Pack up, don't stray.
Has anyone else seen the film ‘Children of Men’? I have just seen the late showing of it, which might not be the best thing to in this circumstance anyway. It being just before you go to bed, where your imagination is most prone to seeing the worst things known to man (that night). Anyway, so the film is amazing for lack of a better word.
The film is about the human population in a complete state of disarray and decline after about twenty years of infertility (which holds a mystery within the film, there is never any reason given for it). The main character (played by Colin Firth) is then involuntarily involved with a gang and their ploys involving a young woman. As the plot unfolds (none of which I will be divulging here) you really go through more emotions than you would if your watched your cat getting shot whilst simultaneously bearing witness to your grandma having sex. Yes that’s right. The horror of the film is something you don’t easily get to grips with.
But it is really intense, and really pulls on your emotions. There were times when I almost cried for Gods sakes ( Nearly, let's not push it now). The whole film as whole though really makes you question where the world is going to head in a few years time; it’s terrifying to think of the prospect of a world without children. I think the film just, I don’t know made me go ‘woah’. After watching the video of all the journalists dying in my lecture yesterday, I am so traumatised after watching people being killed in similar situations. It puts you in such a deep mood, but not one in which you can easily sleep. It’s 2:39 am here for example. AGH. Why one earth am I even still writing this? I better go now, have to go and look at flats for the boyfriend tomorrow and then going to Camden Market WOOHOO.
Over and out.
