CoM Narrative

Thesis - your analysis of the comparison 

Similarity:V

Birth and mothers

Terrorism 

CoM: 

Birth 

Infertility 

Terrorism 

CoM EDR:

Equilibrium- coffee shop 

Disruption - Kee is pregnant 

Resolution - Kee with her kid on a boat (cliffhanger) 

Difference - 

Spiritual birth vs actually birth 

V=hero? Gives life for the people BUT was for revenge not for the people 

Theo=hero? Gives life for humanity so life moves on 

Typical hero stereotypes V would be it

But Theo is there to show a sense of realism because more people are like Theo. Why? To show a message of hope 

V is a message of warning 

CoM is a message of hope       Difference 

POV shots to put the audience in the film, make it realistic. The director is used this in most of his films to try and get the sense of realism.

Fatherly figures are Jasper in CoM and Dietrich in V 

V for Vendetta:

 

-Villain is the army/Government

-Dispatcher is Evey when V saves her and invites her to the destruction of the old bailey 

-Evey in the first part as the typical woman would be the helper to V

-Evey again would be the princess because in the first part she needs saving and protecting 

-the donor in this would be V and could be Dietrich for both helping Evey when she needed help 

-V would be the hero for many people in VfV because he stands up for the people and takes down the Government but blowing up Parliament. But he is this way due to him wanting vengeance for the Government 

Children of Men:

-Villain is the Government 

-The dispatcher would be Julian for the original offering but could be Kee as well because she gives Theo the meaning for doing it 

-The helper would be Jasper because he gives Theo and everyone a place to stay and be safe

-Kee would be seen as the princess of the film due to the fact she needs protecting throughout and being rescued from Government 

-The donor in CoM could be Jasper, he gives Theo the place to stay and gives him a car to escape 

-Finally the hero would be Theo because he is there to help and sacrifice to send hope for the new generation

Character Driven Motivations:

V for Vendetta is trying to get across the sense of realism. Not as simplistic as people want it to be. V's motivation is revenge on Government but ends up being the hero for the people of London. Good vs Bad

Children of Men is more complicated than VfV. We can't tell who would be the villain and hero because some of the characters are more likely to have more than one motivation. With infertility when someone comes up pregnant like Kee, it's gives the meaning of hope to the characters of the film.

The character of Sid in Chilren of Men is an important character due to him having a change in moods towards the Theo and Kee. Once he sees the baby he then takes it into his own hands and acts like most of humanity would probably do by trying to take the baby and use it as a tool go get what he wants.
