What I like about it is the heart-warming texture under the film lens. It's the taste of true England, with a bit of solemnity, and you can see the blood spurting in the calm scenery. That's it, barren and endless.
I think it's an almost hopeless story. They were born with an empty body that could not hold a soul, and lived a closed life that was repeated over and over again. They are worried, they count against every second, and they use their bleak torso to bear a meager love and hate. In fact, everything doesn't matter, no matter what, there is no way to escape the fate of not waking up again. In fact, everything is so-called, life must bloom to be able to resist the last destruction. As long as there is a heart, it needs to be filled with love.
The film time is too short and the connotation is too much, so the performance is out of balance and the tension is lost. Spending 90 minutes to discuss love, friendship, human nature, and social ethics is inevitably inaccurate, but these cannot stop me from being fascinated by the film itself, or perhaps the nihilistic world constructed by the original Japanese author makes people unable to follow.
Little is known about foreign actors. It happens that these three leading actors are all I can name, which in itself is not easy. Intimacy creates the illusion of "I like them a lot." And I really like them, clean faces, cool eyes, lonely and sad in the barren scenery, to be precise, what I like is their quiet and sad appearance. Carey Moligan has short hair, but instead is warm and soft. Keira Nightly is still beautiful, with a bit of sharpness and aggression. Andrew Garfield feels a little more lazy than [Social Network], which is even more distressing. The only difference is that they are all beautiful like people who have been living under the sun.
Their lives are destined to be tragic, and they will inevitably wither on the operating table in their unblooming years, but in the end, in mutual rescue and self-redemption, they still become happy people. It should also be a blessing to die on a predictable date, after dying to make up for one's shortcomings.
Please never let me go.
