Well it makes sense. movie don't have an Awesome story. it don't have any very sad background music, No one cry hard, no sad lines. Nothing big in climax. But still we love this movie. I mean I can't explain anyone why he should watch this? It has something hidden. Lots of sad movie use sad background music to trick our mind. This movie use something hidden
I agree ..some movies would get me bored half way before getting into the interesting part but this one is ...I dt know how to describe...like there's something simple yet it makes me have the feel of wanting to continue watching it till the end.
I've read the book and seen the movie several times. At first, I thought it was the most depressing book ever but after reading it and watching it over the years, I see humanity and optimism in the story. It's about letting people you love know that you love them and righting wrongs in the short time we have on Earth. It changed my life. One of my favorites.
Oh, wow, I hadn't really thought about it before, but that image of the fence is really striking. It's like the barrier between life and death; Kathy is imagining that there's something on the other side, and it's beautiful... but she doesn't know that. There's that hill there, and she can't really see beyond. Meanwhile, the fence is barbed wire, so getting through it would tear you up. The bits of cloth on the fence are like... like what's left of people who've crossed over, torn up and left shaking in the wind. None of it is what I'd call direct symbology, mind you, but... These are the impressions I get.
I have watched thousands of movies over the years but I have never watched a movie so deeply saddening. I was absolutely destroyed after watching Never Let Me Go. Even though I find it a really good film, I doubt that I will ever watch it again.
On the contrary, I still watch this movie from time to time... It's not because I am masochist: I find it in some way purifying (or cathartic, just to use a difficult word for a simple feeling)
I completely agree. I think of this movie from time to time and just have to think for a while, but I don't believe I could bring myself to watch it again. Even though I recommend it to everyone and adore it myself.
+Bulkbu Gaming I empathise...and yet after coming upon it by accident on tv the first time, and weeping until I could weep no more, and swearing I would never watch it again, I eventually bought my own copy and regularly go back to it (always with a box of tissues beside me). The movie is a worthy translation of the book and, though sad, I feel that it is an embodiment of all that we strive for and hold dear in our world, as we try to find connections with the others around us, and hold on to those Special Ones for as long as we possibly can.
Try Atonement. It's also a truly sad story. More profound perhaps, just because it's a more realistic and non-fiction one. Great soundtracks in both movies by the way.
I prefer the last line of the book tbh. Kathy goes back to where she's "supposed to be" because she has been raised in a society that never lets her realise the awfulness of the clones' oppression. We already know she didn't have enough time with Tommy and Ruth, especially in the book where the characters are more three dimensional, it's more important to hear that the clones of the future will continue to suffer this way forever.
It’s so simple and applicable to donors or otherwise. No one knows why we are here, and we certainly never feel we have enough time. I thought I’d be 25 forever. It doesn’t work that way unfortunately. 😢
The scene when Ruth's final organ was being pulled Just killed me there till the end of the movie. The way she just lays there treated like a piece of meat follwoed by Tommy and Kathy's small glimmer of hope. And then him just being aggressively man handled after being sedated. It truly does break my heart seeing them treated like that. Such an emotional and moving film.Cant wait to read the book.
"or, feel we've had enough time." One message is whether we do not know when we will or die, or rather like the tragic clones in the movie, we know when the end will be, we should live in such a manner that when the end comes we can at least feel as though we have had enough time.
"Never let me go" (the book, first of all) was a kind of a revelation to me, one of the rare, special books that mysteriously choose you instead of being chosen. And I am not speaking figuratively: some years ago I found a copy abandoned on a bench in my hometown and started reading it even if english is not my native language (as you may guess). The story was intriguing, but at some point I misteriously lost that copy...or maybe the book choosed another reader! Obviously I rushed for another copy at a near english library: I bought it and finally reached the end. I experienced a strange mix of feelings: I was sad, but also feeling purified and peaceful, just like Kathy H, in the end It was like somebody has told me things that I already knew but that I never have been really aware of. The film is a good trasposition, with some excellent performance (Carey Mullighan is fantastic): it deserved to be more successful.
the book also kinda found me... my mom came home one day with a load of books from the used book store and asked me to read a few over the summer. Never Let Me go was one of them and oh man, that was one unbelievable read. to be honest it made me very depressed for a long time but once I finished it I came to terms just like Kathy does. it's a bit of a fourth wall-breaking, paradoxical, self-fulfilling prophecy, right? honestly though this last bit of script that they added in to the film is beautiful.
