    I decided to rewatch Children of Men for the first time in at least a decade. Unsurprisingly, this movie hits very, very different in 2026.

    I am once again reminding everyone that Clive Owen’s character in CHILDREN OF MEN is in his mid-forties in the late 2020s, which means it’s canonically a movie about a Millennial

    Rewatching "Children of Men" for the 1st time in almost 20 years and OMG, the opening lines. "Day 1,000 of the Siege of Seattle. The Muslim community demands an end to the Army's occupation of mosques...the deportation of illegal immigrants will continue." The movie takes place in 2027.

    CHILDREN OF MEN is going to place “surprisingly” high on the NYT Best Movies of the Century list (like #7) and it’s going to formally occasion the Strange New Respect that we all know is coming so I just want to say I have been riding for that movie since I was a sophomore in high school

    A “Deportation-Industrial Complex” is right out of the movie, Children of Men. This is not the first time I’ve made that comparison. I highly recommend you watch it and see what a “Deportation-Industrial Complex” that’s authorized to kill looks like. www.brennancenter.org/our-work/ana...

    I haven't seen Children of Men since I watched it in the theater 20 years ago. And you know what? Still a sucker punch of a movie with its varying levels of despair but with glimmers determination and tiny spark of hope.

    Children of Men was a great film when I first saw it in the cinema in 2006, but bloody hell, does it hit on a different level now, with everything that’s going on, especially since having my own kids. First-class direction and photography, excellent writing and cast.

    Films I loved to teach #9. Children of Men. Directed and co-written by Alfonso Cuarón. The screenplay, based on P. D. James' 1992 novel. 2006. A masterpiece. Cuarón’s film suggests is that despair and disgust would manifest themselves overwhelmingly in tyranny. m.youtube.com/watch?v=hUbT...

    First shown 20 years ago OTD, Alfonso Cuaron's blistering adaptation of Children Of Men. IMO probably the greatest mainstream movie of the 21st century. Unfortunately each passing year of Farageism, makes it feel less dystopian sci-fi and more prescient warning.

    Children of Men is my favorite movie of all time- despite its incredibly grim portrayal of the world, it emphasizes the importance of hope in very dark times, stand up for what’s right, and fight for our future.

    BBC showing, "Children of Men" at this hour. (I swear someone loves putting it on when things are going down.) It remains a film that shows hope isn't something made of lightness. Hope has a lot of anger pushing it every single day.

  • Don’t Post About Crimes @katerosebee.bsky.socialBluesky · Apr 8, 2025

    I cannot stress to you enough how much you probably need to revisit the movie Children of Men. The central conflict is movement infighting in the middle of the battle for reproductive freedom and immigration justice. It’s an incredibly beautiful, slightly traumatizing movie, especially now.
