Never Let Me Go 2010



It’s the story of Kathy ,Ruth and Tommy .Not exactly a love triangle…not exactly a science-fiction…not exactly a british film.Mark Romanek’s third movie is a dystopian drama based on Kazuo Ishiguro novel of the same name. Starring Carey Mulligan , Andrew Garfield and Keira Knightley.3 protagonists are speciemens deigned to thrive for a sole reason of providing organs for severely –ill amongst normal population.There is no evidence of such murky future in opening section of the movie .A calm childhood incarcerated in Hailsham; an elite boarding school , all as a prelude of a convicted life in which the three characters are imprisoned. There is a blossoming hope of a possible deferral,which appears to be untrue. 3 caharacters in this movie weakened and downtrodden find no horizon for their doomed life beyond donating their organs freely and show-off the number of painful procedures they ‘ve undergone. I assume the movie is critical about materialism , and the science-fiction icing is just instrumental to define the sharp borders of sordid reality . Gloomy landscapes and sad expression and wordless conversations lead a morbid passage to a cold and barren world. Where even beautifully portrayed love can’t save desperate souls as they defenselessly embrace their empty ending.



“Never Let Me Go “ conjures up so much questions in an eligible fashion.It was a great pleasure watching this movie , absolutely unexpected !