I like this. I have a book like that, one that kind of "found me," and coincidentally is not in MY first language, either (it's in French). :) Actually it tried to "find me" 10 years prior, I had a copy but never read it...and then years later, I saw another copy in a bookstore and was like "oh what the heck, I'll read this now I guess." I had gone in to that store that day thinking I was in the mood finally to read another book from a certain author, so would check out what that store had and go from there. And it was that book. I bought it even knowing I had another copy back home in another country. I just felt ready to finally read it. And it was amazing (for me), lol, and the timing was definitely right and needed in my life then. All that just to say... I love the idea of a book finding you, thanks for that!! :D
The movie breaks me down in so many ways, but it is also Rachel Portmans music that contributes to the feeling of melancholy though out the whole film. I have read the book also, and it is an incredible read, but I always try to separate the books from the movies. It is really like apples, and oranges. Now when I read the book, I have the soundtrack playing in the background to give me an even more emotional feeling.
*Rachel* *Portman* *is* *a* *heavenly* *gift* *to* *this* *world.* Sound of her music runs through the characters of this movie and we the viewers find ourselves immediately transferred into their world. Their struggle becomes ours. This scene sums up the whole of human enterprise. I'm eternally grateful for everything and everyone who contributed their efforts to create this incredible piece of art.
Reminds me of Blade Runner. Seriously. These people grown for the purpose of serving others and given an expiration date. All they really want is to live longer.
the book is different, you don't really get attached to the characters, possibly because the book is written with a bit of a grey under tone, just, as if it is always cloudy, the characters are a bit flat, cause they've never had a real life. yet the end scene in the book is more accepting an beautifull than it is in the movie. it does display it well, a little bit of a golden glow at the end, heart warming, but only that to let your heart slowly sink in to the pain and missery Kathy could never expose. i haven't seen the movie. but only read the book as an english assignment, i'm from Holland, so. anyways, that is how i experienced the ending, with a tear and a smile.
For me the book left me frustrated and i didn't understand why they where so complacent to their fate... so i kind of didn't like it. Came across the film after and for some reason the elements of their acceptance that i hadn't really understood before just clicked, i bawled my eyes out and it made me retroactively love the book! Plus that last scene is one of the best of all time i think, beautiful words.
The book illustrates their complacency perfectly, though. It is about people not questioning their oppression if they've lived it all their life. My removing much of that from the film, it loses a lot of its social commentary.
One of the best endings to a film I have ever seen. The script is brilliant. That last line just finishes me off. And the flashback of Kathy and Tommy as children... Heart breaking.
When they cut back to the scene at the school when they were children, oh my...hits me hard because we all can relate to the innocence of being children and they just will never have what we have, a life. And yes, it is only a movie, but the emotions feel so real I almost feel they tell the story of future people who will/could indeed go through something similar.
For some reason, I could imagine this clip in animation. The typical Japanese anime drama at that, where even in silence you could feel melancholy but in incontestible relief, and leaving you in awe. Now, I realize.. it's double the impact.. when it's done by real human. 😫😶
This movie is very haunting. If you were watching, imagining the love triangle is the main point for the story, the realization of what does happen would shock you. It's been several years since I'd first run across this dark story and I still feel it was one movie I'd wish I'd never seen....even though the production values were wonderful.
I just remember sitting as the end credits rolled and having this heavy feeling where I was so depressed that I couldn't cry- very underrated movie... depressing but good
It’s been a week since I’ve lost my nephew. My heart is filled and i wanted to let it all out. I remembered this movie which I’ve watched 6 years ago, searched for this scene and I couldn’t stop crying as the music started. I felt something mutual while watching. I have no idea why i had to come here again after all the years. The movie is hiddenly touching and leaves it’s touch in you forever 💔
I'm so sorry for your loss; if its any consolation, your nephew is in Jannah with Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham PBUH under his care and you'll reunite with him one day.
