my independent study is going to analyse the film Children Of Men and then compare it to an older text, in order to gather an idea of how a film can alter the attitudes of its audiences. I will analyse how the film covers global issues, such as pollution and global warming. I will go on to say that by targeting the fears of its audience post-apocalyptic/sci-fi films have the power to change the beliefs and attitudes of the audience.
