Science Fiction : Children of Men (2006)

Children of Men (2006)

With this dystopian world ravished by war, paranoia, and the frustrations of Man, the Orwellian vision of 1984, the totalitarian future is now complete and amongst us. With female fertility becoming obsolete, Man cannot reproduce, and no child has been born on the face of the Earth for eighteen years. Man, and his future, is dying. Soon he shall be extinct. Theo, the beaten, downtrodden and middle-aged ex-political activist will, unwittingly, become involved in a war of an underground revolt. Here, he is active once more, in the perilous journey across England's home counties, with a young girl, Kee, who, to Theo's bewilderment is pregnant. The first pregnant woman for more than eighteen years. This secret must be protected, at all cost, and mother and child must flee to the mysterious and enigmatic Human Project, across the seas. Their flight is a constant fight for survival. Who can be trusted? Who can keep a secret?

Overrated and it sucks.

What a future where test tube babies don't happen anymore /s

A test-tube baby is the product of a successful human reproduction that results from methods beyond sexual intercourse between a man and a woman and instead utilizes medical intervention that manipulates both the egg and sperm cells for successful fertilization.

The entire premise is absurd and stupid.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

You got it all figured out, don't cha?

What if men could no longer produce sperm? What if women no longer produce eggs? What if the antibodies we build up from COVID-19 cause us to be infertile?

From what I'm reading, the premise is on stable ground.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Spermatogenesis is a biological process in which germ cells (spermatogonia) develop by mitosis, meiosis, and maturation into mature sperm cells (spermatozoa) in the male gonad, . the testis. … The cells that can be used to create artificial sperm may be either sperm cell progenitor cells or somatic cells.
For the first time, artificial embryos made without sperm or eggs have started to form live fetuses after being implanted in female human.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Let me guess, even if this is true and all the data adds up, it didn't happen until after 2006, when this movie was made…

I'll wait until this alleged technology is commonplace before buying it.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

The film takes place in 2027, not 2006.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Fuck me, you're stupid, aren't you?

It was made in 2006. How were they supposed to know what life would be like in 2020?

It's like saying the Back to the Future premise is absurd and stupid because people in 1985 didn't know we wouldn't have flying cars or self-drying clothes in 2015.

Anyway, from Wikipedia because there's no way I'm wasting time trying to prove to you that only life can make life…

Spermatogenesis is the process by which haploid spermatozoa develop from germ cells in the seminiferous tubules of the testis. This process starts with the mitotic division of the stem cells located close to the basement membrane of the tubules. These cells are called spermatogonial stem cells.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Obviously, if universal sterilization happened, science would work on ways of fabricating life from any human cell, from a hand or a nose. I'm sure there were geniuses in City of Men working on this behinds the scenes. However, in the mean time, before the procedure was developed and tested and implemented, there would be a non-existent generation. That's what the movie is about.

First human test tube baby was created in the 1970s 😂 Already done.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Yeah, but they need a fertile egg and a sperm. These fools don't have those.

If you went to a new grocery store and couldn't find ketchup, would you ask a clerk "where do you fools keep the condiments"?

Re: Children of Men (2006)

If it was a grocery store run by Mexican-Americans, it would be acceptable here.

While the women are the ones said to be infertile in the film, it's the men who are infertile (zero sperm count) in the original P.D. James novel.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

That's why I said, science is working on ways to fertilize any human cell from any part of the body. That's what these guys would be trying to do.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Sperm from stem cells fertilize egg. Lab-grown reproductive cells could lead to fertility treatments. … The researchers used stem cells derived from male mouse embryos and grew them into hollow balls, rather like an early embryo. They then teased out sperm-like cells and injected them into unfertilized eggs.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

It's called Children of Men. Why isn't it called Children of Women?
How did men get sterile? Was there a sterilization virus that made men of the world sterile? How did women get eggless? Was there another sterilization virus, designed to destroy eggs or pubic area of Fe-males?

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Such a great movie in every way. Clive Owen was superb. He's a very underrated actor.

Re: Children of Men (2006)

Very overrated film. Cold and unemotional film. Lacks a great script that could have made the movie spark.

Kiss my black ass! Toodles!
