It reveals all to you because you read the book, I am in chapter 3 and I know a little about the story, the trailer didn’t ruin anything for me as I had feared.
"We didn't have the gallery in order to look into your souls. We had the gallery to see if you had souls at all." probably the most devastating thing i've heard in my entire life
@@gauravkumarhapurogmailcom355 I "enjoyed" this important, dark film. The writing and acting was superb. I tend to like films about dystopian societies , where we can identify with some of the actions.
@@shehinsha446 They are created to donate, and have been raised since infants to do so. They have no other options, because the society won’t let them. As said in the movie: “If you ask people to return to darkness, the days of lung cancer and breast cancer and motor neurone disease... they simply say no.”
This movie hurts so bad....the lady at the end of the film sums it up in a few sentences "you poor creatures." Damn this movie.........so heartbreaking
I have just finished reading the book… during the last chapter I found myself beginning to feel an intense heart-ache and the power of the story manifesting. I have never been so moved by a book and I still have tears in my eyes writing this. What an author.
Sure, it's a heartbreaking story. But it reveals the painful reality of time and reminds us to live our lives to the fullest, to embrace the love we see in the people around us, and to understand the world we live in and the oppressive system of time. That's just what I got out of it.
Even with how many fictional stuff there are in the film, how it deals with the passage of time is the most real thing I've seen in a movie. This is one of my favorites :')
What if we could defeat time? What if biomedical gerontology defeats aging? It looks like they might succeed. A lot has changed since you wrote this post. As you are no doubt aware.
I love the scenes where Carey Mulligan is watching her friends, observing everything around her. I can feel her emotions bottling up, hidden just beneath the surface, so heartbreakingly restrained. Her relationship with Ruth is fascinating. She was the perfect Kathy H, radiating some kind of quiet strength and depth. I feel like she should've gotten an oscar or something.
I love that about movies: a subtle performance is readable on camera and preserved on film. And there are some scarily good actors out there. The three leads are huge talents; I thought they were at their best here.
I watched this around 5 years back and I never recovered. I come back here every now and then to see how many else fell in to this emotional abyss. This broke my heart in to a million pieces. Everytime I hear someone talking about this movie or book, there is a chillness spreading through my veins and I feel my heart aching.
I watched it years ago and couldn't ratch it again, there's enough heart ache in the world to suffer that much again. I came back here to see the trailer because I just read an article that they're about to grow humans for organ harvesting and immediately thought of this movie!! The insanity of these globalists has no boundaries 🤦
It's the calmness on the surface throughout the movie that disturbs me the most. It could break out at any moment, but it doesn't, aside from Tommy's rage episodes. Below the thin surface is the emotional abyss you mentioned. Even Kathy's tears in the end were silent and calm.
I saw an interview with Kasuo Ishiguro who was born in post atomic bomb Nagasaki Japan. He conceived the idea for this book by musing what life would be like today if DNA and cloning were the major scientific breakthroughs in the 1940's rather than nuclear energy. We quickly accepted the fact that entire cities could be energized or destroyed by nuclear energy so would we accept the concept of farming clones for spare parts. It is a fascinating topic for discussion and I enjoyed that very much....... We humans have a tremendous capacity for doing terrible things to each other. The key is to label the victims as sub-human as we did in the U.S. with black slaves, as the Nazis did with jews, homosexuals, slavs and so many others and basically what we do in any war with people who want to harm us. You could see in this film that non clones had a hard time looking these children in the eyes. Madame was freaked out by the clones too. ........... Oh by the way, don't expect organized religion to step in to help. The Vatican and Christians of Europe watched the jews get shipped off to death camps and slave owners could point to the good book and find passages that supported slavery too. ....... This was an important book and a great film for people who have the intelligence to fill in the untold part of the story for themselves.
The Vatican and religions to help? You coward help yourself after all the government agreed with a the people to separate religion and politics. So who is the true enemy here?
@@pizzaparker5436 the Jews of Europe did try to fight back, but they never stood a chance. The rest of the world stood by and watched until it was already too late, and while most of the blame for that has to rest on the nation-states that had the power to stop the Nazis but waited until the last possible moment, organisations like the Vatican and many Protestant churches in Germany also let down their Jewish brothers and sisters. It's hard to accept, but it's true. oh, and by the way, I'm not saying there weren't individual gentiles, both in Churches and in other roles, who fought back or tried to save lives by whatever means they could. They existed, and their names will be remembered forever as the Righteous Among the Nations. But they were a minority.
+Mays Tarek basically children who are unwanted and unloved are sent to this school where they live their lives and learn the notions of how to live in society as that as well as education because normal society is what they're secluded from. they are swayed never to leave tho the thought never crosses their minds but why it should is because all they are is cattle in a farm. when they hit a certain age, they have to dontate their organs which the cannot decline. their purpose in life is to be taken apart for other people's perseverance
+joostkid hmm not really, they are not "children who are unwanted and unloved" they are all clones made just so they can donate organs, you can search it on the wiki for the movie or the book, everything is explained, they don't have parents, just creators who cloned them :)
Yo Anna ohh okay my bad, i watched this when i was very much younger. harder for me to understand and i haven't seen it since then and lol dw take your word for it. and thankyou for the correction!
WHAT IF I told you that this movie is about us, people? We people grow up to serve the world, without having a choice to not do so, just like slaves. Then we eventually loose our own bodies as it grow in age. Why everyone is running if there is abundance already? Who is making this happen?? The message of this movie is far real than u might think! Everything is momentary..
It was a very beautiful movie, the lack of emotion of Kathy's narrating made it even more depressing. It's like they never even tried to make it sad and it's sad anyway.
Jesse Justice 100% my thoughts. Especially in the book Kathy is apathic...for example she doesn't "make love", she "has sex" with Tommy...and it seems like she wants to change things but if she fails she doesn't care that much...I loved/hated her because of this and I feel the same about the book/movie....it's tragic, sad, beautiful but with zero emotion and actually this contrast makes it unique and impossible to forget
I just read that book and those were my thoughts, I keep waiting for Kath to show something more, Even in the beggining, but to me it always seems like Kath feels nothing but pitty of Tommy, like she never allows herself yo feel more than what was expected of her, and all those time she should defend herself she did nothing more then walk away, it wasn't Ruth the one that keep them apart, it was always Kath 🥺😢😢
I know your comment is liek 6 years old, yet I wanted to add that Kathy's way of retelling her story is part of the pain you feel. She never really tried to find a way to flee, to live anywhere else, to not make a donation- she just endures. All the characters only endure, you as the reader cannot comprehend the weight on their shoulders and how okay they are with it. I think that's why it hurts so much just thinking about them- they never even dreamt of living a different life.
javell perez I know you're a kid, but listen. Comparing Never Let Me Go, a haunting existential masterpiece to TFIOS, a pandering teen sit-com in printed form is a joke. We're not putting something down, even if that thing is so far down it's beside dinosaur bones, it's just a comical comparison.
TheMythofSissyFuss I'd like to think that the people who took their time and effort into what they do shouldn't be put down. I loved this movie and it is one of my favourites and nothing can compare but I also loved TFIOS and it was amazing too. might not have been as good as Never Let Me Go but it was good. I'm just saying that everyone has their own opinion and people should state it without being beat on.
