A lightly sad, yet heart-wrenching movie

Breanna 2022-04-21 09:01:56

In this film, the colors of the picture are soft and warm, the rhythm of the film is slow, and the music is clean, but it tells a story about death. These children who grew up in Hayerson like an ivory tower, with innocent faces written on their faces, do not know the reality and cruelty of the outside world. Couples' pure nostalgia and yearning for life, looking forward to the dream of "deferred donation" because of true love, are shattered by the reality of "those who have cancer, who cares if you have souls?" So, all I can do is to helplessly shout and roar to the sky, and finally face the reality.

If a person's destiny is already doomed,
he does not have the right to choose to become a doctor, a teacher, or a supermarket cashier in the future, and
his existence is only for the lives of others,
then what is the meaning of life to himself?

    The movie I watched for the actor... I'm super disappointed, I haven't seen such a bad movie for a long time. The only feeling is that Kelly Morrigan's childhood version of the actor looks like her

    It's too dark, too tragic, and I struggled all night after reading it.

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • Ruth: You hear things, don't you.

    Kathy: What kind of things?

    Ruth: Well, you know... Maybe after the fourth donation, when you've technically 'completed', you're still conscious in a way. And then you find out that there's more donations, plenty of them. Just no more recovery centers, no more carers. Just watching and waiting... till they switch you off... I don't think I fancy that.

  • Tommy: I don't suppose you both heard that Hailsham was closed? The only schools left now, you hear they're like battery farms... I'm sure that's an exaggeration, though.
