I have chosen Alfonso Cuarón’s 2006 dystopian action thriller film, “Children of Men” for my textual analysis. The film is set in the year 2027, after 18 years of human infertility which has left the world on the verge of extinction and destruction. A young woman, called Kee gets pregnant. Theo, a bureaucrat, reluctantly takes the responsibility to protect and transport her to safety. I have chosen the section of the film between 35:05- 39:03. which occurs during the end of the film’s first act. In this scene Kee reveals her pregnancy to Theo, showing him what is at stake, creating a point of no return and managing to convince him to transport her to safety with the Human Project. To analyse this section, I am focusing on mise-en-scene (including the use of visual motifs), cinematography, and narrative. The context examined focuses on social and political factors connected to the film around the time of its production in 2006.
