Children of men is quite an interesting film. I like the fact that the director has set the storyline in a Dystopan future, however, there are some elements that we can relate to our world such as the St. Pauls Cathedral which is shown in the opening of the film. This made the film more interesting to watch as it wasn't fully set in a futuristic world therefore making it very original. The protagonist/hero in this film is called Theo. Although the directors aim was for him to be seen as a hero, he did not act very heroic throughout the film. This is because he did not use much violence, carry a gun or any other type of weapon to defend himself. In the beginning of the film he is seen as quite moody and depressed however towards the end of the film we see a more loving and caring side to him after he finds out Kee is pregnant. We see him teaching Kee how to hold a baby correctly which makes it a unique selling point as the hero is not a typical hero we would sterotypically think.
