Future Shock
Director Alfonso Cuarón revisits Children of Men, his overlooked 2006 masterpiece, which might be the most relevant film of 2016.
By Abraham Riesman

On Christmas day, 2006, a curious twist on the Nativity debuted in a handful of movie theaters. Directed and co-written by Mexican auteur Alfonso Cuarón, Children of Men told the story of (decade-old spoiler alert) a near-future dystopia in which women are inexplicably unable to have babies — a state of affairs upended by the advent of a miraculous pregnancy.

Terrorist attacks in European capitals are just routine items in the news crawl. The world stands on the brink, and no one has any clear idea of what can be done.

Its a good movie, but I dont understand what it has to do with 2016. The premise of the movie is that women worldwide are unable to become pregnant and as a result the world freaks out because we are trending towards extinction.

Whats that have to do with current society? I think that author is just a super fan. Like Star Wars maniacs when they say Star Wars is a metaphor for Christianity. Shuttup geek, no it isnt. Its a sci movie made with the intention of making money.

I thought it was because of feminists and men going their own way (MGOTW - yeah, it's a thing)
