Did no one notice the hint the headmistress gave at the beginning?

The unsmooth plot is the flaw of this film. I vaguely feel that the director wants to express something deep, but the illogical main story is so dazzling that people can't look directly at it.
Male lead, have you ever loved the female one from beginning to end?
I'm sorry, I'm a bad-tempered clone with no opinion, so it's your problem that you didn't realize that I was deeply affectionate towards her from start to finish.
Please screenwriter brother, if you can't lay out the clues clearly in advance, don't suddenly come out that the male lead and the second female are just playing on the scene. After many years, you suddenly realize that true love for the first female is such a bridge, okay, not a dog. Bloody Latin soap opera. (I don't even want to talk about stick dramas anymore.)
I don't even want to mention the question of whether the clones can escape. The key is that the director's background is not clearly explained, leaving the audience confused.
Also, didn’t anyone find the correct escape route given by the headmistress at the beginning? All the delays are smoke bombs. Didn’t the headmistress say it at the beginning? I found a few cigarette butts in the school garden. Our famous school Students are determined not to smoke because it is harmful to health. Then if you clone people don't want to donate organs, you can do the opposite. Don't you have the tapes in exchange for tokens, the music is good, and you can exchange cigarettes with the gardener. . . It's better to get yourself a lung cancer slowly, or just find someone with AIDS. The incubation period for AIDS is 10 years at most, which is better than your extended 4 years.
Anyway, the picture and music are also soso, vaguely have a bit of Taiwanese literary accent. Maybe the original is great, but I haven't seen the original. Personally, I think the remake of this movie was unsuccessful, at least it didn't give me the urge to remake the original. The positioning of the whole film is still unclear. Is it a sci-fi romance film? None of these three imaginable points have been stepped on properly, perhaps because like others who felt that they had a chance to escape from the beginning, I was not in the play from the beginning.

    I think this movie fits the title A Sadder Than Sad Story a little bit more than the other movie that goes by that name.

Never Let Me Go quotes

  • [last lines]

    Kathy: It's been two weeks since I lost him. I've been given my notice now. My first donation is in a month's time. I come here and imagine that this is the spot where everything I've lost since my childhood has washed out. I tell myself, if that were true, and I waited long enough, then a tiny figure would appear on the horizon across the field, and gradually get larger until I'd see it was Tommy. He'd wave and maybe call. I don't let the fantasy go beyond that. I can't let it. I remind myself I was lucky to have had any time with him at all. What I'm not sure about is if our lives have been so different from the lives of the people we save. We all complete. Maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through, or feel we've had enough time.

  • Miss Lucy: The problem is you've been told and not told. That's what I've seen while I've been here. You've been told but none of you really understand. So I've decided I'll talk to you in a way that you will understand. Do you know what happens to children when they grow up? No, you don't, because nobody knows. They might grow up to become actors, move to America. Or they might work in supermarkets. Or teach in schools. They might become sportsmen or bus conductors or racing car drivers. They might do almost anything. But with you we do know. None of you will go to America. None of you will work in supermarkets. None of you will do anything except live the life that has already been set out for you. You will become adults, but only briefly. Before you are old, before you are even middle-aged, you will start to donate your vital organs. That's what you were created to do. And sometime around your third or fourth donation, your short life will be complete.

    Miss Lucy: You have to know who you are, and what you are. It's the only way to lead decent lives.
