But something like this happens every year: some excellent films don't even have a chance to be nominated (such as "The Shawshank Redemption" in the distance, and "Mary and Max" last year), and others can be seen by the discerning eye. It's a bad movie but a grand entrance into the room to accept the review of the so-called highest palace in the film industry, such as this one, don't let me go. It can be seen that the Shenma awards are all clouds, and only time is the best judge to distinguish the dross from the essence.
It's worth considering whether a dull, grueling film that calls into question its authenticity can get an Oscar nomination and so much attention simply because it has a few stars, a deep (but by no means new) subject matter.
Someone once said that as long as it can contribute to your soul values, it is a good movie. I'm not that harsh. I think a movie that doesn't feel sleepy, boring and time-wasting during the entire viewing process is not very good, at least it's a good movie, as long as it can make you stick to the chair firmly.
In addition to introducing the 30 minutes of the childhood of several protagonists, "Don't Let Me Go" lacks a main line that attracts the audience to continue watching. The screenwriter ignores some parts that are usually narrated in movies, such as how dark and inhuman the place where clones are raised except for the school where several protagonists live in the film, and ignores the emotional and dramatic conflicts that should be there several times (such as a how teachers of conscience struggle to tell students who they are; a love-hate entanglement between several protagonists) seems to be trying to avoid some clichés. However, while the director and the main creators are "unique", they also ignore the most basic human nature and the normal psychology of being a creature - even ants will steal their lives, but the film has never explained so many clones who were raised normally. Why do people have such a "non-human" or even "non-biological" attitude towards death - from many places in the film, it can be seen that they are afraid of death, but no one has made even a little effort to their own destiny of dying early struggle. Because of some extraordinary education or some terrifying control, they will have the joys and sorrows of normal people but not the instinct to survive? The film does not give an answer, thus becoming a fatal flaw.
We are against pretense. I would rather "Don't Let Me Go", like Michael Bay's "Island", shows the war between clones and ordinary humans nakedly, rather than evading some routines to make the film dull and pretentious and unworthy of consideration .
Watching a film like this is a waste of life and dilutes the quality of fans' lives, and I've read and written this film review just for fun. Please learn my lessons, cherish life, and stay away from bad movies.
