I watched the trailer, then saw the book in the library, borrowed it, and then watched the movie. The feeling of reappearing slowly in this way is amazing.

Then I will talk about some differences between movies and novels. Since the books have already been returned, I can only compare them based on memory. I also hope that you can give us more suggestions. I will only mention the differences in the novels that are worthy of your attention.

Tom and Cathy’s first encounter with the

novel is that Tom is a boy who is often ridiculed and bullied. After the game, Tom yelled on the grass, the mud was splashed all over, and Tom was wearing a nice polo shirt, Cathy felt He spoiled his clothes by doing this, so he stepped forward to remind him that Tom had a good impression of her. Then Tom and Cathy had a few secret meetings. Tom told Cathy that Mrs. Lucy persuaded him that talent or creativity is not important at all. Then they began to discuss why the teacher said that. This was a clue in the novel.

Regarding sex

, Halesham’s students received sex education very early, and the teacher would take two human skeletons to tell them how to make love. Teachers in the school are also arguing whether they should teach the children this. One group thinks that this kind of teaching corrupts the style of study, and the other thinks that teaching students how to have sex can make their body organs develop better, and at the same time prepare them for entering society in the future. In addition, the teacher also told them that clones cannot become pregnant. It is mentioned in the novel that Cathy sometimes has sexual urges. She thinks that she should find a classmate to "combine", not because of love, but just to meet physical needs, so Cathy actually had sex in Halesham.

About the tape

One of the songs on the tape that Cathy got at the trade fair was called "Never Let Me Go". She liked that song very much. When she was listening to it in the dormitory, she couldn’t help holding her pillow in her arms and dancing. At this time, she I saw Madam (that is, Madam) crying at the door of the dormitory, but when she found Madam, Madam quickly left. Cathy sang this song on pillows as babies. She felt that the lady must be crying because she was sorry for her infertility. However, when Cathy and Tom went to see his wife many years later, she asked the wife why she was crying. The wife said that she saw a child abandoned by the world begging people to keep her. This paragraph reflects a certain idea of ​​the novel, that is, we are always used to living in the world we think we think, and are unwilling to leave.

In addition, Cathy’s tape was lost once. Ruth tried to help her find it, but it was in vain. Finally, he sent another tape to Cathy. Later, when they grew up, they drove to Delphi. Cathy and Tom were in a video store, Cathy Finding the long-lost tape, Tom said, how much he hopes it is him who finds the tape.

In the

novel about the truth , another teacher (always lucy in the movie) saw the children on the field talking about their future, drivers, actors. . . The teacher couldn't help but walked to the court and told the children that they were donors, but the children didn't agree with it, and they rarely talked about it.

Regarding going to

see the wife, Cathy and Tom finally met the wife and then the principal. At that time, someone moved things at the principal's house, and it could be seen that the principal was changing the property and had a very shabby life. Then the principal explained to them about the gallery, I think there was too little said in the movie. The principal said that Halesham's purpose is to nurture children with souls, even though they are clones. In the 1960s and 1970s, the school used student paintings for exhibitions all over the world to show the world the beauty of cloned children in order to treat clones more humanely. However, another scientist's attempt to create the so-called "optimized clones" touched the nerves of the public. People were worried that clones would replace them, so the hard work of the teachers in Halesham was wiped out. The principal said that after that incident, the direction of public opinion changed. The political content in the movie has been weakened. Originally, I was looking forward to a montage~
