The author of the original soundtrack is a delicate female composer, who sets off the whole atmosphere very well. Everything starts from Cathy H's memory. The story is like a river, flowing quietly, and then extends, unfolds, returns to the sea, and annihilates.
Pain of Fate
Is life meaningful?
Having discussed this question with myself and others more than once, as an absolute skeptic and pessimist, my standard answer is:
life never means anything, everything is self-illusion. All life is born by chance.
Perhaps this assertion is negative and gives no hope.
It was only today that I realized how lucky I am to have this kind of living method from another point of view.
There is a word called destiny.
Many people like to use it to describe that life follows an irresistible trajectory. In fact, it is often regarded as a meaning of life.
This fate, in many literary and dramatic works, is always assigned by God. In fact, it can also be given directly by society.
The three clone protagonists in the film are given an unquestionable destiny by the times and society: Donor.
Many people always want to know who they will be in the future and what kind of people will they become?
Here we go, the answer is revealed directly.
But after knowing this too early, everything will naturally be complete?
You must know that in the next life, you will live a life in which everything is arranged and step by step.
How comfortable is it? In the beginning, we'd presumably grow up as carefree and happy as the kids in Hailsham were always willing to champion Ms. Emily, who provided them with this pre-determined life.
Is it really?
What Ms. Lucy, who was finally kicked out of Hailsham, said with a sad heart to the child broke many things:
"Do you know what will happen to the child when he grows up?"
"No, you don't know, because no one knows. .”
When a normal child grows up, he can become an actor, he can emigrate, he can become a supermarket employee, a bus conductor, he can become an athlete, they can become almost anyone.
"But your destiny is doomed." You
won't be an actor, you won't be able to emigrate to a foreign land, and you won't be able to become a supermarket employee, a bus conductor, or an athlete.
Just be the pre-determined self. a donor.
Living only according to the arranged process, and knowing clearly about this destiny is the only way to live decently.
Anyone else want to know what the meaning of their life is right now?
Some people might argue that this is a special case, we are not those pathetic clones, we are free to choose our lives.
But is our life really much freer than theirs?
The classic line of Trainspotting is not, "Choose life, choose work, choose career, choose family. Choose TMD and a big TV. Choose washing machine, car, CD player, electric can opener. Choose healthy, low calorie road, low sugar. Choose Fixed rate home loan. Choose starting point, choose friends, choose sportswear and luggage. Choose a TMD three-piece suit.... Choose DIY, and on a Sunday morning, TMD can't figure out who she is. Choose to be bored on the couch It can be said that the most shameless thing is to choose corruption and make a selfish kid from your sperm to replace you. Choose your future, choose your life." In the
end, Lian said The right to "no" is buried and has to make choices again and again, until the day you die.
At most, we have a few more lousy choices than the donor. What's so great?
Is there a choice that is not being set for you by the society you are in?
How many people live every day just to cope with life. Even if you paint an ideal blueprint for yourself and start gearing up, the answer often ends up like a hopeful Cathy and Tommy with years of hard work to prove how sincere their souls are and how worthy they are. Live a few more years in this world.
"We don't care if your soul is sincere or not," said the blank-faced Ms. Emily. We even doubt that you have souls.
Because they don't even care what you care most. People who are familiar with this scene, welcome to reality.
Destiny is sometimes a rose with thorns.
When admiring it from a distance, an exciting sense of mission arises spontaneously.
When you really have the opportunity to hold it for a closer look, you will find that the thorns under the petals are its essence after a short-lived appearance.
Loneliness and Sin
God thought Adam was too lonely, so he made Eve. Eve felt that the Garden of Eden was too boring and could not stand the temptation to steal the forbidden fruit. In the end, the two were expelled from heaven together.
The original sin of mankind stems from this.
Humans are social animals and fear loneliness more than death (in fact, death is eternal loneliness). Just think about how many criminals are in prison, because they have never been accepted by society, they lose control and take revenge for everything.
Ruth is probably the most annoying character in the film. In order not to want to be abandoned alone, he is willing to take away the sweetheart of his good friend, and the three have been entangled since then.
I like her because she dares to love and hate, dare to act, dare to confess, and dare to try her best to atone for her sins. In her, I saw the most real humanity.
Life is too short, we always hope to leave eternal moments in love, as if in this way, our lives are extended between each other.
In this ever-changing and ever-changing world, we always feel fortunate, and there is a little bit of constant warmth that is worth our trust.
This is an addiction that we are born with, and we can temporarily forget all the pain in it.
This will also become a sin that cannot be thrown away, so we gradually learn to taste the pain of loneliness as we mature.
At the end, to borrow Cathy's question,
what is the difference between donors and those who accept donations?
What is the difference between us and them?
We don't know what the meaning of the past experience is, but we don't feel that this life is really enough.
Probably all of this is as Buddhists say, unthinkable and unthinkable.
Respect, our group of life born by chance.
Respect, one open-ended life.
