DemonSlayer Posted January 7, 2007 Share Posted January 7, 2007 I watched a while ago, it wasn't too bad, but there's not much of a story or explanation of anything. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CrossCuT Posted January 7, 2007 Author Share Posted January 7, 2007 [size=1]Well anyways... I do agree that they should have explained WHY women were infertile a little more, but I really liked Clive Ownen's character alot! And there was a quote that I love, I cant remember how it went exactally or who said it, but it was something like this is how the world is when we no longer have the voices of childeren. Very good movie! [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DemonSlayer Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Yeah, nothing is really explained, it's just all action. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
desertwoman Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 So is the premise about a disease that hit in 2008 that made all women infertile, the world is in a state of xenophobia and chaos, and one woman is carrying a child the human races last hope?

homeschoolmom Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Sort of. Though the woman's pregnancy is not known to the world... only to those trying to smuggle her... to somewhere. Apparently, the UK is the only civilized place left after some disaster(s) hits the rest of the world. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Knight Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 Vaguely similar to a book title The White Plague by Frank Herbert. Although in the book, it doesn't make women infertile, it kills ONLY women. It's kind of an ultimate revenge plague. It's creepy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
thejUiCER Posted January 8, 2007 Share Posted January 8, 2007 the jUiCER thought the movie was beautiful. Seemed to have a very strong yet subtle "Pro-Life Message" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It was pretty obvious that the child (and her mother) was a political pawn, and that the people who wanted them wanted them only for political gain, not out of respect for them as individuals. But thanks for jumping immediately to conclusions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

[/quote] Which is maybe why I'm having such a hard time seeing the "strong" pro life message. I mean, I guess there is one, but it's not purely motivated-- ie, valuing life because it is God's creation. Rather, new life is a rare commodity to be fought over like a rare jewel. If the movie had the characters examining themselves to see how they contributed to the culture of death that they now faced or something, I would see a strong pro-life message.

[/quote] yeah I don't think it is a pro-life message at all If anything, I think it is an indictment of the religious right: "Hey, pro-lifers, this is what you do: you make babies political pawns (by focusing on abortion as a political issue) and ignore the fact that the rest of the world is tearing itself apart in war." That is what I think the movie is saying. I don't think it is pro-life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CrossCuT Posted January 8, 2007 Author Share Posted January 8, 2007 [size=1]Ok, so we have two conclusions about the message of the movie: Pro-Life, and a Liberal tease party. [/size] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