TFIOS is not a joke it was a decent movie. When a movie is called a joke, I think of something like the remake Annie film or the unnecessary Human Centipede sequels. So stating that everyone has their own opinion with everyone knows that FIOS is a joke, doesn't make sense. That's all...
This movie is so damn devastating like man......It literally takes you on an wild emotional roller coaster, like seriously one minute it makes you feel happy and then the next it rips your heart out and stomps on it, and then when you think the heart ache is done, it rips your heart out again and stomps on it some more....Its honestly a really well made movie though.
Theres just something about this movie that ends up making you feel depressed, and anxious and confused and scared... And the movie wasnt even that great.. Theres just something about it D: i feel so weird, man
I think it hits too close to home. Death is a topic somewhat difficult to grasp but this film reminds us, in a frighteningly personal way, that none of us are going to be here forever. The clock is ticking on us all.
Well it is a depressing movie. All of these kids are unsure of what they even lived for, barely had a decent life. Being a bioengineered donor and forced give up your life to safe other people is a sad way to live. THey're not even treated as human beings who're deserving of respect. So seeing your 2 closest friends die like that and knowing you're next...it sucks. :'(
Natalie Herondale Might have shot you full of some intensely negative subliminal messages. After checking out the trailer and reading your comment, I don't think I want to see the damn thing. I mean, kids who are slaves unless they are in love? Somebody wake me up.
Just seen this film for the first time. Cried buckets at the end as it was so unbearably sad. The film was beautifully acted, understated in the way only the English can manage. Of course the outside world didn't want to know these children had souls because then they couldn't have used them to donate their organs. But these clones were as human as you or I, they could love and be loved and that is the tragedy of the film.
It's funny that you say it's a particularly English thing, because the writer of the book is called Kazuo Ishiguro, born in Japan though raised in the UK.
totally agree with U! I saw this movie using boxxy software and i wanna recommend it for U... just try it it is for free and available for TV pc and android
@bro hamy thought exactly! I saw this movie when it came out in independant theaters only, years ago I don't remember them being clones and I don't wanna watch it again to get my answer. 😖
When I first watched this movie, the only thing I could feel was sadness. The film got really dark as the plot proceeded. Touching and brilliantly bittersweet. I think It has done the book justice, even more personally speaking. Thanks to this film I discovered Kazuo Ishiguro, an amazing author. His "Nocturne" is one of my most favorite books and I've been waiting for other works of him to be published in my country.
Made 10yrs ago, and I don't recall it ever having been shown on terrestrial tv here in the UK... Maybe that's because the actual subject matter in this movie is too 'rated and appreciated' by those who select what the great unwashed are allowed to see? A golden rule of thumb, for the ever inquisitive... Is to hunt down those movies that were never broadcast in the first place, or have curiously disappeared from our screens over the last few decades. You will be shocked!
it's the most realistic and disturbing alternative history scenario I've ever seen on film. I remember watching it many years ago, and the chilling emotional effect on me lasted six days. i had to watch other very light television to try to lift the gloom. this film is not good for ones mood, and i strongly urge that anyone with even slight depression should not watch it. for anyone who is emotionally secure and happy, it is a masterfully understated, hyper realistic and obeys the golden rule of tv and film 'show dont tell'. theres no lengthy exposition, even by carey mulligan's narration. this keeps the mystery going for a long time. we are immediately immersed in this alternative england. it is also shocking because these horrors are happening to posh white young people, who normally experience untroubled privileged lives, if it was poor drug addicts being used, we would be far less shocked by the film, and far less moved. it's alternative history i.e. if nuclear weapon research had been replaced by cloning and other genetics meddling, this is what England would be like. from what i've seen above the writer of the novel intended it as an alternative history. and theres no evidence that it is set in the future. it seems to be roughly present day, give or take ten years. although there is a curious absence of technology-so that also may be a feature of this alternative history version of england. if not for the choice of the writer to do an alternative history originating in changes to the mid twentieth century, this would be a sci-fi, and it would be set fifty years in the future or so. you dont have to have space, phasers, time travel and A.I for it to be sci-fi. there are many understated sci-fi shorts that are being made that are like this film in tone, theme and subject, with greater emphasis on character than plot. this is also a world building film-it's about immersing us in the reality of this world. it stays in a very small local area. we have no idea about the rest of the country. it just stays in helsham, with a small group of friends. the threat to them seems so civilised-making it even more chilling.
@@shaunhumphreys6714 Although it's a parallel world, the novel is set in the 1990s - that's stated at the beginning just before the opening chapter, and there are references to 90s era things, such as Walkmans. Apart from the fact that there are clones donating their organs around, it appears to be much the same as the real 1990s.
Still the greatest book and movie ever made. The deepness is uncanny, shallow people won't understand what the author wants to reveal. You won't understand this movie at first but if you watch this alone and deeply feel and understand the feelings of the character, you would understand what Kazuo Ishiguro wants to reveal. This movie is not for mainstream and shallow people. This movie is too great and too deep to be understood by those people.
Dream Warrior: you're obviously one who lives in a black and white world. Sadly, for you however, the world is full of color filling the spectrum between your "black" and "white". You are why there are artists, poets, and their audiences, because their creativity, deepness, authenticity, emotion, complexity, and love is what keeps the anger and hatred the likes of you contaminate the earth with on a daily basis. You are what we fight against. Not those who get abortions or those who strive to make medical advances to save countless lives, we fight do defeat you and your hatred. You are the problem and never forget it you insignificant piece of trash.
@@dreamwarrior3967 my god your comment just filled me with disgust. you arent understanding science one bit are you? the people in this movie had feelings. dreams. pain. a clump of cells has none of those. none. and abortions done after 12 weeks are rare. and done when there are no other real options. how can YOU be so arrogant?
+bananasare4ever Serious ! I do not knew that it was that bluesy... it's a movie for blue eyed souls so... Previous Romanek movie (One Hour Photo) was disturbing and equally so sad (r.i.p Robin Williams)
it's amazing to me that this film is so often overlooked ... between the 3 leads there are 6 Oscar nominations - 2 each for Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley, plus 2 nominations for Sally Hawkins and one nomination each for Charlotte Rampling and Andrew Riseborough ... such a pool of talent and such a great film
I've just finish watching this movie and eyes are like swollen right now and i have class in the morning. Very few movies can make me cry like this one did. Jeez. It's so sad yet it's so beautiful. The movie is so well made and thoughtful that it forces you to realize and appreciate everything you have in life. Also, the actors did a great job.
The scary and SAD part of this movie is that it might actually happen. I hated when the school lady as they walked away heart broken said of them, POOR CREATURES. Just like artificially made organs, people carrying and preparing organs to be donated them for the sick might face this fate.
It's about friendships, love, bonds and most importantly time, which is running out, not only in their lives, but in each of our lives; we're all mortals, all slaves of the running time, left with some time, some bonds to cherish and some memories to grieve/hold on. We're all "poor creatures". By distancing us from their lives, Ishiguro was inviting us to contemplate more on our own lives. As we tend to understand better when we distance ourselves from our own reality.
