What is depressing is that they will not resist, but just accept such an arrangement. I think maybe it's because of the worldview they've been instilled in since childhood. Hayerson, the boarding school where they grew up, is the only fond memory of their lives (at least in their eyes). It is heavily guarded and isolated from the outside world, and the students are clones whose fate is to donate their organs as adults, once, twice, three times, until they die. Helson is the last place that cares about the mind and soul of clones, and it's pathetic.
There are also some small details that are suppressed. Casey reads porn magazines to find her original body, the reason is ridiculous, it is because she thinks she has a sexual drive, maybe the original body is a model... There are rumors that couples can apply for "delayed" organ donation 3- 4 years, but there must be evidence, this may be a kind of hypnosis to prolong hope... In order to apply with Casey, Tommy draws like crazy, he thinks that the teachers asked them to draw in order to understand them. The soul of the (weird...), but he was very bad at drawing when he was a child, so his paintings were not kept in the gallery... He and Casey went to the old principal with a dozen paintings, only to find out , those paintings are to let them know that they have a soul... At the end of the film, Casey and Tommy who is about to die...
If the film is not just about clones, you can feel it when you watch it. Birth, old age, sickness and death, studying and working, contributing to society, are similar to the trajectories of clones in the film. They didn't run away, where did they run? It's like working day after day, sometimes boring, sometimes tired, sometimes confused, but still going to work the next day. The value of life? No answer.
