This chapter introduces Alfonso Cuarón's Children of Men, which was loosely based on the 1992 novel of the same name by P.D. James. It analyses Children of Men's dramatization of a world in violent turmoil with humanity hurtling toward extinction after eighteen years of infertility. It also mentions the plagues, environmental degradation, violent rebellion and war that have shattered the world into a battleground of military rule, ethnic tribalism, high security Green Zones, and internment camp Red Zones seen in the film. This chapter points out how the Children of Men novel from 1992 seems to have been torn from today's headlines, noting the shock of Brexit, the U.S. election of nationalistic fear-monger Donald Trump, and the spread of xenophobia in reaction to the global immigration crisis. It talks about how Children of Men offers up resistance as a means to fight oppression and despair amid injustice and brutality.
本章介绍了阿方索Cuarón的《人类之子》，这部小说大致改编自P.D.詹姆斯1992年的同名小说。它分析了《人类之子》对一个充满暴力动荡的世界的戏剧化描述，人类在18年的不孕症后走向灭绝。影片还提到了瘟疫、环境恶化、暴力叛乱和战争，这些都把世界变成了军事统治、民族部落主义、高度安全的“绿区”和拘留营“红区”的战场。本章指出，1992年出版的《人类之子》(Children of Men)小说似乎已经脱离了今天的头条新闻，注意到英国脱欧的冲击、民族主义恐慌贩子唐纳德·特朗普(Donald Trump)当选美国总统，以及全球移民危机引发的仇外情绪蔓延。它讲述了《人类之子》是如何在不公正和残暴中反抗压迫和绝望的。
