It's been a long time since I watched the so-called literary film. The beautiful British countryside scenery in the 1970s, the elegant and beautiful picture style, the soothing soundtrack, and the low-hearted inner voice of the heroine all came slowly, giving people a very quiet feeling. I feel that there is too much depression... When I watch it, I always unconsciously think of the movie "Escape from the Clone Island". It has similar script inspiration and the same clone theme. narrated slowly in a relatively peaceful and quiet atmosphere. Although it lacks a climax, it can often resonate inadvertently.
In the film, it is about three good friends who grew up in a boarding school and learned that they were clones. Their fate after growing up was to donate again and again until they died on the operating table. The film toned down the acrimonious ethical debates about human cloning, organ transplants, etc., and only reflected on the lives of these "people" who graduated from the Hayerson School. They moved from one host family to another, escorted them to the hospital, lay on the operating table again and again, and resumed their lives again and again until they died.
Unlike us, Casey, they have no choice. Others will become actors, live in the United States, work in supermarkets, or become teachers as they grow older; they may also become athletes, school bus drivers, or race car drivers. Both are possible. But I know your future. None of you will immigrate to America, neither of you will work in a supermarket, you will just live according to the path laid out for you. You will grow up, but when the time of adulthood is short and you are not old or even middle-aged, you will start donating your vital organs. This is why you were created. Sometimes, after three or four donations, you die. You need to know who you are and who you are going to be so you can have a wonderful life.
But, Casey, can they have a wonderful life? I don't know what kind of education the Hayerson school instilled in them. But I can guess. The issue of human clone organ transplantation, which has been debated in public opinion and ethics for a long time, was quietly raised by this slender teacher. It was as if the old woman touched Casey's face after Kathy and Tommy failed to apply for a deferment and said, "You are so pitiful." This is really the proud and pitiful emanation of selfish human beings from the bottom of their hearts. This pitifully tarnishes their dignity. Who is the real poor man?
If "Escape from Clone Island" is a radical film that is full of enthusiasm, "Don't Let Me Go" is an elegy that touches people with a delicate and sensitive sadness. They pondered in their hearts not to let me go, but calmly watched the organs being removed from their bodies again and again. Each of us is an independent individual, and we should have the right to control our own life and death.
A key item throughout the film is Kathy's favorite cassette, the one that Tommy gave her as a child, which sings "Never let me go." The cassette, Kathy, has been kept because it represents her love for Tommy. However, no matter how much love there is, she can only watch the person she loves lying on the cold operating table at the end of a short life. And all of this is without a choice.
"I was crying for a completely different reason." When I watched you dance that day, I saw something else. I saw a new world coming quickly.Yes. More scientific, more effective, yes. There are more remedies for the diseases of the past. It is very good, but it is a very ruthless and cruel world. I saw a little girl with her eyes closed and her breasts holding the benevolent old world, a her In her heart she knew the unstoppable world, and she was holding it and begging: don't leave her. That's what I see. I know, it's not really you, or what you're doing, but when I saw you, it broke my heart. " -
The end of "Don't Leave Me" is not scary; the fate of loneliness is the sadness in their hearts. When Tommy also left for organ donation, Kathy came to the big tree alone. She said that I was looking at the boundless horizontal line in the distance, hoping that there would be a vague shadow. You can imagine how much she loves Tommy. What is the difference between the fate of the donor and the recipient? This is a tragedy. Their existence, in the end, is just to live for others.