After reading the book I felt satisfied and empty. Not really depressed or anything how others felt while watching this film. But then again I got really immersed into the book and the characters. The ending they got was tragic yes, but it was right for the characters in my opinion. Beautifully done story. It touches you for shure if you read the book or watch the film, its something you will never forget.
Even tho the movie is nicely done, they've missed a few crucial things, so the book is (isn't it always?) a lot better. Interesting fact, "Never let me go" is Carey's fav book and she was scared that they will make a movie before she's old enough to play Kathy. When she heard that the movie is on, she very actively campaigned for the role and, fortunately, got it, cause I can't think of a better choice.
It's been almost exactly 9 years since i first saw this movie and man i still think about it every now and again and it still breaks my heart every single time. Not to mention the soundtrack...that alone can make me cry for hours 😭😭😭 oh and tommy's scream at the end there.....ugh😭😩😭😭
The book is mysterious but I feel like the only reason I understood the movie was because I’d read the book, it reveals more I think and I personally understood the characters more in the book. A lot is quite vague in the movie but it was still cool to see this whole mind-bending scenario come to life !
reading all this comments about this movie being all sad and will make u cry and everything just made me wanting to go watch it myself to see what u all people on about, bruh fcking worst idea ever!! this movie is the definition of SADNESS and DEPRESSION. to answer ur question.... YES i fcking cried! i honestly cried alot harder then i should have and ive fcking seen TITANICS and MARLEY AND ME.
Probably one of the best films I've ever watched. Stuff all the hollywood crap. Beautifully made and sad as anything. Hard to want to watch again it's that deep. Congrats to all those who made it. Perfect acting, lighting, casting etc etc.
just watched it again the other night it was on tv. usually most tv shows are crap. for them to put this on was awesome. nothing flash just realistic and awesome. we are all used for anothers purpose and what people live and do for just so others can benefit is quite shocking.
SPOILERS! I've never hated and loved a movie more. Hated because of their society and how much I relate with Ruth. Ruth a truly misunderstood character. (I've never done what she has but I can relate to the lonely in her.) All in all it's a brilliant film.
yes I totally agree, what she did might be a selfish act but it doesn't mean she was not right about fearing to end up alone and not loved... except that she chose the wrong person to be with betraying her bestfriend and taking away the only chance the couple had for a true love... i adored every single scene of the movie
I'm crying right now, I watched this movie forever ago but couldn't for the life of me remember the name of it, I was starting to think I just imagined it. But now I've found it and am so happy!!
This movie. The emotion. Rawness. Acting. When he screams. The love. The complete and utter heart-breaking news. When he screams. The hope that doesn't last. The unique story line. When he screams. The ending. Oh my god, the ending, when she's watching him... I don't quite think I've healed from it yet, even years on.
Brilliant book, brilliant movie! The story is just heartbreaking, and the movie's very well done in my opinion. That scene when Tommy gets out of the car and starts screaming is unbelievably sad. Garfield delivered an outstanding performance.
I went through this entire film with my emotions weighing me down like a very heavy blanket. But I didn't cry until the scene where Andrew screamed. It was so weird, like he didn't need words at all. That scream explained everything.
Writing this in 2023. I have finished my bachelor's in medicine, then switched to a master's in biology. Maybe it is because of this educational background, but every now and then, this movie pops up in my head and it feels almost like a slap in the face. It makes me think about modern medicine and how far we would go to better our lives, even now, when health in western countries never has been better. We are doing this to animals already. Human live is spilled in wars everyday. Are we truely that different, or that much off of stories like this? I think not. Powerful movie. It will stick to me, always.
This movie is so fantastic and depressing at the same time. I bought Kazuo Ishiguro's novel after watching this. Can't believe the novel didn't win the Booker Prize.
i've just finished the book and this trailer hurts like hell. i just found about this film today and seeing the characters come into life made me feel the emotions more. tommy screaming in frustration just hits different. and seeing madame and miss emily brings me back to those hailsham moments. i want to watch this movie, but i'm afraid my heart will not take it
it's been eight years since i saw this movie and its definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen; I've watched this movie several times and it's so mesmerizing beautiful and so well done, this movie reminds you of what's the point of life: just go people and live your life like you're about to die the day after, go and tell your loved ones that you love them; make sure you are leaving your live the way you want, so one day you'll feel like you've got enough time here and specially that you didn't waste your opportunity to live
Such a powerful movie that has stuck with me (or haunted?) since its release. I don't think I can ever bring myself to watch it again however, despite being one of my all time favourites. It's hard to explain why.
One of the BEST films I ever seen in my life.....I watched it 11 times or more, truly beautiful, but kinda depressing... Sally Hawkins I love you, you're in every film I like! First Submarine, then An Education, now this! WoW (Andrew and Carey where so cute in this film)
Why do we slaughter cows knowing they suffer, knowing it's a leader of greenhouse gas emissions and effecting climate change? Because that's the world we live in. Most of us don't even think to question it. Similar scenario here.
I have the same problem with this story. I haven't seen the film, but in the book they appear to have complete freedom to go anywhere and do anything. I can't think of a situation where people would comply with this. It's not like this is compliance under threat of violence, although from this trailer it does look like they characters are under 24/7 surveillance and can be tracked. That is not the case in the book.
Where should they go? What are they supposed to do? They can't just go and get work somewhere, they have no passport or papers or anything. And they can't expect any help. They aren't being forced to do this, because they have no other option. Thats why they let them be. Eventually they will succumb to their fate. And even if one or so runs away they have more than enough to take their place. Running does not save them. They have been sheltered all their childhood, so why leave? They don't really get what life has in store for them, but that at the same time, it is the only possible outcome. The only "real" thing is the whole ordeal about the deferrals. That is the only thing they consider.
This is why the story is such a depressing one. It is not that the characters are hopeless or anything, but the fact that they just accept their role, hurts so much. The characters aren't very angry or upset about their fate, they just... accept it. And we, as the readers, feel we have to be sad for them. Angry for them.
@Patriot Jefferson look even though i agree with most of what u just wrote i do not agree with your comparison to a fetus. a fetus is a clump of cells. no feeling. no pain. the characters in the movie on the otherhand suffer actively, comprehend whats going to happen to them. a fetus is only one small step away from being a naturally dying egg or sperm cell. so i find your comparison quite undignified. "socialists" my god. do you know what a socialist is?
I've just watched this. It's absolutely heartbreaking that their entire lives (though short lived) were nothing but a paradox. It's terrifying how they were given expensive education and taught to be creative and to value the importance of life only to accept the doom of their fate and become mere tools. Although it's disturbingly sad, it's now my favourite movie. I never realised and more importantly cherished the value of time until now.
I don't know why but I can't stop thinking about this movie...its been two days since I first watched this movie....and still I can't let it go off my mind...my eyes everytime gets wet whenever I think about this movie....!!!! Wwowwww♥️
I just watched this movie for a class today. I had to try hard not to cry... I was really hoping for a happy ending and a meaning for all of it but there just wasn't. You never find out how it all came to be or get more details. It's a good movie but just really sad :(
this movie is aan absolute masterpiece and if anyone is wondering about seeing i'd say go ahead immediatly! it makes you appreciate the fact that you can chose to be however you want to, a very meaningful story original and different from anyotther movie! I have to admit that I've cried like a baby during the whole movie...
because watching a movie isn't just about being surprised by the ending, it's about exploring the emotions that someone is going through or learning more about the story of someone and seeing the product of someone's film making skills which then make a wonderful film which is thought provoking and beautiful to watch :)
Jesus, just watched this movie. it's one of the best I've ever seen. The idea, sense, acting - everything is outstanding. Love it but I'm feeling a great sadness right now. this one hits so hard
I think in this case it does not matter much. Maybe it makes it even sadder. You know what it is about, and the characters naivitee makes it worse for you. And it doesn't give away everything.
