In the novel, after several turns, Ruth finally gave the hand of a good friend to another good friend. Regarding this feeling that has come too late and too late, the narrator of the story, Cathy, still maintains a constant calm. The tone of voice is not overly exaggerated, everything is plain and plain on the surface. This lack of strong affection, even in the last meeting with his wife, was extremely restrained, a kind of "forbearance" peculiar to Orientals was immersed in the words. Only in the end, in the Lost Lands of Norfolk, where Tommy helped Cathy retrieve her beloved record (she never lost it in the movie), Cathy said, "I lost him only a few weeks ago." , She "didn't cry", but "tears rolled down my face".
The film focuses on this affection that has grown since childhood. The part that tells the story of the three protagonists is put on the screen in a proper manner, and there is no plot beyond the original.
However, the calmness of this forbearing feeling and the few depictions are far from enough to support the love line that the film regards as the backbone of the film. As a result, the film appears very thin. Carey Mulligan and his party have cleared tears, but I feel emotionally accumulated. There is too little land, and the explosive ground is not convincing.
In fact, if the screenwriter can sacrifice the blogger’s eyeballs and the eternal love bridge, and make the three protagonists serve the big theme-Halesham, if they can focus on childhood experiences, strengthen the portrayal of the teacher (rather than the curriculum Scribbled, it's better not to mention) Then the film may be able to highlight a serious topic that Kazuo Ishiguro wants to express, and distinguish it from the entertainment, thrill and doomsday complex of movies of the same theme, and rise to an "epic" Moral Horror Story".
I prefer to copy what was written in the book at the beginning of the movie, and Cathy’s donors repeatedly asked her questions about Halesham. Halesham, the place where Cathy and her friends grew up, a place where there is friendship and love, a place where she learns to appreciate art and literature, and a place where she was given the care and education of human nature, she looked back at the past, In the nostalgia for the scenes of childhood, I finally understand the difficulty of the founder and maintainer of Halesham, and understand the luck of being a student of Halesham all the time. During the period, there were several conflicts between the teacher and the students: Miss Lucy’s inconsistent opinions on Tommy’s creativity; the lady who owns the "gallery" was afraid of the students that she could not hide; Miss Lucy was on a pouring rain day , I heard the "actor dream" and "American dream" of the young students in the noisy gymnasium, and suddenly gave a clear explanation of their identity (rather than lecture in a silent classroom, The students just sat down obediently) and the lady’s tears of the song “Never Let Me Go” were strung together and pushed to the final climax: the lady told Cathy that the meaning of this song to her "I Seeing a new world coming quickly. More scientific and more effective, yes. There are more treatments for past diseases. It is very good, but it is a very ruthless and cruel world. I saw a little Girl, she closed her eyes tightly, and embraced the benevolent old world in her chest, a world that she knew in her heart could not be kept, and she was holding this world and begging: Don't leave her."
Miss Emily in the film refutes Tommy’s conjecture about the gallery, saying that the collection of artworks “is not to identify your souls, but to see if you have souls.” This creates a weird atmosphere and makes People almost have to feel resentment towards the people who started Halesham, maintained their painstaking efforts, always had to fight their own hearts, and overcome the disgust of "looking down at you from the study window"-and these very few, are In this game between science and morality, people who are tenacious choose morality. Finally, Cathy in the movie also raised the question of whether clones are different from normal people. This is a progressive and profound question, but it should be raised by the audience, because the characters of Kazuo Ishiguro include these. A clone who cannot decide his own destiny, "is a quiet victim, accepts his fate and silently accepts'responsibility', and does not know what'struggle' is." What he is dedicated to expressing is that "people do not have any rights and abilities. , Can still do good things and choose the right path."
It is this acceptance of fate that makes Cathy and her friends so different from other characters, and it is these powerless clones that make people think about the fate of these new species with souls. And Halesham has gone with the wind, it only exists in Cathy's memory, and in the memory of fewer and fewer clones and humans who have worked hard. Where is the shelter for this special group? How many human beings are willing to think about this problem? Have the courage to take this responsibility? In an era when science is supreme and morality is declining, the wheels of history are rolling forward, leading us in a direction that is unpredictable and impossible to look back.

Carey's empty expression is really full of content. Compared to Garfield, it looks much more rigid, but Tommy is a clumsy person, so it still fits the image of the novel~
KK made a big sacrifice this time. I feel sorry for how she was shaped so bitchy (especially when she went to Cathy at night and told Cathy that she and Tommy were a couple--) After two donations, she was very haggard. She was originally thin, so As soon as it became thinner, the eye sockets were sunken, so pitiful...
Is that Bill in the cottage? Haha~~~ But his girlfriend is very steal the spotlight, the acting is in place!
Halesham’s "School Song" is indeed very nice, but at the end he even echoed it. It seems to be a sad scene—but! The title is just a song! Originally, there is not enough questions, but let's do it like this, how can the title be so embarrassing~~
