The film Children of Men differs to V for Vendetta as it is unclear who is the good and who is the bad in the conflict and opposition. The film is produced by an independent production company therefore it subverts the typical conventions of a classic Hollywood narrative. This is portrayed through the themes, style and genre. The fact that it is an independent film it effects or has an impact on these MACRO factors. For example, the film brings up challenging ideas about war by not representing the good or the bad, or having it as the main factor in the film, but the theme of fertility is more prominent. The film also incorporates religious themes, for example when Theo, Kee and the baby are walking, the baby is a representation of Jesus, it is a savour that stops the war momentarily. Theo also dies for the baby towards the end of the film, this makes him a matyr.
Visceral: the impact a film has upon it's audience.