Just done watching this film with mix emotions and teary eyes. Well done! It affects me. I really cant suppressed my hatred to those people behind that shit school for raising kids only to be organ donors. They were like demons in disguise! Just by recalling how they died during their 3rd donation, oh my...that's totally horrible! And about those kids who already grown up and unravel the truth, are they ignorant that much not to asked for help...they were so unlucky to live in the most worst human trafficking era.
Charlotte Horlock I disagree, the movie is good but the book is way more touching, it shows more feelings, I still remember crying when I was reading the end...well, that's my point of view
A lovely metaphor of what this life is about, which is love and friendship!! Yes, the clock is ticking but don´t we have to focus on what makes us happy then? We have come to love and be loved...
This movie is one of the best I've ever watched. It's made so nice and full of breathtaking moments. It reminded me how are we poor indeed and how our life can hurt so much sometimes. The author of the book has no fear to look into reality. But the fact is that is not all the reality. We are not as hopeless as it was summed up by the main actress. Jesus has come to redeem our souls from this darkness. Let Him heal your broken heart.
One of the most heartbreaking films I've seen. Towards the end, she reminds us that everyone dies. It helped with my profound sadness for the characters. Yes, some will live longer at the cost of others, but no one escapes death. You could feel the desperation for just a few more extra years with a loved one. I found myself wanting them to commit suicide and die in each others arms. To die on their own terms. But, that wasn't what they were programmed to do.
Splendid and sad at the same time. I love how they never tried to simply escape and it was also hardly mentioned in the movie. That's the beauty of it.
I hate it when people say, the book was much better. But in this case, the experience of reading the book was miles better than watching the movie. The movie was a complete letdown. It did have a moving soundtrack, though. I don't think they got the movie right. Or maybe the book is really hard to make into an entertaining movie. I don't know. I just hate myself right now.
This has nothing to do with the movie but I love that if this were released now, all three of them would have the title of academy award nominees. Cuz at the time Andrew was the only one that hadn't been nominated but now he has!!
Beautiful film, brilliantly acted and quite sad at the end. But, what I find sadder, is that so many people who watch it do not really get it. It is such a beautifully multi-layered film.
oh my jesus. i went through the comment section yesterday and decided i'm gonna watch this movie today. which i did. and it fucking broke my soul. i'm still crying and it's been an hour already.
I just finished the book. That trailer literally revealed 99% of the story. This is why I hate modern day trailers
Onur Tekin true..i just finished my reading too
It does give away a lot, but you don't understand any of it until you've seen the video.
Onur Tekin I don't understand the story
It reveals all to you because you read the book, I am in chapter 3 and I know a little about the story, the trailer didn’t ruin anything for me as I had feared.
yes, as opposed to film trailers in the days of yore
"We didn't have the gallery in order to look into your souls. We had the gallery to see if you had souls at all." probably the most devastating thing i've heard in my entire life
True
@@gauravkumarhapurogmailcom355 I "enjoyed" this important, dark film. The writing and acting was superb. I tend to like films about dystopian societies , where we can identify with some of the actions.
Why cant they stop donating and live their life?

This movie hurts so bad....the lady at the end of the film sums it up in a few sentences "you poor creatures."
Damn this movie.........so heartbreaking
And that's why I didn't like it. Wathced it two days ago and still thinkin' about it. Does it still happening in the world somewhere?..
the ending was so sad
@Patriot Jefferson exactly
I was expecting there is a clone resistance, it seems no much control but "they" in the novel.
pretty sure its a little different tbh
now and days both conservatives and liberals are destroying the country
I have just finished reading the book… during the last chapter I found myself beginning to feel an intense heart-ache and the power of the story manifesting. I have never been so moved by a book and I still have tears in my eyes writing this. What an author.
I found it rubbish. Sentimental version of The Island.
@@ricarleitethat’s unfortunate..
real. i just finished this 10 minutes ago. pain. i will let it marinate further, more pain all the same.
I just finished the book, it's 1:30 am and I am not able to fall asleep now.
i think its my favourite book ever!
the scene where Andrew Garfield is screaming always breaks my heart, talented actor deserves to go far in his career
you were so right
you predicted the future
bestie predicted the future
This aged well
this coment age so well
Sure, it's a heartbreaking story. But it reveals the painful reality of time and reminds us to live our lives to the fullest, to embrace the love we see in the people around us, and to understand the world we live in and the oppressive system of time.
That's just what I got out of it.

I think thats why its most heartbreaking to some... because they already feel alone which makes the message that much stronger.
But for what? Are you really happy at all?
Even with how many fictional stuff there are in the film, how it deals with the passage of time is the most real thing I've seen in a movie. This is one of my favorites :')
What if we could defeat time? What if biomedical gerontology defeats aging? It looks like they might succeed. A lot has changed since you wrote this post. As you are no doubt aware.
I wanted to smack ruth throughout the whole book lol
Kat Swe same lol
Omg same i was cussing her out
Kat Swe I'm glad I wasn't the only one haha
Me too!!!!
honestly me too when i read the book, she was a great character even though i didnt like her personality
I love the scenes where Carey Mulligan is watching her friends, observing everything around her. I can feel her emotions bottling up, hidden just beneath the surface, so heartbreakingly restrained. Her relationship with Ruth is fascinating. She was the perfect Kathy H, radiating some kind of quiet strength and depth. I feel like she should've gotten an oscar or something.
Mulligan got an award for her role in this. And rightly so.
Thanks for mentioning her name...👍👍
I love that about movies: a subtle performance is readable on camera and preserved on film. And there are some scarily good actors out there. The three leads are huge talents; I thought they were at their best here.
Which scene was that??
I watched this around 5 years back and I never recovered. I come back here every now and then to see how many else fell in to this emotional abyss. This broke my heart in to a million pieces. Everytime I hear someone talking about this movie or book, there is a chillness spreading through my veins and I feel my heart aching.
I just watched it last week. I’m a newbie. Can’t get it off my mind it was so good. Sad and full of dismay. But the acting was excellent.
I totally agree. I share your thoughts and feelings.
Same!! It struct me when I read it in school. Years later I always come back to it and I am instantly met with sadness.
I watched it years ago and couldn't ratch it again, there's enough heart ache in the world to suffer that much again.
I came back here to see the trailer because I just read an article that they're about to grow humans for organ harvesting and immediately thought of this movie!! The insanity of these globalists has no boundaries 🤦
It's the calmness on the surface throughout the movie that disturbs me the most. It could break out at any moment, but it doesn't, aside from Tommy's rage episodes. Below the thin surface is the emotional abyss you mentioned. Even Kathy's tears in the end were silent and calm.
