Hello, Children

I liked "Children of Men" an awful lot- it had an amazing visual style, several how'd-they-do-that long camera takes, a whole bunch of memorable moments, and a political message that was obvious, but not overly preachy or condescending.

But two things I couldn't believe: in the scene in which they take Clive Owen to the room where we see all the old newspapers on the walls, one of headlines is ""Kazakhstan Annihilated." Huh? Did Borat cause an international incident? I also found it kind of odd that there will still be hippies in 2027. Will people still be living in the '60s, 60 years after the '60s ended?
