He was only wearing sandals..or maybe nothing at all, and stepped on some glass I believe

Yes. Even though the blood on the lens disappears after a short time, the entire sequence is one take. There are no invisible cuts. Cuaron said, "The blood was great, but after a while, it started to feel like it was on your face." He hired a digital artist to remove it, and they had to go frame by frame to do so.

asks Sid to take a look at his car battery.

I agree with that since we see the soldiers cease all hostilities when they see the baby...not one comments on race...and since we already know that the youngest person alive was a celebrity, then it's logical to assume that "Dylan" would be more famous than Princess Di. And also, it doesn't matter that Kee went with the Human Project, since she is able to have kids, she still has a job to do, mainly having lots of babies. So now she will have the babies of scientists, but if she went public, she would have the kids of whichever monarch Britain had, and she would live like a queen! So that part of the plot really confused me since it didn't seem to match what the movie told me earlier. So I felt sorry for Kee that she would be stuck sleeping with old white scientists instead of with Prince William.

The point was made that if the pregnancy were made public, the baby would be taken from her and raised by an English black-woman...there's no way the youngest person would be allowed to be an illegal-alien.

important facts given in the first 5 minutes: illegal immigrants are bad and the youngest person in the world is good. everything else spawns from this. so we have an illegal carrying a baby, good and bad. having a baby is good, so we need to make it bad and have Kee kept off balance: who tells her that her baby will be taken from her? the government-fearing hippies, but Theo tells her to go public. In order to keep him from convincing her, we start the chase. And the rest of the movie becomes an action film and keeps Kee from making a logical decision. So the movie tries to convince us that Kee made the right choice by going to the human project because the government would have taken her baby away, but we don't know that she can't have more babies. Why would the government keep the baby but throw away the baby machine?? It isn't until Kee is in the boat that we're able to think about her situation, and that's when I thought, hey, for the most part, the villains have been the Fish trying to take her baby. The soldiers didn't touch her. So then I start to evaluate the roots of the plot and I think, if people can't reproduce and haven't been able for 18 years, then why are immigrants undesirable? Immigrants are a form of cheap labor. Throughout history, countries have relaxed immigration controls to allow for cheap labor to work in less populated areas. So why would any country turn away all this cheap labor when their resident population is dying off? So the me, the immigration is the faulty part of the plot since I don't believe it would be true. anyway, I'm out of time.....

I don't think that she was going to the Human Project to have babies. That solution would basically be to populate Earth with inbred people. Real small gene pool, shorter than short term solution. The scientists were going to use her as a control. Now that they had someone to compare against a sterile woman, they hoped to find the cause and maybe a cure. It was very 12 Monkeys and Y The Last Man in that respect.

I agree that I never got the feeling that Kee was going to be used to make more babies. I thought she was going to sort of a safe haven for her. And I don't think the movie was about portraying both sides of being evil as much as it was showing everyone was off their rockers. Evidenced by Sid wanting the baby for his own reasons.

The movie made me think a lot. I really do not like kids at all and I don't see the whole world suddenly falling apart if there weren't anymore. That's just me.

The scene where they Theo enters his cousin? house and they show the statue of David there was impressive. I thought that was a nice touch showing you how art pretty much becomes meaningless if there's no one left to see it anymore.

The mistake is thinking that everyone believed the government would hide the baby. The only people who said that were the Fish, a quasi-terrorist organization. Add to that the fact they live on the fringe of an already distrusting, paranoid society and it makes complete sense that they would believe that.

Just think... how many stupid political ideas do you hear on TV, or the radio, or on the internet or in your daily life. This is no exception. That the government would take the baby and claim it as its own, whether is true or not, is a ridiculous idea and the important thing is all the Fish believe it. It doesn't take infertility for people to spread and believe stupid ideas, be they about immigration or race or the military or about science.

So, is it a ridiculous idea that the government would take the baby? Sure. Ridiculous to us and any logical person. But the Fish aren't logical.