“Hiraeth - a homesickness for a home to which you cannot return, a home which maybe never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the grief for the lost places of your past”
This movie shook me down. I have not cried during a movie as an adult until I watched it last night. I think that's because it triggered my sense of justice.
For me, the reasons that they did not escape, although Ishiguro has stated that it's a metaphor to our lives (which is inevitable), it also seems that the lives of these clones do not 'belong' to them somehow, - Imagine yourself being told 'suddenly' that you meant nothing 'biologically' to this world but a cattle, a pig, ready to be slaughtered. It's a kind of existential 'loss'. And the only way that can end that suffering is through death. . And also, it's perhaps related to thing called 'survival guilt' also . What an amazing legendary book/film.
Is that really an issue for a lot of people? I've always known I have no intrinsic importance and I don't believe in the concept of "meaning" as such. I'm basically a nihilist. None of that bothers me. The one thing that does bother me is being alone and unloved. These characters didn't have that problem. They had each other. They could have run away and hidden.
This might be playing devil's advocate a little, but isn't being loved a measure of importance too? A different kind of importance, not a cosmic one, but a relative one: being of immense value to someone else.
@@EmilyRabjerg That's a horrific thing for any child to hear. I hope you thrive, not just to spite her, but because those who suffer the most, are those that deserve to find love, peace, and to prosper.
Oh it has been a long time since I have seen this. When the last scene passed I was inconsolable, weeping tears of grief. It was the hardest thing I have ever seen .
There are books and films (very few) that can change the way you look at your life, and the lifes of the ones that surrounds you too. For me Never let me go is for sure one of them. It goes deep into your soul, and stays there unforgettable. When I need to take a break and reconsider my priorities I read this final page once more, and quietly weep inside, the way Kathy H. do. It's pure catharsis. P.s.: Carey Mulligan, you did a wonderful job. I think I'm in love!
This movie really surprised me, I thought it was going to be creepy and weird, but it was very Heartfelt, and Deep. Great movie! Should of got more attention for sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Those that hate the weakness of the characters are missing the point They were designed to be weaker To serve their purpose and die. If this is weak I'm as weak as they come!
I watched this film many time and every time I watched it I feel more unique and defrent there is somthing in this movie I never found in another before
I think that it's not about escaping our fate, but about being able to look back on what we've done and sort of understand that it was enough. We do all complete, but maybe we shouldn't focus on the end, maybe we should focus on the memories and the things we've lost, because in the end that's all there is.
After watching this film , I've somehow been compeled more often lately to think about how I'm supposed to live with dignity thanks to Mr, Kazuo Ishigro's imaginative tricks behind the story...I feel like he still seems to be telling us a very little , but of course , he tells us everything throughout his works, his background of the post war of Japan and his birthplace , Nagasaki ,where a hundred thousands of innocent people were killed by the atomic bomb dropped there .
that sunset and the words and the tree and her face and the plastic blowing in the wind. i cant express the emotion i manage myself being there instead of her and i feel an immense sadness its so hard to describe
My dad showed this movie to me a few days after one of my friends died when I was in high school. I had to fight really hard to not cry in front of him when this scene came on
Just finished the book the day before yesterday. The funny thing is that in the end of the novel Kathy clearly stated that she wasn't crying, nor did she say that she wondered if the people they saved have the same lives with them. It's almost like the director saying "the audience will be too stupid to figure it out so why don't we just tell the audience?" I kinda feel that the movie overly simplify the ideas in the novel. Still a great movie though. It is very hard to adapt such a complicated book into a movie. This scene is very, very beautiful and sad. The environment is precisely in the way that the novel depicts. Beautiful.
The symbolism I noticed in this movie Ruth dies alone, just like she always feared Tommy dies with someone by his side, making up for all the times he was left out as a kid
That house scène where They go to apply for something that never existed is haunting! Hope at the start followed by complete dispair! How utterly powerless They must of felt at that point.
I look for films that effect my emotions and this is one of the few that really have, it is possibly one of the saddest endings of any film I have seen, and it greatly effected me at the time, if you liked this film you should look out other works by Alex Garland like Ex machina.....
Seems somewhat similar to The Promised Neverland in the terms of them being cattle, and being used to keep someone else alive.. both of the movie/show are very sad in my opinion.