I saw an interview with Kasuo Ishiguro who was born in post atomic bomb Nagasaki Japan. He conceived the idea for this book by musing what life would be like today if DNA and cloning were the major scientific breakthroughs in the 1940's rather than nuclear energy. We quickly accepted the fact that entire cities could be energized or destroyed by nuclear energy so would we accept the concept of farming clones for spare parts. It is a fascinating topic for discussion and I enjoyed that very much....... We humans have a tremendous capacity for doing terrible things to each other. The key is to label the victims as sub-human as we did in the U.S. with black slaves, as the Nazis did with jews, homosexuals, slavs and so many others and basically what we do in any war with people who want to harm us. You could see in this film that non clones had a hard time looking these children in the eyes. Madame was freaked out by the clones too. ........... Oh by the way, don't expect organized religion to step in to help. The Vatican and Christians of Europe watched the jews get shipped off to death camps and slave owners could point to the good book and find passages that supported slavery too. ....... This was an important book and a great film for people who have the intelligence to fill in the untold part of the story for themselves.
Very interesting! Thanks for sharing.
Hey! I would love to watch it, sounds really interesting! Do u still have a link?
The Vatican and religions to help? You coward help yourself after all the government agreed with a the people to separate religion and politics. So who is the true enemy here?
@@pizzaparker5436 the Jews of Europe did try to fight back, but they never stood a chance. The rest of the world stood by and watched until it was already too late, and while most of the blame for that has to rest on the nation-states that had the power to stop the Nazis but waited until the last possible moment, organisations like the Vatican and many Protestant churches in Germany also let down their Jewish brothers and sisters. It's hard to accept, but it's true.
oh, and by the way, I'm not saying there weren't individual gentiles, both in Churches and in other roles, who fought back or tried to save lives by whatever means they could. They existed, and their names will be remembered forever as the Righteous Among the Nations. But they were a minority.

I've just watched this movie this morning and I'm still recovering. Its so depressing.
People shouldn't watch this movie if they have broken hearts.
+Mays Tarek basically children who are unwanted and unloved are sent to this school where they live their lives and learn the notions of how to live in society as that as well as education because normal society is what they're secluded from. they are swayed never to leave tho the thought never crosses their minds but why it should is because all they are is cattle in a farm. when they hit a certain age, they have to dontate their organs which the cannot decline. their purpose in life is to be taken apart for other people's perseverance
+joostkid hmm not really, they are not "children who are unwanted and unloved" they are all clones made just so they can donate organs, you can search it on the wiki for the movie or the book, everything is explained, they don't have parents, just creators who cloned them :)
Yo Anna ohh okay my bad, i watched this when i was very much younger. harder for me to understand and i haven't seen it since then and lol dw take your word for it. and thankyou for the correction!
+Mahmood Ahmad yes was crying so much
my heart's broken but still gonna watch it ):
I have not heard in my life a scream of pain as he scream .
i have
my scream
WHAT IF I told you that this movie is about us, people? We people grow up to serve the world, without having a choice to not do so, just like slaves. Then we eventually loose our own bodies as it grow in age. Why everyone is running if there is abundance already? Who is making this happen?? The message of this movie is far real than u might think! Everything is momentary..
@@aditya_it_is lol. 7 years ago the movie was shit. no ned gtgubtg
I did. It was me. My husband abused me in any way. T.
It was a very beautiful movie, the lack of emotion of Kathy's narrating made it even more depressing. It's like they never even tried to make it sad and it's sad anyway.
Jesse Justice 100% my thoughts. Especially in the book Kathy is apathic...for example she doesn't "make love", she "has sex" with Tommy...and it seems like she wants to change things but if she fails she doesn't care that much...I loved/hated her because of this and I feel the same about the book/movie....it's tragic, sad, beautiful but with zero emotion and actually this contrast makes it unique and impossible to forget
it was so emotional for me... i'm not sure that i'll re-watch it using boxxy software but i saw it with english subtitle and it was great
right? they're devoid of like, everything...
I just read that book and those were my thoughts, I keep waiting for Kath to show something more, Even in the beggining, but to me it always seems like Kath feels nothing but pitty of Tommy, like she never allows herself yo feel more than what was expected of her, and all those time she should defend herself she did nothing more then walk away, it wasn't Ruth the one that keep them apart, it was always Kath 🥺😢😢
I know your comment is liek 6 years old, yet I wanted to add that Kathy's way of retelling her story is part of the pain you feel. She never really tried to find a way to flee, to live anywhere else, to not make a donation- she just endures. All the characters only endure, you as the reader cannot comprehend the weight on their shoulders and how okay they are with it. I think that's why it hurts so much just thinking about them- they never even dreamt of living a different life.
Would make The Fault in our Stars look like a joke.
Apple Jelly The fault in our stars IS a joke...
Apple Jelly why do you have to criticize or put down something to make something looks better? I hate that!
javell perez I know you're a kid, but listen. Comparing Never Let Me Go, a haunting existential masterpiece to TFIOS, a pandering teen sit-com in printed form is a joke.
We're not putting something down, even if that thing is so far down it's beside dinosaur bones, it's just a comical comparison.
TheMythofSissyFuss I'd like to think that the people who took their time and effort into what they do shouldn't be put down. I loved this movie and it is one of my favourites and nothing can compare but I also loved TFIOS and it was amazing too. might not have been as good as Never Let Me Go but it was good. I'm just saying that everyone has their own opinion and people should state it without being beat on.
TFIOS is not a joke it was a decent movie. When a movie is called a joke, I think of something like the remake Annie film or the unnecessary Human Centipede sequels. So stating that everyone has their own opinion with everyone knows that FIOS is a joke, doesn't make sense. That's all...
I wish more people read the book. It would really help to understand the movie more.
francesca. Exactly thats so freaking trur
that's what i did after watching it. it kinda hurt more
This movie is so damn devastating like man......It literally takes you on an wild emotional roller coaster, like seriously one minute it makes you feel happy and then the next it rips your heart out and stomps on it, and then when you think the heart ache is done, it rips your heart out again and stomps on it some more....Its honestly a really well made movie though.
Ssh bby .. is ok
I'm with you. One of the saddest movies I've seen but still you marvel at how good it is!
Rips your heart out, just like what happened to Ruth and Tommy
Joelle V same here... 🤷🏻♂️
This sounds like a shroom trip
anyone else on a random trailer spree ? :)
okay didnt ask for your opinion to be rude
øystein lunde He wasn't being rude and he didn't give you an opinion. He gave you an answer to your question
2 people with no moral rights
1 person with no manners.
2 boys sharing love
Theres just something about this movie that ends up making you feel depressed, and anxious and confused and scared... And the movie wasnt even that great.. Theres just something about it D: i feel so weird, man
I think it hits too close to home. Death is a topic somewhat difficult to grasp but this film reminds us, in a frighteningly personal way, that none of us are going to be here forever. The clock is ticking on us all.
Whitney Schlueter Well said!!
Well it is a depressing movie. All of these kids are unsure of what they even lived for, barely had a decent life. Being a bioengineered donor and forced give up your life to safe other people is a sad way to live. THey're not even treated as human beings who're deserving of respect. So seeing your 2 closest friends die like that and knowing you're next...it sucks. :'(
Natalie Herondale Might have shot you full of some intensely negative subliminal messages. After checking out the trailer and reading your comment, I don't think I want to see the damn thing. I mean, kids who are slaves unless they are in love? Somebody wake me up.
