Probably not for proper discussion but the one part of the movie was really disturbing. When the man would “impregnate” the fertile vessel (veiled the entire time) with the wife. Almost like they were pretending the child would be 100% genetically theirs. The movie also illustrated how the infertile women became hostile and cold. I remember when one woman was having a difficult labor, the soon to be Mom would say “hurry up”. It truly was a disturbing movie on so many levels. IMHO.
The distaste and mere tolerance for breeders is probably true today. The commoditization of children is also true, though “The Handmaid’s Tale” never showed pets treated like children, something prolific in “Children of Men”.
Part of the problem today is a birth dearth among the productive, while society as a whole suffers. In “Children of Men” and “The Handmaid’s Tale”, the horror was that most people who wanted kids couldn’t have them, and the totalitarian societies that evolved. Today, we have a voluntary reduction in the birth rate, both from lifestyle choices and high taxes for the taxpayers, partially offset by the higher birth rates among immigrants and welfare families. It’s detrimental to society, but not as dramatic as a total cessation or pandemic with religious / zealot response.
