So "light" that I also talk "lightly"

The two-and-a-half-star

director and screenwriter do not know whether to tell us that fate cannot be resisted through this "lightness", or to say that love flows so lightly in life. I want to shoot such a sensitive subject of organ donation, with love, humanity, and various faces, but gradually, even if the protagonists hear the dismissed teacher Lucy inform them of their future fate, the days still flow so lightly. Sometimes I can't help but wonder, when "producing" them (please forgive me for using this word, because people who can't think can only use this kind of word), is it like a robot that disobeys and blows itself up Destiny, if the director and screenwriter give me a statement, that is, if you want to escape and fight against destiny, I will kill you through that thing in your hand that makes a beep every day! In this way, I can also understand why the mental journey of these children destined to be donated for more than 20 years is so "light"!

I believe that there must be a person with a "light" personality, who will accept some things "lightly" and calmly, but it doesn't mean that when someone wants to dig your organs, you can still not panic, unlike any normal person's reaction. Same, at least find a chance to escape, right? ! Throughout the article, apart from hearing that true love can be exchanged for deferred donations, which I can barely define as a struggle, there is really no TMD anger at all! If you want to radiate this emotion ten thousand times, you may see the occasional cry and despair of TOMMY!

The love and friendship that must be interspersed is really another major criticism of this film. If it weren't for some kind of true love plot to make people despair again, I really have to suspect that the screenwriter's brain has been squeezed out of the door! ! ! Although the film is almost over! When I was writing the movie review, the speakers were playing "Forgive Me For Being Such A Girl" by Penny Dai. I really wanted to sing "Forgive Me For Being Such A Director or Screenwriter" for the director and screenwriter, and then sing "Forgive Me Forgiveness" for myself as an audience. I just don't understand."

Finally, if you are crazy about this film, you can watch Andrew Garfield. If you want to find a little bit of a "faint" philosophical feeling, you can watch Female No. 1. If you want to directly discover the bloody blood of those who donated organs, they are not regarded as human beings. ', see what Lucy, played by Kate, looked like when she died.

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.
