This is a typical British movie, and if it is an American movie, it must have a dew point kiss and a great uprising of all clones. Only a British film can tell a story of sadness and despair so quietly, and embed the eternal theme of the dignity of life deeply in the hearts of every viewer.
From the very beginning they were donors, tools, in that school, they had to educate all the movement just to be a qualified donor, they were isolated from this society as much as possible, never went to a coffee shop, did not Real shopping, no job, just being a donor and waiting for the end of your life. Just like Keira Knightley looking at her model through the glass of a travel agency, she is the same person, but can never be the same person. Because it is impossible to be the same kind of person, they are like the boat on the beach, staying on the beach so close to the waves forever, but can never sail to the sea. Just like them, although they are human, they can never enjoy the dignity and happiness of human beings.
In this despair, in this short and uncontrollable life journey, love has become the donor's only solace, the only light in their bleak life. As human beings, we enjoy human dignity that no one else can take away from us. In the vast night, when the last hope was shattered, a desperate Tommy screamed wildly on the country road. His desire for life and his nostalgia for love brought tears to his eyes.

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • Kathy: It had never occurred to me that our lives, which had been so closely interwoven, could unravel with such speed. If I'd known, maybe I'd have kept tighter hold of them and not let unseen tides pull us apart.

  • [first lines]

    Kathy: My name is Kathy H. I'm 28 years old. I've been a carer for nine years. And I'm good at my job. My patients always do better than expected, and are hardly ever classified as agitated, even if they're about to make a donation. I'm not trying to boast, but I feel a great sense of pride in what we do. Carers and donors have achieved so much. That said, we aren't machines. In the end it wears you down. I suppose that's why I now spend most of my time not looking forwards, but looking back, to The Cottages and Hailsham, and what happened to us there. Me. Tommy. And Ruth.
