Pink Floyd Homage in Film 'Children of Men'

Opening in the UK on September 22nd, and the US on September 29th, is a new film from director Alfonso Cuarón which includes a clear homage to Pink Floyd.

"Children of Men" takes a look at what happens to society when all women become infertile. It features a world one generation from now that has fallen into anarchy on the heels of an infertility defect in the population. The world's youngest citizen has just died at 18, and humankind is facing the likelihood of its own extinction. Set against a backdrop of London torn apart by violence and warring nationalistic sects, "Children of Men" follows an unlikely champion of Earth's survival: Theo (Clive Owen), a disillusioned ex-activist turned bureaucrat, who is forced to face his own demons and protect the planet's last remaining hope.

About a quarter of the way into the movie, there's a shot of a car driving up to what is clearly the Battersea Power Station, and if you look between the chimneys, there is the very noticible shape of a pig floating between them. The cover of Pink Floyd's 1977 album "Animals" has long been a favourite of fans, and one can only presume that Cuarón and/or some of the other production staff are also fans.
