children of men (slavoj zizek)


focus of film in the background-crucial- to look at thing(issue)(eg. social opression) directly you dont see it.
tension between fore & background. protagonist/plot microcosm for issue.
'fate of the indivual hero becomes a prism in which you see the background more clearly'

theme of infertility describes also spirtitual or social infertility?

*society without history (despair)
works of art deprived of meaning (decontextualised?)
england (britain)-relies on its substance of tradition,meanings (no constitution)- loss of history (context?)
boat-rootless, solution-renewal-cut roots
