+ With Children of Men, it is available to rent for $3.99 via Amazon. It is also included with a Peacock subscription (must be viewed with ads, though). Feel free to look around for other ways to watch it. If possible, I recommend watching it on as large of a screen as possible. It’s directed by Alfonso Cuarn, whose films always have gorgeous cinematography.
1. Discuss how plausible a view of the future did you find the setting of Children of Men? What made it believable? How did the mise-en-scene(s) reflect this world-view?
2. To what extent could you understand the global grief over the death of Baby Diego? How do you think attitudes to young people would change in such a world? Why?
3. Why do you think the Government is dealing with refugees in such a brutal fashion? What do you think it would take to bring us to such a situation?
4. To what extent was the issue of illegal immigration examined in Children of Men, or was it nothing more than a backdrop to other events? How does the film echo or refer to our current situation (including Iraq, Guantanamo, Abu Ghraib, etc.)? Mention the role of specific images, references, and the role of mise-en-scene in the shots of (re)Fugees.
