This is a film that lacks sincerity to the audience.

This point of choosing a donor is quite philosophical and worth discussing. I thought I could watch a movie with a long aftertaste, but I spent two hours in a fog. First of all, it does not sufficiently describe such a world view that is far away from our real life, so that the audience wants to understand the moral rules and legal rules of the world in which Helson lives. It all depends on guesswork. If the audience does not understand this worldview, how can they empathize with their feelings and love? I was thinking, what do you want to express, is it the suffering of people under the system, the innocence of children, or the love that never ends? I believe that the book will not be bad, but the film has a lot of faults.

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.
