I keep hearing titles of films which make some reference - explicit or implicit - to children. I haven't seen the films, but as soon as I hear the titles, I create narratives in my head. And all the narratives somehow return to deaths of children.
Little Children - a woman spends her life trying to cope with the fact that she will never have a relationship with a child older than the age of 4 because none of her children seem to be able to live past this age.
Children Of Men - a woman loses her children in a horrible accident caused by her irresponsible, immature husband.
The City Of Lost Children - a fable in which young children are whisked away from their parents to a place where their souls are used to feed the world.
Au Revoir Les Enfants - the story of a support group set up by people trying to cope with the deaths of their children.
Children Of A Lesser God - a family tries to deal with the loss of a child who was accidentally killed by a priest.
Is this becoming too morbid?
