Books have always been adapted to movies over time. With books such as Harry Potter, Twilight, Lord of the Rings, etc. I'm not much of a reader so I can't really compare the book to the movie because I haven't read the book. Now by reading Children of Men I can see how people would react to adaptations. Adaptations are never the exact same thing as the book and we can see where directors change and remove various scenes.
When it came to the movie of The Children of Men, it was very different from the book. In my opinion the cinematography and the actors were great but the way it was interpreted was way different from the book. I can say that it was better than the book, it was more realistic and even more exciting with the explosions and the scenes. The settings in the movie compared to the book was more dark and chaotic. There was more violence in the movie compared to the book and we can truly see what was happening with the world. Also when it came to the plots I can see how people would be accept with all the changes but it gave the audience more of a twist. The people who actually got to read the book would see how refugee would carry the baby, and people who haven't read the book would also have as good enough experience.
In my opinion the book wasn't as great as the movie and the movie itself wasn't even that amazing. But it really got you to think how life would be like if humans couldn't produce babies and also how the world would end. It got you to question, what if?
