I have chosen Alfonso Cuarón’s 2006 dystopian science fiction film, Children of Men for my textual analysis. The film is set in 2027 in a world where women are infertile, and features the story of a former activist named Theo who agrees to help transport a pregnant woman to a sanctuary. I have chosen the section of the film between 00.16.43. – 00.21.02. which is before the climax of the film. In this scene, Theo travels through the dystopian Britain to visit his rich cousin to gain travel papers. To analyse this section, I am focusing on sound, mise en scene, and genre. The context examined focusses on social and economic factors connected to the film around the time of its production.
