Knight posted:It's been awhile since I've seen it and I haven't read the book, but there seemed to be a theme that with the human population dying out, animal populations were growing uncontrolled and possibly going wild again without people taking care of them. Even old fashion ranching requires some level of treatment and vaccinations or disease spreads through those populations, which still happens when horribly lazy ranchers do nothing more than brand their stock and let them loose to graze. Mass farming is more vulnerable to disease without proper care. it's a uk thing, in like 2001 a lot of our farms got hit by a disease called foot and mouth and you basically had to slaughter and burn all the animals because it's so drat infectious. the imagery of burning fields of cows really stuck with us and was much more relevant when the movie came out. it's pretty effective imagery of a dying country/apocolypse here's a news article from 2001 about it http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/uk/1189977.stm

So if this movie predicts the future, does that mean SJWs are going to go super militant and become the fishes? Makes u think.

About the cows. Usually when a farmer dies he passes the farm to his children. I bet there'd be a lot of abandoned farms/herds with all the young people either loving off or not reproducing.

Pretty thin on plot and depth of characters, but if you accept that it's really more about a portrait of the apocalyptic future, then it's pretty solid.

It was a good movie but I rewatched it not long ago and every time someone has a revelation or they show the baby, some holy mother Mary church singing opera voice starts playing and it's cheesy as gently caress. Just show the drat scene.

Movie good. Book also, but in a different way I guess. I think the first half of the book was the most convincing portrayal of how hosed up poo poo would actually be in such a future, and I just felt godawful reading it. It was amazing. I wasn't as big a fan of the latter half, but I'm not sure if it's because the main character turned into everything he hated and effectively became The Bad Guy, or if it was for another reason. That was a pretty big difference, btw. I mean, dying vs becoming evil is a pretty big change. Both endings good in their own way.

lol don't people do this now?quote:Due to the global infertility of mankind, newborn animals (such as kittens and puppies) are doted upon and treated as infants, pushed in prams, and dressed in children's clothing. The latest trend in London is to have elaborate christening ceremonies for newborn pets.

punk rebel ecks posted:Can you go into more detail about how the book differs from the film? How does the protagonist become "evil" exactly? So, in the book, the government (via the main character's childhood friend) is trying to get the baby because it's great PR and they can use it for propaganda. Our idealistic hero wants to prevent this from happening, and helps keep the baby away from the government for the majority of the book. The book ends when the main character's government buddy finally corners them and is about to murder them (I think he might actually be planning on killing them AND the baby at this point but my memory is fuzzy. Kind of like some 'we must keep the status quo' thing maybe? I could be misremembering that point however), and the baby starts crying and the government guy is startled (this was mirrored in the movie with the fishes) and our hero shoots him during his reverie. At this point our hero goes through some quick mental justifications on how HE can use the baby and how he is right and correct to do this. In essence he completely replaces the government guy and I think he ends up walking up to the other government folk and them accepting him into the fold immediately with his magic PR baby. I assume he becomes prime minister after this. (There's some buildup to this, as the character has a history of working in the government etc, so it's not totally out of left field). This is going off of like an 8 or so year old memory, so I may be a bit off on particulars, but that is the gist of it. Kind of leaves a bad taste in your mouth, but that's not to say the book is bad. Like I said, the first half is seriously convincing and horribly depressing. I felt actual emotions reading it, which is rare.
