Went to a movie tonite and now I can't stop thinking about it. It was insanely depressing and intense for the entire length of the film, seriously there wasn't a part you could just breath and be like "good, everything will work out and they are safe". No such luck. Thus I give you "Children of Men".

I can't imagine a world that dark, dirty and desperate. Women no longer able to bear children, countries controlled by militia, "fugies" taken to camps to be tortured or killed, polution so thick the sun hardly gets thru, grimmy streets filled with homeless people...a world without hope.

Interesting things my friend Dee and I picked up was that animals could still reproduce, apparently human cloning wasn't happening and that nature was still fine. The grass was still green, lots of vegetation, bails of hay....except there was a lot of dead cattle around (of which I don't quite get). So in some ways the movie wasn't that "realistic" but sadly some ideas are definitely close to what could be in our future.

I really dont' know what take from this movie, I really don't.

   But what are you recommendations? See it or don't see it or wait for DVD? How many rotting cattle carcases out of 10?

   You should do some research on the movie to give us more insight.
