I have chosen the film Children of Men, (2006), by Alfonso Cuaron for my textual analysis. It is set in a dystopian future neo-fascist Britain in 2027, where humanity has collapsed due to 18 years of infertility; however, the protagonist Theo discovers that an illegal refugee named Kee is pregnant, and the pair work to deliver Kee to The Human Project in the Azores where they could use her to save humanity. The scene I have chosen is between 16:34-21:22, where Theo reluctantly goes to meet his cousin Xan in order to retrieve transit papers to deliver Kee to the Human project. To analyse this scene, this essay will look at cinematography, mise-en-scene, sound and narrative, with reference to the geographical and political contexts of the time.
