Never let me go is unexpected, very unbeautiful. There are no chainsaw axes, no possessed evil spirits, all the elements of terrifying horror films are not there, not even a drop of blood, but it makes me terrified like never before. It is not a psychological shock, and the common psychopaths and mental madness have not appeared. Threats are out of the world, out of reach. It turns out that although it is an American director, British factors such as the original work, screenwriting, production, music, and actors are everywhere. If you ignore the premise, you would think this is a typical British literary film. A beautiful country house surrounded by greenery, children's grey or plaid school uniforms, light colors, a soothing rhythm, the occasional leaf and breeze... Life used to be pure and beautiful, just like everyone's childhood. We should let domestic directors come to watch and learn about this small production. Its atmosphere is like a lyrical soprano in the distance, unreachable but constant. Everything is going on calmly, like life, there are occasional small joys, most of them are real and plain. Tommy and Kathy are childhood sweethearts. That childhood smell is familiar to Chinese people. The suffocation has always been there, the faded colors in the beautiful childhood, the dim sky, the impassable fence, the taboo world outside the park. The most successful horror Asian films are mostly derived from death, and the religions of hell in Europe and the United States. Never let me go does not have the horror caused by the devil's soul taking his life, but it is beyond God's reach. It is wrong to live. Under the sun is Auschwitz without iron bars, and the three grown-up partners never thought of escaping. Like female Jews who use blood as rouge, they secretly "deferred donation" rumors. Maybe, get lucky? Maybe, can pass next time. For couples' paintings, you can decide whether to "deferred donation". Legends are like sparks in the ashes. The principal (Charlotte Rampling) sympathetically denied the matter to the two who came from afar. At that time, the school held an art exhibition to test their souls, and "who cares if you have souls for those who are suffering from cancer?" The biggest fear is invisible. Ruth (Keira Knightley) has been willing to "complete", complete, can also be interpreted as a kind of completion. The doctors are very professional. They cut open the body and take out a large piece of organs from the blood-stained surgical gown. The monitor panicked and showed a turbulent heartbeat, which soon turned into a straight line of sound. The doctors were unremarkable, unplugged their ventilators, packed their things, turned off the power, and left the operating room. From beginning to end, no one looked back at the solitary body. Carey Mulligan (Cathy) is the soul of the show. Don't be angry, don't argue, let everything happen. No hysteria or even sympathy. Except for a little love and sadness, as anyone can do on a daily basis. Kazuo Ishiguro, a writer with a Japanese face, is more British than the British. He is good at writing traditional and powerful. If human society forms a tradition, are some things not impossible? Casey asks himself at the end of the credits, "Would life be better for people in another world, [with our donation]?" Need self-evidence that human beings deserve to exist? I was horrified.