I'm 15 years old, and I read the book before I watched the movie. I swear the book was so heartbreaking, as well as the movie. I seriously recommend reading the book, it will leave you, just..EMPTY! I was seriously in this rut after reading it, but kind of in a good way. Since reading the book and watching the movie probably about a year ago, this movie comes to my mind almost every day
This film is masterpiece .Its depresing and so sad,but the film lines are sooo sharp they hurt soo much.I am in some melanholy state ,and cant stop thinking about my past and the future life :) .This film ,especialy the end hits me so hard
The movie was so sad and beautiful. I wish they had added the part where Tommy talks about how he and Kathy are like 2 people in a river trying to hold onto each other but in the end they have to let go because the current is too strong.
i loved this movie and the book was absolutely amazing and beautiful. I know im not doing it enough justice with my words but i cant describe the beauty of it.
I saw this movie and I have to think it over and over again. How could they just wait for their "completion"? If I were them I would have focused on how to escape, to find some kind of get away route, to free myself.
I enjoyed reading the sequel to Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel (on which the movie is based) which is a Kindle eBook called “the love, the pain, that defied all understanding” written by Michael White, although it is rather strange.
I don't think I'll ever see the film. I liked the book, but for me it was hard to stomach the horrible society it presents. It really made me feel bad about how people use other people. So taking into account that it was hard for me to read the book, imagine how hard it will be to actually see the plot in images. And if they were the privileged, I can imagine how the non-privileged clones are treated: like cattle in a prison, uneducated, without a single person being kind to them...
I don't think you really understand the message of the book. Ishiguro is not depicting a fantastic world or a a sci-fi drama: he is speaking about OUR LIFES (obviously with the use of metaphores). We are the donors and we have no choice but to try to give meaning to our lifes, in the very short time made avaible to us
Everybody at my bookclub disagreed with you, but have it your own way. If you think your opinion is the only right one, and that everybody else "doesn't get it", it's alright with me. I keep my opinion: for me it was hard to stomach the reading of the novel, and I'm not going to see the film based on that.
It's not only my opinion, but Ishiguro opinion (you can see a very interesting interview with Ishiguro about "never let me go" here on youtube). Anyway you and your friends at the bookclub are obvoulsy entitled to keep your own opinions...even if they don't catch the deeper meaning of the story (in my opinion)!
Yeah, well; the opinion of the author over their own work is the only one that matters; what each reader gets from each work is wrong if it doesn't copy the author's opinion. I guess it has never happened before, and we were the first.
Lisa Simpson Rules I have never stated that the opinion of the author is the only one that matters, but, if you grant me that, we can assume that he knows what he have written and the purpose of his work...or not? Anyway, you can stick to your opinion, I am really not interested.
This movie is unbelievably underrated...
Well it makes sense. movie don't have an Awesome story. it don't have any very sad background music, No one cry hard, no sad lines. Nothing big in climax. But still we love this movie. I mean I can't explain anyone why he should watch this? It has something hidden. Lots of sad movie use sad background music to trick our mind. This movie use something hidden
I agree ..some movies would get me bored half way before getting into the interesting part but this one is ...I dt know how to describe...like there's something simple yet it makes me have the feel of wanting to continue watching it till the end.
Yeah ..But I love it ..
@@surajkushwah3221 actually this movie made me cry a lot
And heartbreaking!
The way Tommy just smiles at her when he's on the table just says everything...
"I remind myself I was lucky to of had any time with him at all." Hits me hard 😓
To have had**** To of had is not ever, ever, ever correct. It is not a thing.
@@angelinamainetti8596 HA!
Angelina Mainetti ‘not ever ever ever’. You mean ‘never’? 😄
I've read the book and seen the movie several times. At first, I thought it was the most depressing book ever but after reading it and watching it over the years, I see humanity and optimism in the story. It's about letting people you love know that you love them and righting wrongs in the short time we have on Earth. It changed my life. One of my favorites.
What a comment
Just amazing
"Always reread your favorite books and movies at different stages of your life. The plot never changes but your perspective does."
thanks for this comment, it's fantastic
@@zoedelacruz9931 so true.. it does change.
anyone know the message trying to be told from this scene
That scene of little Kathy and little Tommy smiling at each other after Tommy dies rips me apart
Oh, wow, I hadn't really thought about it before, but that image of the fence is really striking.

