COM: sim/diff with VFV Macro + Micro

Children of men walking with the baby:
Themes,style and representation of gender

1.theo is a protective farther figure, mother is seen as a sacred figure
2. Dystopia, war
3. Tracking shot, POV 

Is likely to be an independent film because the ending is open and challenges us to think. This doesn't conform to the classic Hollywood narrative. 

This film represents masculinity as being the main power in the film. Due to women not being able to give birth they're redundant of all power in government and in society 

In V for Vendetta war is seen as a tool of peace and enables the audience to take a side, where Children of Men uses war as a backdrop to a more important point in the story, war is shown as an object of destruction and is not shown in the way a Hollywood film would; where good triumphs over evil. The difference between VFV and COM is that VFV is a hollywood film.