WindiGreens Naaaaaahhhhhh your assessment isn't even close! It's an extremely sad movie but I'd recommend you watch it anyway ;)
Before watching this i thought i was a strong man who can control his tears.
You can be strong anyway :) In fact it makes you stronger cause you aren't scared of feelings.
your not.

Just seen this film for the first time. Cried buckets at the end as it was so unbearably sad. The film was beautifully acted, understated in the way only the English can manage. Of course the outside world didn't want to know these children had souls because then they couldn't have used them to donate their organs. But these clones were as human as you or I, they could love and be loved and that is the tragedy of the film.
It's funny that you say it's a particularly English thing, because the writer of the book is called Kazuo Ishiguro, born in Japan though raised in the UK.
totally agree with U! I saw this movie using boxxy software and i wanna recommend it for U... just try it it is for free and available for TV pc and android
@bro hamy thought exactly! I saw this movie when it came out in independant theaters only, years ago I don't remember them being clones and I don't wanna watch it again to get my answer. 😖
@bro ha yes clones. They were kept healthy to provide organ donation to the real humans. They were not allowed to have a life😟

When I first watched this movie, the only thing I could feel was sadness. The film got really dark as the plot proceeded. Touching and brilliantly bittersweet. I think It has done the book justice, even more personally speaking. Thanks to this film I discovered Kazuo Ishiguro, an amazing author. His "Nocturne" is one of my most favorite books and I've been waiting for other works of him to be published in my country.
This movie is unbelievably underrated and under appreciated, even in 2020
Made 10yrs ago, and I don't recall it ever having been shown on terrestrial tv here in the UK... Maybe that's because the actual subject matter in this movie is too 'rated and appreciated' by those who select what the great unwashed are allowed to see? A golden rule of thumb, for the ever inquisitive... Is to hunt down those movies that were never broadcast in the first place, or have curiously disappeared from our screens over the last few decades. You will be shocked!
it's the most realistic and disturbing alternative history scenario I've ever seen on film. I remember watching it many years ago, and the chilling emotional effect on me lasted six days. i had to watch other very light television to try to lift the gloom. this film is not good for ones mood, and i strongly urge that anyone with even slight depression should not watch it. for anyone who is emotionally secure and happy, it is a masterfully understated, hyper realistic and obeys the golden rule of tv and film 'show dont tell'. theres no lengthy exposition, even by carey mulligan's narration. this keeps the mystery going for a long time. we are immediately immersed in this alternative england. it is also shocking because these horrors are happening to posh white young people, who normally experience untroubled privileged lives, if it was poor drug addicts being used, we would be far less shocked by the film, and far less moved. it's alternative history i.e. if nuclear weapon research had been replaced by cloning and other genetics meddling, this is what England would be like. from what i've seen above the writer of the novel intended it as an alternative history. and theres no evidence that it is set in the future. it seems to be roughly present day, give or take ten years. although there is a curious absence of technology-so that also may be a feature of this alternative history version of england. if not for the choice of the writer to do an alternative history originating in changes to the mid twentieth century, this would be a sci-fi, and it would be set fifty years in the future or so. you dont have to have space, phasers, time travel and A.I for it to be sci-fi. there are many understated sci-fi shorts that are being made that are like this film in tone, theme and subject, with greater emphasis on character than plot. this is also a world building film-it's about immersing us in the reality of this world. it stays in a very small local area. we have no idea about the rest of the country. it just stays in helsham, with a small group of friends. the threat to them seems so civilised-making it even more chilling.
@@shaunhumphreys6714 Although it's a parallel world, the novel is set in the 1990s - that's stated at the beginning just before the opening chapter, and there are references to 90s era things, such as Walkmans. Apart from the fact that there are clones donating their organs around, it appears to be much the same as the real 1990s.
I'm kinda scared to watch this but I want to and it's not even horror movie fear, it's like personal fear.....
feel the same

Still the greatest book and movie ever made. The deepness is uncanny, shallow people won't understand what the author wants to reveal. You won't understand this movie at first but if you watch this alone and deeply feel and understand the feelings of the character, you would understand what Kazuo Ishiguro wants to reveal. This movie is not for mainstream and shallow people. This movie is too great and too deep to be understood by those people.
Dream Warrior: you're obviously one who lives in a black and white world. Sadly, for you however, the world is full of color filling the spectrum between your "black" and "white". You are why there are artists, poets, and their audiences, because their creativity, deepness, authenticity, emotion, complexity, and love is what keeps the anger and hatred the likes of you contaminate the earth with on a daily basis. You are what we fight against. Not those who get abortions or those who strive to make medical advances to save countless lives, we fight do defeat you and your hatred. You are the problem and never forget it you insignificant piece of trash.
@@dreamwarrior3967 my god your comment just filled me with disgust. you arent understanding science one bit are you? the people in this movie had feelings. dreams. pain. a clump of cells has none of those. none. and abortions done after 12 weeks are rare. and done when there are no other real options. how can YOU be so arrogant?
Hii....I have an exam from this book....can you help???
Jeez, up yourself much? It's presumptuous to label yourself as deep and others shallow
This movie broke me.
u should read the book :'):'):')
The Japanese drama broke me. Currently, I'm reading the book.
Wooowww there's a japanese drama? Thank you so much! Now I have to find it.
Flo lmao
I still believed in happy ends before this. I think this was the first actual movie I watched that didn't have anything even close to a happy end
I still can't get over this movie and I watched it 3 years ago
Still the ever beautiful after all these years. This movie is gorgeous in every respect.
this is the saddest fucking movie i've ever seen, i can't even go back to this trailer without tearing up a bit fuck this movie man
+bananasare4ever but is really good too
+bananasare4ever for crying
+bananasare4ever try atonement
Totally agree, I've never cried so much at a film, and yet I still love it.
+bananasare4ever Serious ! I do not knew that it was that bluesy... it's a movie for blue eyed souls so...
Previous Romanek movie (One Hour Photo) was disturbing and equally so sad (r.i.p Robin Williams)
it's amazing to me that this film is so often overlooked ... between the 3 leads there are 6 Oscar nominations - 2 each for Carey Mulligan, Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley, plus 2 nominations for Sally Hawkins and one nomination each for Charlotte Rampling and Andrew Riseborough ... such a pool of talent and such a great film
I've just finish watching this movie and eyes are like swollen right now and i have class in the morning. Very few movies can make me cry like this one did. Jeez. It's so sad yet it's so beautiful. The movie is so well made and thoughtful that it forces you to realize and appreciate everything you have in life. Also, the actors did a great job.
The scary and SAD part of this movie is that it might actually happen. I hated when the school lady as they walked away heart broken said of them, POOR CREATURES. Just like artificially made organs, people carrying and preparing organs to be donated them for the sick might face this fate.
i know right :'(
***** what? Why?
haha thanks. i probably will. science is my favorite subject :)
It's about friendships, love, bonds and most importantly time, which is running out, not only in their lives, but in each of our lives; we're all mortals, all slaves of the running time, left with some time, some bonds to cherish and some memories to grieve/hold on. We're all "poor creatures". By distancing us from their lives, Ishiguro was inviting us to contemplate more on our own lives. As we tend to understand better when we distance ourselves from our own reality.
