And by Ebert I mean any "mainstream" demoncraet.
It is above all the look of "Children of Men" that stirs apprehension in the heart. Is this what we are all headed for? The film is set in 2027, when assorted natural disasters [? -Jhaowuh], wars and terrorist acts have rendered most of the world ungovernable, uninhabitable or anarchic.
So, did we listen? Oh wait he's not done.
Often I fear it will all come to this, that the rule of law and the rights of men will be destroyed by sectarian mischief and nationalistic recklessness. Are we living in the last good times?
We didn't listen.
The center of the film involves the journey toward the coast, which Faron and Kee undertake with Julian, Luke and Miriam (Pam Ferris), who is both watchdog and nurse. Along the way, they are pursued by Homeland Security troops
When I think about it really hard, I think that did happen once in the movie. They shot a cop or something right? Good one. I'm not thinking of another movie right?
The film is not really about children; it is about men and women, and civilization, and the way that fear can be used to justify a police state.
Sort of like how in The Wicker Man at the end Nicolas Cage's fear of bees justified a police state (one that revolved around kicking women in the chest). This is in stark contrast to all the movies where police states are justified by things other than fear.
Here is certainly a world ending not with a bang but a whimper, and the film serves as a cautionary warning. The only thing we will have to fear in the future, we learn, is the past itself. Our past. Ourselves.
So if the human race suddenly becomes incapable of having children, make sure you don't.......... I don't know, WHAT THE FUCK IS HE TALKING ABOUT HERE?
Also, earlier today moom was watching the bill mar show, and bil had a special guest on who he introduced as his friend, and not being ironic either (because he's a little too old for that I guess), the co founder of PETA, Harriet and Blah Blah Nyborg or whoever it was, and her subject was to inform the audience and world that eating meat causes more global warming than pollution. Also, john "Normal" melon camps was on there too. Just a note to the rubes to fall for this global warming thing, but try to steer away from this whole "harvesting and consuming animal flesh will deplete the O zone layer" or whatever it is line if you want to convince people of the latest brainwashing fad that so far only exists just to attempt to control people's personal lives. |