Yes, and in the final part, there are two main bits of plastic, almost side by side.
Your totally right and I agree.
Your observations and emotions are so true and accurate.
My goodness, my eyes shot full of tears when i read this. beautiful.
you're reaching.
"It's been two weeks since I lost him"
Already crying.
One the best endings to a film which displays humanity’s existential crisis.
Why did she lost him?
How did he die? I did not understand the movie?🥺
Aroma Agba I would seriously recommend reading the book. I think it will explain it quite well.
@@maryqueen8043 he died by donating organs, which is their destiny as "clones"
@@maryqueen8043 they had to donate their organs one by one, they are like orphans
The way she says "Tommy" is so heavy, yet so unbearably tender.
It's most possibly the saddest, gut-wrenching film I've ever seen.

tragically beautiful book. Portman’s score truly elevates the movie. One of my favorites films.
It’s Keira Knightley Not Nathalie Portman who play Ruth
Marie Mairet-Laporte read the sentence again and then Google who made the music for the film
How did you watched it?
@@kraigadams You're my favourite youtuber. Keep up man love from 🇮🇳
Instead of saying Rachel portman who is the music director of the film he said Natalie Portman
the final line of the film hits hard. damn
That lines not even in the book
True. However the idea is, that's the story Ishiguro wanted to tell. But it would've made the book better, that line is fucking perfect.
I prefer the last line of the book tbh. Kathy goes back to where she's "supposed to be" because she has been raised in a society that never lets her realise the awfulness of the clones' oppression.

It brings a new sense to telling another person "they complete you."
I don't know why I'm here when I've already watched the full movie and cried enough!! 😭
All I can say is don't watch this movie if you're depressed, by the way this is a beautiful movie with a very deep story!
This is the only movie scene that makes me cry everytime I watch it. Everything from the music, to the scenery, to the dialogue is so emotional.

I have no idea why i had to come here again after all the years. The movie is hiddenly touching and leaves it’s touch in you forever 💔
I'm so sorry for your loss; if its any consolation, your nephew is in Jannah with Prophet Ibrahim/Abraham PBUH under his care and you'll reunite with him one day.
@@duhvakiin3467 thank you so much, that’s kind of you to care ❤️🙏
“Hiraeth - a homesickness for a home to which
you cannot return, a home which maybe
never was; the nostalgia, the yearning, the
grief for the lost places of your past”
This movie shook me down. I have not cried during a movie as an adult until I watched it last night. I think that's because it triggered my sense of justice.
For me, the reasons that they did not escape,
although Ishiguro has stated that it's a metaphor to our lives (which is inevitable),
it also seems that the lives of these clones do not 'belong' to them somehow,
- Imagine yourself being told 'suddenly' that you meant nothing 'biologically' to this world but a cattle, a pig, ready to be slaughtered. It's a kind of existential 'loss'.
And the only way that can end that suffering is through death.
.
And also, it's perhaps related to thing called 'survival guilt' also
.
What an amazing legendary book/film.
Is that really an issue for a lot of people? I've always known I have no intrinsic importance and I don't believe in the concept of "meaning" as such. I'm basically a nihilist.
None of that bothers me.
The one thing that does bother me is being alone and unloved. These characters didn't have that problem. They had each other. They could have run away and hidden.
This might be playing devil's advocate a little, but isn't being loved a measure of importance too? A different kind of importance, not a cosmic one, but a relative one: being of immense value to someone else.
Kazuo said in an interview something like "how could you escape if it's the only reality that you know?" (Non-verbatim)
I've been told: "I shouldn't have live, you don't belong here" by my own grandma when I was 3-4 y.o.
@@EmilyRabjerg That's a horrific thing for any child to hear. I hope you thrive, not just to spite her, but because those who suffer the most, are those that deserve to find love, peace, and to prosper.
I find myself returning to this video every once in a while for years, having the same thoughts..
Oh it has been a long time since I have seen this. When the last scene passed I was inconsolable, weeping tears of grief. It was the hardest thing I have ever seen .
There are books and films (very few) that can change the way you look at your life, and the lifes of the ones that surrounds you too.
For me Never let me go is for sure one of them. It goes deep into your soul, and stays there unforgettable.