After reading the book I felt satisfied and empty. Not really depressed or anything how others felt while watching this film.
But then again I got really immersed into the book and the characters. The ending they got was tragic yes, but it was right for the characters in my opinion.
Beautifully done story. It touches you for shure if you read the book or watch the film, its something you will never forget.
This film contains Keira Knightly, Andrew Garfield and CAREY MULLIGAN and looks like it will make me cry. I must watch it immediately.

Even tho the movie is nicely done, they've missed a few crucial things, so the book is (isn't it always?) a lot better.
Interesting fact, "Never let me go" is Carey's fav book and she was scared that they will make a movie before she's old enough to play Kathy. When she heard that the movie is on, she very actively campaigned for the role and, fortunately, got it, cause I can't think of a better choice.
It's been almost exactly 9 years since i first saw this movie and man i still think about it every now and again and it still breaks my heart every single time. Not to mention the soundtrack...that alone can make me cry for hours 😭😭😭
oh and tommy's scream at the end there.....ugh😭😩😭😭

reading all this comments about this movie being all sad and will make u cry and everything just made me wanting to go watch it myself to see what u all people on about, bruh fcking worst idea ever!! this movie is the definition of SADNESS and DEPRESSION. to answer ur question.... YES i fcking cried! i honestly cried alot harder then i should have and ive fcking seen TITANICS and MARLEY AND ME.
Probably one of the best films I've ever watched. Stuff all the hollywood crap. Beautifully made and sad as anything. Hard to want to watch again it's that deep. Congrats to all those who made it. Perfect acting, lighting, casting etc etc.
Agreed. Im not usually a fan of Keira Knightley but I thought all of the actors/ actresses including her were brilliant and didn't go over the top.
just watched it again the other night it was on tv. usually most tv shows are crap. for them to put this on was awesome. nothing flash just realistic and awesome. we are all used for anothers purpose and what people live and do for just so others can benefit is quite shocking.
SPOILERS!
I've never hated and loved a movie more. Hated because of their society and how much I relate with Ruth. Ruth a truly misunderstood character. (I've never done what she has but I can relate to the lonely in her.) All in all it's a brilliant film.
yes I totally agree, what she did might be a selfish act but it doesn't mean she was not right about fearing to end up alone and not loved... except that she chose the wrong person to be with betraying her bestfriend and taking away the only chance the couple had for a true love... i adored every single scene of the movie
metamorphose
I'm crying right now, I watched this movie forever ago but couldn't for the life of me remember the name of it, I was starting to think I just imagined it. But now I've found it and am so happy!!
Wait- A movie with Elizabeth Bennet, Sally Sparrow, AND Spiderman?!
And Kitty Bennet
And Bill Weasley
Emily Miller keira knightley is not, nor will she ever be, Elizabeth Bennett.
Fine. Elizabeth Swan
And Isabella Thorpe
I watched the trailer, then I was like hmmm lets give it a shot, and now I'm weeping
why did I even pick that movie to watch?
It hurts me the fact that this trailer shows everything about the movie. What a great movie it was. One of the best I ever watched.
This movie.
The emotion. Rawness. Acting. When he screams. The love. The complete and utter heart-breaking news. When he screams. The hope that doesn't last. The unique story line. When he screams. The ending. Oh my god, the ending, when she's watching him...
I don't quite think I've healed from it yet, even years on.
Brilliant book, brilliant movie! The story is just heartbreaking, and the movie's very well done in my opinion. That scene when Tommy gets out of the car and starts screaming is unbelievably sad. Garfield delivered an outstanding performance.
And continues to do so :) 9 whole years later. He's gotten so far
I went through this entire film with my emotions weighing me down like a very heavy blanket. But I didn't cry until the scene where Andrew screamed. It was so weird, like he didn't need words at all. That scream explained everything.
Hi Selena
I've never been so touched by a movie before. Sad and horrible, but still incredibly beautiful.
Great actors too!
Horribly sad not horribly executed right?
Writing this in 2023. I have finished my bachelor's in medicine, then switched to a master's in biology. Maybe it is because of this educational background, but every now and then, this movie pops up in my head and it feels almost like a slap in the face. It makes me think about modern medicine and how far we would go to better our lives, even now, when health in western countries never has been better. We are doing this to animals already. Human live is spilled in wars everyday. Are we truely that different, or that much off of stories like this? I think not.
Powerful movie. It will stick to me, always.
ALTHOUGH the trailer is more emotionally effective than the movie, the movie was still EXCELLENT and worth EVERY PENNY. . .
This movie is so fantastic and depressing at the same time. I bought Kazuo Ishiguro's novel after watching this. Can't believe the novel didn't win the Booker Prize.
he now has the nobel prize lol
A beautiful and heartbreaking film. Makes you really think about how short life really is, don't waste any time.
When Tommy lay down and Cathy remembered the smile on his face at Hailsham, I dried up my tears. I was lucky to come across this movie when I was 19.
One of the Greatest movies i have ever seen.
Me too!
The movie is sad, but it's a great watch. Its a movie that you have to think about to get the answers and understand it
Read the book
i've just finished the book and this trailer hurts like hell. i just found about this film today and seeing the characters come into life made me feel the emotions more. tommy screaming in frustration just hits different. and seeing madame and miss emily brings me back to those hailsham moments. i want to watch this movie, but i'm afraid my heart will not take it
it's been eight years since i saw this movie and its definitely one of the best movies I've ever seen; I've watched this movie several times and it's so mesmerizing beautiful and so well done, this movie reminds you of what's the point of life: just go people and live your life like you're about to die the day after, go and tell your loved ones that you love them; make sure you are leaving your live the way you want, so one day you'll feel like you've got enough time here and specially that you didn't waste your opportunity to live
can you please shut the fck up. Spoiler alert much!?! I haven't seen this yet but i plan on seeing it!
Such a powerful movie that has stuck with me (or haunted?) since its release. I don't think I can ever bring myself to watch it again however, despite being one of my all time favourites. It's hard to explain why.
I feel the same way. This movie is now being shown at different times and channels. I can't watch again. Very devastating movie.
One of the BEST films I ever seen in my life.....I watched it 11 times or more, truly beautiful, but kinda depressing... Sally Hawkins I love you, you're in every film I like! First Submarine, then An Education, now this! WoW (Andrew and Carey where so cute in this film)
The only thing that breaks your heart even more than the movie itself is the fucking soundtrack. Siriusly, listen to it, specially "We all complete"
ifkr
wolfstar i scream into the distance
Why couldn't Kathy and Tommy just run away together?? Why hadn't anybody tried to escape? I feel like at some point that would be a human response
Why do we slaughter cows knowing they suffer, knowing it's a leader of greenhouse gas emissions and effecting climate change? Because that's the world we live in. Most of us don't even think to question it. Similar scenario here.
I have the same problem with this story. I haven't seen the film, but in the book they appear to have complete freedom to go anywhere and do anything. I can't think of a situation where people would comply with this. It's not like this is compliance under threat of violence, although from this trailer it does look like they characters are under 24/7 surveillance and can be tracked. That is not the case in the book.
