For me, this kind of small and fresh British literary film should have almost reached the level of 3 stars. The linear story is simple and illusion-like clarification, and the gentleness is stretched. However, Tommy's heart-piercing performance in front of the final road lights and Kathy's embrace made people dazed and condensed repeatedly, and still gave a 4-star evaluation.
This is probably the so-called sweet and warm betrayal that women show in details. I am always fascinated by the tragic element of this sense of fate. It is not about birth, old age, sickness and death, but not being able to ask for it. It means that there are individuals who can become more worthy of existence, but what life is like is no more incredible than its existence. Therefore, the existence of the art gallery in the film is only a question of proof, and ambiguous ethics cannot solve the long-term unhealing. rootlessness. . . . Fortunately, my intellectual ability in the Neolithic Age is probably unaware of such complex and delicate tool structures. . . .
Also, the ending of this film is also literary enough, I want to go to a thousand miles of smoke, and the twilight is deep. Romanticism, in Heine's words, is the flower of passion sprouting from the blood of Christianity, the awakening of sleepwalking medieval poetry, the spire of a dream, watching with the pathetic gaze of a grinning ghost following you.
Finally, don't have the idea of ​​seeing death as home, or you will really return. . .

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.
