Synopsis
As children, Ruth, Kathy and Tommy, spend their childhood at a seemingly idyllic English boarding school. As they grow into young adults, they find that they have to come to terms with the strength of the love they feel for each other, while preparing themselves for the haunting reality that awaits them.The three children were living in a exemplary boarding school and one of their teacher told them that they existed only as organ donors for transplants. It meant they were cloned human. They accepted their fate and they grew up with a feeling of love and friendship until the day of donation.
At first I did not understand why they did not try to escape. But as the movie progresses I found the answer to my question.
Their knowledge was all that they learned from the boarding school and their world was also confined in there. They could not think leaving of the outside world from there.
When I watched this movie, I thought the subject matter is similar to "THE ISLAND". But when it comes to the storyline, this movie and THE ISLAND are worlds apart. In my opinion, this movie may be more cruel but this is realistic.
The cloning research may benefit the human but it always involve moral issues. In this movie, they were born and raised almost as livestocks. But they had souls and feelings and that made me so sad.
At the end of the movie the heroine Kathy asked to herself whether her fate is really any different from the people who will receive her organs: after all, "we are all complete" and we all have the feeling though we never had enough time.
Yes, she is right. Life is valuable whether you live long or not, it doesn't matter. What mattters is how you live your life.
My rating:★★★★
