At least England has scones and British accents and whatnot.

What can I say about Children of Men?

It kind of made me look to this. I was stroking my non-existent beard and wondering what on earth was going on.

It was weird. It was confusing. It was like Inception but much more ominous. But being completely honest, it kind of freaked me out. There was that whole theme that humankind will lose humane principles in times of massive disaster. Although I don’t think that humankind will ever come close to losing the ability to reproduce altogether, the response of the people could be quite possible depending on the disaster we’re facing.

And hope. Gosh, I really do like the idea of hope. Even when all seems lost in a world plagued by destruction and dreadlocked terrorists, Key is a shred of hope that there could be a solution. To be cliché, she is the beacon of light in a sea of darkness. Ah, how poetic.

Speaking of the sea, what on earth was that last scene? It was… goodness gracious I don’t even think there are words fit to describe how I felt after watching it. I was sad because Theo died. And it wasn’t even like BAM he’s dead, it was that slow, painful type of dying where he bleeds out in that dreadful boat in the middle of the freaking ocean or whatever. It just made me more anxious than I needed to be at that point.

And the boat, Tomorrow. That boat. What was it? Where did it take Key? Was it the Human Project? I DON’T KNOW because it was a cliffhanger! Personally, I don’t think the Human Project exists. I think may have started as this rumor and the idea that something like that exists sparked hope and gave people something to live for and fight for. I do think it was a boat to save people, I just don’t think it was the Human Project.

And the soundtrack at the end? What is the director trying to do, give me an emotional breakdown? I was already distraught that Theo died and everything seemed kind of hopeless, but then I was feeling pretty good that Key looked like she was about to be saved, and then I was so confused because I heard the noises of children playing and laughing and squealing.

Somehow, I think people began having children again. The name of the ship, Tomorrow, was a symbol that tomorrow is a brighter day, that it tomorrow comes to save us from the dreariness that is today. I don’t believe everyone was infertile in the first place either. It’s very probable that a lot of people started having their miscarriages, then people were afraid so they stopped trying, thus the lack of babies. But with Key, they were inspired to try again, and HOORAY, more babies were being born again and the world is a happy place, even though all that still exists is England.

For now.
