It's been two weeks since I lost him. I have been gaven my notice now. My first donation is in a month of time. I come here and imagine, this is the spot where everything I lost since my childhood has washed up. I tell myself, if that was true and I've wait long enough, then the tiny figure would appear on the horizon accross the field, and gradually get large until I see it was Tommy.
He'd wave, and maybe call. I don' t let fantasy go be on that. I can't let it. I remind myself, I was lucky to could have anytime with him at all. What I'm not sure about is if our life is been so different form the life of people we save. We all will complete, maybe none of us really understant what we've lived through, or feel we've had enought time.

    Whether the development of science and technology corresponds to the decline of morality, it is a huge fault that human beings have not been able to respect the living beings they have created with their own hands. Although I have seen a lot of animations about robots or clones before, I can really feel more sadness and depression by expressing it in such a live-action movie. http://ikan.pptv.com/p/10761048#1

    If you want to interpret it with the metaphor of "everyone is a donor", the film certainly has a far-reaching meaning. It is a pity that the pace of the whole film is too slow, the narrative style is old, and the literary style is diluted by science fiction. It can be described as nothing. The acting skills of the two heroines are worth boasting, and Tommy is more brilliant than an adult. This black story of the academy for raising orphans and the deliberate depiction of the operation part show that Kazuo Ishiguro’s roots still belong to Toei.
