Another film that just gets better with age.

The thing with all the animals, the director explains, is that there's no children anymore so people, have to have some replacement in their lives so they treat animals like they would their babies and children.

The weekend this movie came out, my mom picked me up from school, we got dinner, and went to see this. I knew nothing about it. I was 15 years old, and I remember walking out of that theater and, while not fully grasping the profundity, feeling like a different person.

Genuinely one of the most heartfelt reactions to this film that I've ever seen. It's beautiful to see a person of such depth and compassion allow themselves to be moved by stories as devastating yet hopeful as this.
