Children of Men

The movie Children of Men is certainly unique, and wishes to create several images. One image I thought stood out the most, in the first part of the movie, was that of a division of rich and poor. Specifically, I thought that the camera on the luxury car as it drove through the crowds of the poor and filthy drove home this point, how with a government, or no government, there will always be a division of the wealthy and the poor because the poor haven't the means to pull themselves up, and the rich are too self centered to even consider helping out the common man. Of course there are plenty of exceptions to this, many rich folk give to charity, and many many people build themselves up out of nothing. However, those people ARE the exception to the rule, while most the rest of the world, especially in the underdeveloped countries, run fairly in sync to the rule itself.
