Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men is a sci-fi masterpiece, the end of which sees the endurance of the human spirit tested and new beginnings forged.
The ending of Alfonso Cuarón’s Children of Men continues to provoke discussion decades after its release, contributing to its cult-film legacy. As a dystopian sci-fi drama, Children of Men makes use of a bleak, Orwellian aesthetic to blend philosophy and religion in its exploration of human nature.
Not only is Children of Men one of Clive Owen’s best movies but it also features the actor’s best character. Theo is introduced as a nihilist, but protecting Kee offers him a new purpose, even if it ultimately costs him his life. In the final scenes, a clash between the British forces and the extremists is in progress, but a dying Theo is still able to row away to safety, with the movie hinting that Kee and her daughter — aptly named Dylan after Theo’s son — will indeed reach Tomorrow.
The literary comparisons are not just limited to the scriptures, but also to classic works like Dante's Renaissance-era poem The Divine Comedy, and the Inferno part, in particular, has been used in Brawl in Cell Block 99's ending and many horror works. Children of Men sets itself apart by incorporating all of Dante's journeys from Inferno to Purgatario and finally to Paradiso .
