opening narration first laid the tone of the science fiction film, and all incurable diseases can be cured ,But when I saw the time in 1952, I didn't think it would be science fiction.
At first everything was beautiful and pure. Children, healthy children, schools with complete teaching conditions, British scenery, and the love of two small and unpredictable ~
However, why These children are all under such strict management, wearing a signal device on the wrist, especially in terms of health, regular check-ups and absolutely no smoking, etc.? Where do these children come from? Is this an orphan school?
A real The new teacher who couldn't bear to deceive the children, because she couldn't stand the condemnation in her heart, no matter whether the children understood it or not, she had to tell them the truth, so she was fired, and we probably understood the original situation of these children. Existence is only for organ donation.
A key plot after growing up is to find the real body. It is clear that the sci-fi tone of cloning is actually here. These lives are purely "manufactured" by human beings to deal with diseases. .As
with almost all sci-fi, the audience's sweet spot is: it is "made" by humans, and has its own feelings and thoughts.
The difference here is nothing more than other sci-fi that creates robots, aliens, mutant creatures, etc., while Here, it is people, it is these lives that are no different from you and me.
PS, at the end of the credits, the soundtrack at the end of the subtitles is to repeat the song that the children sang in the auditorium. Tears are coming, hearing this, maybe I can't hold it anymore
