What themes does Kazuo Ishiguro like?

The protagonist of "Leave Traces of the Past" is a stereotypical housekeeper; "Don't Let Me Go" is a group of children who grew up as "organ backups". These people are the most likely to be "dehumanized" and "depersonalized".

He likes to describe the humanity and individuality of such people, especially giving them love.

The contrast of the large color difference is more exciting and moving. A lot of movies, novels, paintings are like this. The audience also likes this set.

To me, this movie has nothing but great actors, beautiful graphics, and decent music—except, of course, Carey Mulligan's childish face. Because this movie is just a cliché, nothing new.

Acting sober and cold-blooded doesn't mean anything at all. I didn't mean that either. I just thought, what would I think if I were one of those people in the movie who needed an organ transplant?

Don't worry about arguing with me, what if it was you? What if it was your family?

I'm just curious, is there a limit to our understanding and sympathy for others and things? If so, where is it?

    It hurts too much to look wronged. In addition, there is a setting that I don’t understand. Everyone has a clone, and the clones will have their organs removed one after another until they die. Does every original person (real body) have a disease that is so severe that they need to change their organs several times in their 20s and 30s in their lifetime? ? ? Even if there is a problem with the earth's ecology, the original version will not be seriously ill. The clones are all lively and healthy, right?
