Freedom from Fear, Want, and Boredom

Just noticed this: Caryn James has a pretty on-point piece in The New York Times analyzing the differences between the novel and movie versions of Children of Men.

And make sure to read Anthony Sacramone's truly excellent take on the film and its differences from the book. I think he pushes the movie's anti-Bush leanings a little further than they actually go, but he does a marvelous job of reading into the book's Christian themes and how they've been gutted--indeed, used to entirely opposite ends--in the movie.
