Freaky Friday #93

Today is Friday and that means it’s Freaky Friday. If you need to know more about this journal writing challenge please read the First Freaky Friday entry.

The other night I watched the film Children of Men, starring Clive Owen & Julianne Moore. Really, I am still processing the story, even though it was simple enough. But the idea of the entire human race being infertile for over 18 years is a frightening thought. That’s a long time. The film showed how this impacted the world of the future. The youngest people in the world are treated as celebrities and there is a sense of despair over everything.

For this journal writing challenge put yourself in this situation. The story is set in the future. Find a synopsis of the film on the Children of Men website. If you have children write about how life is now you will no longer have any more and the possibility of them not creating future generations. If you haven’t had children write about how this would be on into the future with everyone else in the same boat as you.

As I read the credits I noticed the film was based on a novel by PD James of the same name: The Children of Men.
