At the start of the film we instantly hear how society has fallen due to women no longer being able to give birth for unexplained reasons, this creates a state of dystopia and despair. due to infertility the government has changed and Britain has become a totalitarian state, which is similar to fascism as Britain is controlled by fear and propaganda. Survival is also a key theme in the film as humanity is slowly becoming extinct and groups of terrorists, as branded by the government, are trying their best to create equality for immigrants to try and save society.
the film is trying to get us to realise that we cannot fall as society, it slightly touches at the power of religion however every time someone new sees the baby they say Jesus Christ this is trying to show us the magnitude of how powerful and important the birth of the child is. Theo slowly becomes more humble and learns that he himself has the power to change things, which is also another message from the film. the film is warning us that if society falls then so will humanity, and that it is vital that we work together
