Strong Left
Primary
The film is left-leaning due to its stark critique of a xenophobic, authoritarian state and its emphasis on humanitarianism, compassion for refugees, and the universal value of new life as a source of hope amidst societal collapse.
Children of Men showcases significant diversity within its cast, which organically reflects its dystopian world grappling with a global refugee crisis. The narrative strongly critiques xenophobia and oppressive traditional power structures, centering its themes on the plight and resilience of marginalized communities as the source of humanity's last hope.
Secondary
The film adapts P.D. James's novel, where the character Julian was Theo's male cousin. In the movie, Julian Taylor is portrayed as Theo's female ex-wife, constituting a gender swap.
Children of Men does not feature any explicit LGBTQ+ characters or themes. The narrative is entirely centered on a dystopian future grappling with human infertility, making no direct or indirect references to queer identity or experiences.
The movie does not contain any action or adventure elements.
The film adapts characters from the novel, but no major character who was canonically or explicitly established as one race in the source material is portrayed as a different race in the film. Original characters were created, and for others, race was not explicitly defined in the novel.
