Cherish is necessary. Because it's too easy, too frustrating and too painful to lose than to gain

When I started watching the title "Don't Let Me Go", I noticed the word "love". Thought it was a tender love story

The first act of the film is marked with a preconceived notion that it is a love history film.

Yes, I don't know if I ignored it deliberately or I really ignored the word "science fiction" by mistake. So much so that at the end of the whole film, I didn't realize it was a sci-fi movie.

The tone of the whole piece is retro and gray, and the scene is dark and depressing. The hero and heroine start and end the story at the moment when they look at each other on the operating table, and the development is based on reviewing the past and supporting some subjective narration of the heroine Casey as the storyline.

The story is depressing, and only at the end can a little bit of truth be vaguely understood. The protagonists in the story are also not clear about their own destiny. They vaguely know something, think, and fear.

There are many metaphors in the film between the feelings of men and women, which can be felt, but cannot be clearly understood. So there is a heavy depression. For example, Ruth is suddenly with the male protagonist, when Casey has a sexual desire, when the next door listens to the gasp of her lover and her best friend, and when I flip through a pornographic magazine, I find it obscure and difficult to understand. But the keynote feels depressing and sad. The film reaches its climax as the story unfolds. Ruth said she would go to see the dilapidated boats by the sea with her best friend before the fourth (last donation) (the clear feeling was when she died). I saw those eyes that wanted to escape and longed for freedom. I saw Ruth look back on the anguish and despair of some souls who have passed away in times of repentance and true freedom from true love.

I am understanding and thinking about whether the male and female protagonists are real love or souls longing for freedom. That cruel rejection, telling a man and woman who are in love and full of hope, love and painting are not the springboard to escape from donating their lives, (there are more metaphors in between).

But you can also see a lot of things in life that were originally hesitant. For example, being laughed at by everyone for being clumsy, being isolated in the game, and then the male protagonist yelled angrily, and even hurt the girl who was close to him unintentionally (line: If he learned to keep calm, they would not bully him) "If you let him calm down, you know that some things don't have to be too important"; for example, a girl's shame about sexual impulses, (line: I used to have a huge desire for sex, and sometimes this feeling will Strong enough to sleep with anyone.) "A hint about the person I'm simulating". Afraid that it was a slutty whore. When the three of them were separated (line: If I knew this earlier, I would cherish them more, and would not let the undercurrent tide break us apart) These points have always been very poignant. I also appreciate the final scene more, those fluttering flakes tied to iron thorns.

The music is my favorite part of the film, it expresses the moments in life that some people are remembering

"One day we will be scattered

People who sing together today go their separate ways

When we look back we can't help but dream

...

Good days blur the distance between each other

The fresh years under the sun and rain

Our joy and confusion

...

"

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.
