Forrest, Conan Neutron, Kt Baldassaro, and Kristina Oakes discuss Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men Way back on Episode 45 we did an episode on Children of Men, but having a big cast of characters on that one made it harder to get a good discussion on a very bleak movie: • Episode 45: Children of Men with Kart…
So, we’re redoing it with just the crew, and more than ever with the situation in England and the Xenophobic Anti-Immigrant Race Riots back in the summer, it’s quite a time to revisit it!!! Children of Men shows a world, technically the future as its 2027, where for 18 years mankind has ceased to have children.
Most of the world has collapsed, but Britain apparently soldiers on.
In this world, Clive Owens plays Theo, a boring government employee with a secret politically radical past, who just wants to cynically go about his day in a dying world.
When his estranged Activist wife Julian, (Julianne Moore), shows up as leader of the Pro-Immigrant Rights group the Fishes asking for his help getting a very special refugee to the coast. Micheal Caine, Chiwetel Ejiofor, and Clare-Hope Ashitey also star and Danny Huston and Ed Westwick make cameos in this incredibly bleak dystopian film. #alfonsocuarón#alfonsocuarón#cliveowen#childrenofmen#dannyhuston#moviepodcast#filmpodcast#dystopian#Brazil#terrygilliam#juliannemoore#britishfilm#britishcinema#refugees#immigration
