"Don't Let Me Go"

The original book should provide a lot of allegorical space for the movie, and the tone of moving into the past and suggesting the future is also very pleasing. However, due to the time of the movie, many key plots cannot be covered in all aspects, such as the importance of the "deity", etc., and the plot for the sake of the plot does not add points to the atmosphere that the film should have.

It is a pity that the director has control over the actors. The three young actors have only been excavated to the most superficial level of performance, so the whole movie always feels that their performances are in place, but there are no more things, and all three of them have become The puppet of the story.

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.
