Actually, I thought the movie “Children of Men” was pretty good and worth seeing, despite the violence and the ubiquitous use of the “F” word”. It is very dark, but life affirming. I haven’t read the novel, but as usually is the case, would assume that it is better than the movie.
Another movie that is related to this issue but portrays it in a more humorous vein is “Idiocracy”, a delightful Mike Judge film. Imagine a future populated by the guests of the Jerry Springer show and you will get the idea of what happens when the people who shouldn’t be having children procreate a lot while the people who should be having a lot, don’t.
the movie “children of men” had one of the most life affirming / pro-child moments I’ve ever seen in a movie.
And after seeing that movie, I thought it was WAY better than the tedious, repetitious, overly intellectual book.
