Children of Men (2006)

Well I just watched the film and I was blown away. Everything - the acting, the setting, the plot - work perfectly to fully immerse me in this dystopic future. One of the biggest complains I've heard about this movie was the "extreme leftism" it supposedly had. Am I the only one who didn't see this?

Spoiler:

Yes, clearly the radicals who chase Theo throughout the entire movie portray extremist liberals in a good light. Their slaying of Julian and attempts at killing Theo make them good people right?

We learn nothing about the government except from the words of the terrorists who seek to use the baby for their own benefit. It has become a terribly controlling power with no regard to personal liberties, but is that what predicates the terrorists or rather a response to their actions. It's most likely that what caused the government's behavior is the uprising of terrorists following the world-wide infertility epidemic.

So how the fuck can you call this a leftist film when the greatest threats that face the protagonists come from radical liberals? Am I the only one who finds this to be the most shitbrained argument I've ever heard?

Anyway, I think it was a great film, easily the best I've seen this year.

Jam it back in, in the dark.
