Analysis of Children and Men

Genre (MACRO):


These images are mainly based on the film 'Children of Men', as based on the stereotypical features of a dystopian environment, 'Children of Men' fits it. Such as the corrupt views that have been stipulated by the government and the breakdown of human life. Leo would be an action hero because he is a protagonist with a quest to save Kee and her baby. However at the end of the film he cannot live on any longer and dies leaving the mystery of whether the human race is saved or not. Kee is a damsel in distress as she is in need of help and is rescued by Leo. Miriam could be considered as a battle axe women as she is a domineering, brash and brazen woman. Jasper could be considered as a bit of a mad scientist because he is very eccentric in his ways and he looks after the younger people that he knows.Children of Men is a thriller because of the suspense and action like war and terrorism. An example of this would be that there are police in armour patrolling the streets daily. This causes conflict and disagreement which is generally associated with this genre. However it is also a sci-fi as it is set in the future dystopian society of 2027. Examples would be a pill to take your own life and for it to be illegal to not attend fertility tests in this futuristic setting. There is also a slight change in technology within this film such as the speedometer in the bottom right hand side of the windshield.The end of the film it is left on a cliffhanger as to whether Kee reached was rescued by the Human Project or not. It keeps the audience interested up to the end and are left unsatisfied with the outcome - although they are also left to think up their own ending.