When I need to take a break and reconsider my priorities I read this final page once more, and quietly weep inside, the way Kathy H. do.
It's pure catharsis.
P.s.: Carey Mulligan, you did a wonderful job. I think I'm in love!
This is the saddest movie that exits
I see comments and my truth would be that we all go through this and to see it on a screen sort of gives a ridiculous relief that we arn't alone.
im crayin like a child ..evrytime i watched this final cut. it's never boring !!! she is such a beautiful and pro actrice.
I'm usually not one to cry over movies. It's very rare that I do, but this one is an exception.
This movie really surprised me, I thought it was going to be creepy and weird, but it was very Heartfelt, and Deep. Great movie! Should of got more attention for sure! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Omg the flashback to when they were children :'(
What I have learnt from this movie, that our life is so precious, we have to enjoy the time what we have, because one day it going to end.
Those that hate the weakness of the characters are missing the point
They were designed to be weaker
To serve their purpose and die.
If this is weak
I'm as weak as they come!
It sums up all those emotions we feel when we lose someone we loved.
This movie did not get enough attention. It was heart rending
I watched this film many time and every time I watched it I feel more unique and defrent there is somthing in this movie I never found in another before
read the book :)
I think that it's not about escaping our fate, but about being able to look back on what we've done and sort of understand that it was enough. We do all complete, but maybe we shouldn't focus on the end, maybe we should focus on the memories and the things we've lost, because in the end that's all there is.
After watching this film , I've somehow been compeled more often lately to think about how I'm supposed to live with dignity thanks to Mr, Kazuo Ishigro's imaginative tricks behind the story...I feel like he still seems to be telling us a very little , but of course , he tells us everything throughout his works, his background of the post war of Japan and his birthplace , Nagasaki ,where a hundred thousands of innocent people were killed by the atomic bomb dropped there .
Just watched this movie, so devastating and poignant.
that sunset and the words and the tree and her face and the plastic blowing in the wind. i cant express the emotion i manage myself being there instead of her and i feel an immense sadness its so hard to describe
It's an excellent film but I couldn't believe none of them even tried to escape.
so true
To "escape" means to go back to freedom, one can not go back to where one has never been.
Adrian Lemarchal couldn't have been summed up any better than this.
AL
That's it!!!!
they have been conditioned since birth... they could not even imagine something different...
My dad showed this movie to me a few days after one of my friends died when I was in high school. I had to fight really hard to not cry in front of him when this scene came on
We all complete... 😓
maybe none of us really understand what we've been through....
or feel we've had enough time.
we watched this in school.. ive never cried as much in my life
The movie left me speechless, soundtrack broke my heart and now the book has taken what was left of me :-(
Just finished the book the day before yesterday. The funny thing is that in the end of the novel Kathy clearly stated that she wasn't crying, nor did she say that she wondered if the people they saved have the same lives with them. It's almost like the director saying "the audience will be too stupid to figure it out so why don't we just tell the audience?" I kinda feel that the movie overly simplify the ideas in the novel. Still a great movie though. It is very hard to adapt such a complicated book into a movie. This scene is very, very beautiful and sad. The environment is precisely in the way that the novel depicts. Beautiful.
partly untrue she does say ' and though the tears rolled down my face'
completely underrated. such a touching movie. oscar nomination worthy to be honest
This ending is heartbreaking yet somehow beautiful at the same time.
sobbed all the way though this scene
I will never forget this scene.
This movie really broke me for a while after watching.. so haunting, yet it's scripted so beautifully..
The symbolism I noticed in this movie
Ruth dies alone, just like she always feared
Tommy dies with someone by his side, making up for all the times he was left out as a kid
That house scène where They go to apply for something that never existed is haunting! Hope at the start followed by complete dispair! How utterly powerless They must of felt at that point.
I look for films that effect my emotions and this is one of the few that really have, it is possibly one of the saddest endings of any film I have seen, and it greatly effected me at the time, if you liked this film you should look out other works by Alex Garland like Ex machina.....
hey can you recommend some movies like this. I have been looking for this type of movies which effect me.
I was so depressed after watching this movie :( it stuck with me. beautiful yet heartbreaking.
