But if this life span is based on the continuous donation of organs by clones, are you still happy?
"Don't Let Me Go" tells such a story. One day, humans decided to clone a large number of people specifically to provide organs. At the beginning of the film, the cloned children still know nothing about their destiny. We see that they are immature and cute, making friends, and having a hazy affection for the opposite sex, just like all children. But one day, a new teacher who knew nothing about all of this learned about this secret. Her conscience made her decide to disclose this secret to the children: Your existence is to provide human organs, starting in adulthood and continuing until The body cannot support it. Other children have their own future. They may become sales assistants, pilots, or move to the United States, but you can’t. The most heartbreaking scene in this passage is: the children heard their cruel fate, the whole classroom is silent, maybe they still can't understand what this means, maybe they have already accepted the doomed fate. At this time, the quiet wind blew off a few pages of paper on the teacher's podium, and the silly TOMMY went to pick it up, and then quietly sat back in his seat. . .
The most shocking thing in the whole story is not the fate setting, but the children's attitude. They grew up slowly, and when they reached the age of love and love, they left school and were placed in cloned "villages", waiting for the day when they donated their organs. We can't see them struggling, resisting, or even trying to escape. We only see them walking towards their own destiny as a matter of course, only crying occasionally. Some people may wonder, why don't they escape? It seems that they are completely "free", and there is no prison in which they are locked. The most shocking thing is the terrifying "tension" formed between the apparent "freedom" and the actual "non-escape". . .
This movie made me cry several times because it reminds me of my own life. The process of growing up is the illusion of "freedom" that is constantly shattering, and it is the process of giving up "escape" step by step. Isn't this story a fable, isn't it me, you, and him? TOMMY, your heart-piercing howl at the sky, every sound seems to be my own.
There is no freedom to talk about who can't escape. When "the purpose of human cloning is to donate organs for humans" has become a system of the entire society, where can you escape? Count on human help? Even the teacher who revealed the secret has been expelled from society. If you want to survive in society, humans can only harden their hearts. All the humans who interacted with them coldly held the attitude of "they are just clones", and even gave them a smile and warm eyes. I know you can’t condemn those people, otherwise what?
The children love to watch the sea. They sit curled up on the trestle and watch the sunset. The sea seems to be a symbol of freedom, but it does not belong to them. After all, we still have to say: we should go back. Return to his inescapable destiny.
People should not look at the sea, and should not imagine freedom. Anyone who thinks of being exhausted can't see the way out. Only those who don't see or don't want to think that freedom is in themselves.
But even if there is no freedom, can we still have dignity? When revealing their cruel fate, the teacher said: Only by knowing who and where you are can you have dignity. Even if this "knowing" makes us burst into tears in the hopeless distance. I think this is what we can do as human beings.
