Uprising in the U.K.

        The world is in chaos and turmoil. In the film the United Kingdom's government is left standing. Peace and order cannot last forever. For instance, there are rebellions and uprisings in most countries. Every country has some form of group that doesn't conform with a national government. Children of Men brought a glimpse of government falling apart by civil conflicts.
        We see it happening all over the globe with the Middle East, Asia, Africa, etc. Nations going into a civil war or other forms of conflict. Children of Men showed how humanity is vulnerable when there is imminent doom and disaster. In the film there is a state of mind that nothing matters anymore and all of humanity will end up dead. This is like a last breath for people to steal and kill. The human mind has lost sanity. This gives a reason for civilians to take up arms and riot against the government or any form of higher power.
        Throughout the film, the United Kingdom's government is crumbling. The government does its best to keep order with keeping the immigrants out. The rebellion starts from the inside instead. The rebels trying to tract down Theo and Kee end up involved in a street fight against the military. These few minutes of the film were an impact to me because it shows that any powerful country can fall. The film gives the scene a realistic viewpoint. It is like the cameraman is running alongside of Theo with the shaking motion. The music gives an eerie and anticipative feeling to the scene. The surrounding environment shows the poverty of what the country has come down to. Just watching the film, I wouldn't believe that anything like this would happen in the western world.
        The scene acknowledges Theo's attempt to save humanity. At the beginning of the scene, its about them taking cover from the incoming shots. Theo shows a great courage as he goes onto the trek on his own to rescue the baby. The streets are covered with soldiers, rebels, tanks, and debris. It is amazing to see a civilian display that much courage. Theo could have easily hid along with other civilians hiding in the streets. This was the courage that Kee saw in Theo when others didn't. Kee trusted in Julian and knew she could trust in Theo. Theo saw this as the last attempt to save humanity and he took that chance.
        From before this scene of the movie is a reality check. There may be a time in our country's future where internal conflict can happen and chaos erupts everywhere. Looking at history, no civilization or empire has lasted to today. In one way or another, every country has gone through a revolution and changed. Revolution can come with a price. If there is a reason to fight, people will do it. In Children of Men the hysteria and fear of extinction led people to fight each other. The film's scenario of infertility may not be an issue in the future but any spark of fear and hostility and lead to an internal conflict.
