i think this got banned here, coz they showed muslims fighting as terrorists n so forth, and if i recall correctly there was one part where theo said something bad regarding muslims, though it was a few second say.....
in the novel it was because of male infertility, but in the movie it was female infertility...i wonder y they switched it

jus watch the movie
not that great....cos
It's never explained why women suddenly became infertile, or what happens after the movie ends. It leaves way too many questions unanswered

i have to agree that this movie isnt that great at all.
Too many questions unanswered. And also, besides clive owen and julianne moore, all the actors and actresses are too ugly to entertain me....

Pull my finger is a fart joke. The prankster gets someone to pull his finger, and then farts, suggesting that the fart was caused by the pulling of his finger.

I like Julianne Moore in here more than what she did in the movie got Samuel L Jackson bout child murder.
I really hate her acting in dat movie.

yay! a children of men thread! i watched it a few weeks ago, but i didn't know there were fans here! this movie is definitely the most important and significant movie in a very long time. i think that the future in this movie is portrayed very realistically, and possibly the one where we're gonna experience a few years down the road. people should watch this. and all the unanswered questions aren't really there for you to ponder upon, it's just there for facts, you know what i mean. like the reason all the women are infertile, even the people in the movie don't have a clue, it could be pollution, etc. plus, like i said it's just meant to be there to shape the bigger storyline and theme. and also, so far, this movie has one of the best cinematography i've ever seen. pan's labyrinth should not have won that best cinematography award at the oscar's!

Hey I started the Pan's thread before I watched it... I've watched it since and it's a very good film, just overrated. People are attacking me in that thread lol! In the years to come CoM will be regarded as a classic.
