Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men is a 2006 Sci-Fi/Action film set in a dystopian future England in the year 2027. This film will be the focus of my textual analysis, in particular the section from 00:16:43 to 00:21:06 – where the protagonist, Theo, meets his cousin, Nigel, in order to obtain travel documents for the terrorist organisation “The Fishes”. To analyse this section, I will look at the mise-en-scene, cinematography, representation and ideologies. The context examined focuses on economical and political contexts connected to the film around the time of its production.
