Children of Men

As much as don't like little kids, its hard to imagine a world without them. Their laughter and innocence add something special to society. They are a symbol for happiness and more importantly, the future. Without little kids, there is no one to carry on the legacy of the world. Once the last person on earth dies, there is just the history that is written down. There is no way for the a human to be reborn, or come again. The age of humans is over, and earth goes back to its natural state.

If you were one of the only pregnant people left in the world, you would do anything and everything to protect the child from any harm. The child becomes a beacon of hope that people rally around, because it means that there are possibly other people in the world that can have babies. Children of Men does a good job portraying this possibly. With the secrecy surrounding the baby to begin with, and the need to get it to the human project, the baby is already a major point in the plot. The amount of people that die, either trying to take the baby, or defending is absurd, but I guess with it being the only child in the world, it is a very major deal. At the end of the movie when they are walking out of the building, the entire battle stops because even the soldiers have not seen a baby in so long. All the soldiers just move out of the way because they are so amazed.