I cried my eyes out twice. The first time I saw the whole movie then I rewinded at some parts and started crying again! This is the best movie ever!
It was very amotional. I was watching and watching and watching and in the end i cryed and said: "I hope it will never happand in real life".
Suddenly the lottery lie in The Island doesn't look so bad.
hahahaha your comment just made my day!!
This movie has the best scenery I have ever seen. A beautiful but sad art piece.
her voice for this and her face, she was perfect for this role
Seems somewhat similar to The Promised Neverland in the terms of them being cattle, and being used to keep someone else alive.. both of the movie/show are very sad in my opinion.
I'm 15 years old, and I read the book before I watched the movie. I swear the book was so heartbreaking, as well as the movie. I seriously recommend reading the book, it will leave you, just..EMPTY! I was seriously in this rut after reading it, but kind of in a good way. Since reading the book and watching the movie probably about a year ago, this movie comes to my mind almost every day
Every time I think about this scene, I feel a little choked up.
I don't cry very often during movies, but I was a waterfall at the end of this movie.
This is the future. Being cattle for the “elites”.
Willing cattle. “I’m ready for donating my parts.”
No fight in any of them.
I want more of this freaking movie. I can’t believe they only had one love scene. God damn you Keira Knightly!!
certainly one of the best movies out there.
Still crying in 2019
This film is masterpiece .Its depresing and so sad,but the film lines are sooo sharp they hurt soo much.I am in some melanholy state ,and cant stop thinking about my past and the future life :) .This film ,especialy the end hits me so hard
The movie was so sad and beautiful. I wish they had added the part where Tommy talks about how he and Kathy are like 2 people in a river trying to hold onto each other but in the end they have to let go because the current is too strong.
Yes, very underrated and has Carey Mulligan and Keira Knightly's greatest performances.
Best title for a book or movie of all time.
i loved this movie and the book was absolutely amazing and beautiful. I know im not doing it enough justice with my words but i cant describe the beauty of it.
I always cry when i see or listen this music!!
I'm not crying... you are
that's the saddest scene in the world.
I love how it quoted from the book in the end. What an adaptation!
I saw this movie and I have to think it over and over again. How could they just wait for their "completion"? If I were them I would have focused on how to escape, to find some kind of get away route, to free myself.
Esse final acaba comigo. Choro sempre quando assisto, mesmo já conhecendo o filme. 😢
I never watched this movie before but this scene just made me cry , I don't know why but it seems a heart beaker movie :'(
Tremendously sad
I enjoyed reading the sequel to Kazuo Ishiguro’s novel (on which the movie is based) which is a Kindle eBook called “the love, the pain, that defied all understanding” written by Michael White, although it is rather strange.
I don't think I'll ever see the film. I liked the book, but for me it was hard to stomach the horrible society it presents. It really made me feel bad about how people use other people. So taking into account that it was hard for me to read the book, imagine how hard it will be to actually see the plot in images. And if they were the privileged, I can imagine how the non-privileged clones are treated: like cattle in a prison, uneducated, without a single person being kind to them...
I don't think you really understand the message of the book.
Ishiguro is not depicting a fantastic world or a a sci-fi drama: he is speaking about OUR LIFES (obviously with the use of metaphores).
We are the donors and we have no choice but to try to give meaning to our lifes, in the very short time made avaible to us
Everybody at my bookclub disagreed with you, but have it your own way. If you think your opinion is the only right one, and that everybody else "doesn't get it", it's alright with me. I keep my opinion: for me it was hard to stomach the reading of the novel, and I'm not going to see the film based on that.
It's not only my opinion, but Ishiguro opinion (you can see a very interesting interview with Ishiguro about "never let me go" here on youtube).
Anyway you and your friends at the bookclub are obvoulsy entitled to keep your own opinions...even if they don't catch the deeper meaning of the story (in my opinion)!
Yeah, well; the opinion of the author over their own work is the only one that matters; what each reader gets from each work is wrong if it doesn't copy the author's opinion. I guess it has never happened before, and we were the first.
Lisa Simpson Rules
I have never stated that the opinion of the author is the only one that matters, but, if you grant me that, we can assume that he knows what he have written and the purpose of his work...or not?
Anyway, you can stick to your opinion, I am really not interested.
