As I mentioned in class, the movie Aeon Flux covers some very similar points but deals with the ideas of infertility in a very different way. While The Handmaid's Tale deals mainly with white infertility in a single country, Aeon Flux addresses the idea of global infertility, not blamed on either gender, and the increasingly strict and regulated society that results from that infertility. I feel like it was passed over when it came out, but I think it's pretty relevant to both The Handmaid's Tale and Children of Men. Definitely more socially classified as science fiction as well with the presence of exciting technology. It's also a really entertaining movie and I'm a sucker for the love story. So really no reason not to watch it, I know you'll all be dying to procrastinate at some point this week. Enjoy :-)
In the vein of infertility in sci-fi...
