A character named Bronx, one of two men accompanying the main hero, does have the geography of New York memorised, and he also has a pincer-like prosthetic attachment where his right hand should be, making him a cyborg of sorts. Also, the so-called "ape-like mutants" described in the Wikipedia page look more like neanderthals than apes. I suggest you look up footage of the movie to confirm whether it genuinely conflicts with your memory or not, rather than quickly dismissing it on the basis of the Wiki page. | |
| Oct 7, 2021 at 10:50 | comment | added | Chris H | @Lyzvaleska I can easily believe that - it was the female infertility in the title of this question that reminded me of the novel so may have biased my recollection. | |
| Oct 7, 2021 at 9:37 | comment | added | Lyzvaleska | @ChrisH I read the book a long time ago, but I vividly remember the male protagonist "forced" to take fertility tests each month to try to detect anything viable | |
| Oct 7, 2021 at 8:16 | comment | added | Chris H | @MarkFoskey quite possibly, though having only read the book I recalled female infertility. That could be me though, especially as wikipedia implies both male and female | |
| Oct 7, 2021 at 8:16 | comment | added | Chris H | @DarrelHoffman indeed, another one I re-read recently, but probably the best known | |
| Oct 7, 2021 at 1:08 | comment | added | cannonfodder | This movie is similar in some ways but I don't think this was it. The movie I remember was an American production with American actors. There were no 'ape-like mutants'. I don't think it had '2019' in the title, either. | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 22:03 | comment | added | Mark Foskey | My understanding about Children of Men, from a review I read of the movie, was that it was male infertility in the book and female infertility in the movie. | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 17:14 | comment | added | Darrel Hoffman | @ChrisH That or A Handmaid's Tale, book, film, opera, or currently running TV series. | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 15:45 | comment | added | Chris H | @Make42 that's how I remembered it, but Wikipedia didn't say so. I must admit it's years since I read it and I'm more into books than films, but it's got good reviews and I'd watch it. I was reading a lot of detective stuff at the time, and picked up a PD James without looking at the back - a good surprise. My local library has a copy, and I'm passing tomorrow, except it's out and overdue. | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 15:40 | comment | added | Make42 | @ChrisH: Children of Men also depicts loss of female fertility. | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 13:06 | comment | added | Chris H | And the film I stuffed up the link to, being a little shorter, would still allow time to make a couple of omelettes. | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 12:24 | comment | added | Chris H | Or watch Children of Men(https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Children_of_Men) instead, better yet read [the book. I'd misremembered, in that it's male fertility (and it's set in the UK, and was written too late to have been to fit the title of this question - but it's good) | |
| Oct 6, 2021 at 9:30 | comment | added | Valorum | For the record, this film is awful. Rather than watching it, I'd recommend you use the 1hr 36 minutes to practice cooking the perfect omelette or organise your sock drawer | |