Where should they go? What are they supposed to do? They can't just go and get work somewhere, they have no passport or papers or anything. And they can't expect any help. They aren't being forced to do this, because they have no other option. Thats why they let them be. Eventually they will succumb to their fate. And even if one or so runs away they have more than enough to take their place. Running does not save them. They have been sheltered all their childhood, so why leave? They don't really get what life has in store for them, but that at the same time, it is the only possible outcome. The only "real" thing is the whole ordeal about the deferrals. That is the only thing they consider.
This is why the story is such a depressing one. It is not that the characters are hopeless or anything, but the fact that they just accept their role, hurts so much. The characters aren't very angry or upset about their fate, they just... accept it. And we, as the readers, feel we have to be sad for them. Angry for them.
@Patriot Jefferson look even though i agree with most of what u just wrote i do not agree with your comparison to a fetus. a fetus is a clump of cells. no feeling. no pain. the characters in the movie on the otherhand suffer actively, comprehend whats going to happen to them. a fetus is only one small step away from being a naturally dying egg or sperm cell. so i find your comparison quite undignified. "socialists" my god. do you know what a socialist is?
I've just watched this. It's absolutely heartbreaking that their entire lives (though short lived) were nothing but a paradox. It's terrifying how they were given expensive education and taught to be creative and to value the importance of life only to accept the doom of their fate and become mere tools. Although it's disturbingly sad, it's now my favourite movie. I never realised and more importantly cherished the value of time until now.
I don't know why but I can't stop thinking about this movie...its been two days since I first watched this movie....and still I can't let it go off my mind...my eyes everytime gets wet whenever I think about this movie....!!!! Wwowwww♥️
Such an underrated and absolutely spectacular movie!!!! I hope everyone sees it and gives it a chance!!!!
Absolutely loved it!

This movie, with the novel, have changed my life.. forever
I cried while reading the book and I cried while watching the movie. Forever one of my favourite stories.
I just watched this movie for a class today. I had to try hard not to cry... I was really hoping for a happy ending and a meaning for all of it but there just wasn't. You never find out how it all came to be or get more details. It's a good movie but just really sad :(
+Janay Gunderman How come you had to "try hard not to cry"? If I need to, I just bawl my eyes out.
+Christopher Chan nobody wants to cry in front of their classmates (well I know I don't)
I actually live in a town called hailsham :l.... so this is kinda weird.

Must watch this scientific video of NEVER LET ME GO
this movie is aan absolute masterpiece and if anyone is wondering about seeing i'd say go ahead immediatly! it makes you appreciate the fact that you can chose to be however you want to, a very meaningful story original and different from anyotther movie! I have to admit that I've cried like a baby during the whole movie...
because watching a movie isn't just about being surprised by the ending, it's about exploring the emotions that someone is going through or learning more about the story of someone and seeing the product of someone's film making skills which then make a wonderful film which is thought provoking and beautiful to watch :)
Jesus, just watched this movie. it's one of the best I've ever seen. The idea, sense, acting - everything is outstanding. Love it but I'm feeling a great sadness right now. this one hits so hard
The movie is good enough but the book is one of my top favs, masterpiece. Ishiguro is such a great writer.
Wow finally a trailer that doesn't give away the movie.... Gotta see this..
Disregard Females It gave away pretty much every major revelation in the book.
shazbot891 I think he was being sarcastic. Horrible, horrible trailer!
+Disregard Females I get your sarcasm. Literally, this trailer was ridiculous. Glad I didn't watch it until AFTER I saw the movie hahaha
I think in this case it does not matter much. Maybe it makes it even sadder. You know what it is about, and the characters naivitee makes it worse for you. And it doesn't give away everything.
Just done watching this film with mix emotions and teary eyes. Well done! It affects me. I really cant suppressed my hatred to those people behind that shit school for raising kids only to be organ donors. They were like demons in disguise! Just by recalling how they died during their 3rd donation, oh my...that's totally horrible! And about those kids who already grown up and unravel the truth, are they ignorant that much not to asked for help...they were so unlucky to live in the most worst human trafficking era.
this movie hurt my heart, i'm still recovering.
That's odd they left the explosions out.
Haha
Let's go all 'Expendables' on this film, and blast bullet holes into Hailsham!
An ingenious idea perfectly executed. One of the rare cases where I thought the film was better than the book.
Charlotte Horlock I disagree, the movie is good but the book is way more touching, it shows more feelings, I still remember crying when I was reading the end...well, that's my point of view
"maybe none of us really understand what we've lived through"
"...or feel we've had enough time"
@@sanssouffle damn bro it was 6 years ago and I m still recovering.
one of the best movies I have ever seen!
This gives me Promised Neverland vibes.
Yeah I thought I was the only one.
i think it's heavily influenced by the movie and novel
@@SpaceOdyssey-eu5si just read the manga
@@abdessamadlaidouni4674 oh you're one of those ppl huh
Gave "the lobster" vibes to me
A lovely metaphor of what this life is about, which is love and friendship!! Yes, the clock is ticking but don´t we have to focus on what makes us happy then? We have come to love and be loved...
This movie is one of the best I've ever watched. It's made so nice and full of breathtaking moments. It reminded me how are we poor indeed and how our life can hurt so much sometimes. The author of the book has no fear to look into reality. But the fact is that is not all the reality. We are not as hopeless as it was summed up by the main actress. Jesus has come to redeem our souls from this darkness. Let Him heal your broken heart.
One of the most heartbreaking films I've seen. Towards the end, she reminds us that everyone dies. It helped with my profound sadness for the characters. Yes, some will live longer at the cost of others, but no one escapes death. You could feel the desperation for just a few more extra years with a loved one. I found myself wanting them to commit suicide and die in each others arms. To die on their own terms. But, that wasn't what they were programmed to do.
this trailer made me wanna read the novel
definitely worth it
Same here.
That's a +1.. same thing I did with "The fault in our stars", months from releasing. Really shapes your imagination.
One of the most underrated movies of all time
Splendid and sad at the same time. I love how they never tried to simply escape and it was also hardly mentioned in the movie. That's the beauty of it.
I hate it when people say, the book was much better. But in this case, the experience of reading the book was miles better than watching the movie. The movie was a complete letdown. It did have a moving soundtrack, though.
I don't think they got the movie right. Or maybe the book is really hard to make into an entertaining movie. I don't know. I just hate myself right now.
This has nothing to do with the movie but I love that if this were released now, all three of them would have the title of academy award nominees. Cuz at the time Andrew was the only one that hadn't been nominated but now he has!!
Come back here every now and then to feel something
Beautiful film, brilliantly acted and quite sad at the end. But, what I find sadder, is that so many people who watch it do not really get it. It is such a beautifully multi-layered film.
Leaving a like so that you can come back and look at your years long comment
oh my jesus. i went through the comment section yesterday and decided i'm gonna watch this movie today. which i did. and it fucking broke my soul. i'm still crying and it's been an hour already.
This book was fantastic! I hope the movie is just as good!
This movie so fiercely ripped the heart from my chest that EIGHT YEARS later just watching the damn trailer again made me cry.
