This is your life in 103 min.

I have never seen a movie like this "Never let me go" before.
It capture everything about our life; our exsitens; what we do and what we don´t do.
And it shows life as life is - without any glamour, idealism or other illusions we may like or need to hide the naked, plain and repetitive reality in.

This is your life in 103 min.

In the childhood you learn what is needed to be a member of society, ie how to be social and to get a job so you can support yourself, a family and the 'dreams' you have.
But did or do you ever ask any questions? Is there other ways to think, to live this life - is this what you want, and what do you truly want or need?
This is in the scene where the children are questioned by Miss Lucy why they did't get the ball that landed just outside of the school grounds?
"school grounds" symbolizes what they know/have learned; You just can't do that - they had even learned a thought pattern to stop them right there: the story about the boy that tryed and died a horrible dead!
Another side of this is in the scene where Tommy is getting pick on by the other boys because of his clothes and the way he act out. Also when they selected the two teams to the game the boys tease him, and the girls is also picking on Tommy here...
/*Darwin is joining us*/ Our life = dna + learned rules. And one of the rules is survival of the fittest; so Tommy MUST be pick on, he is weak and different.

Have you ever pick on anyone or been on the receiving end?: 'advance by picking on the weak' Could this movie be about your life?

This is one of the ways that help to destroy the life of Kathy, Tommy and Ruth (they are us), another way is because of the op rule: any competitor must be removed - that is in the scene where Kathy in love is dancing with herself to the song "Never let me go" from the tape she got from Tommy. Ruth see Kathy's happiness and understand Kathy's connection with Tommy. Later in the movie Ruth tells Kathy and Tommy that she after seeing this, choosed Tommy so Kathy and Tommy couldnt be together, and her alone - The choice for Ruth was 'try to remove the competitor or be the one that is removed'.

Have you been in a situation like that: 'try to remove the competitor or be the one that is removed'? And this movie is still not about our life?

Are you happy with your life as it is - I am taking about the big lines, not if u need the newest jphone or another set of shoes, boyfriend or job, but about another way to live; not use the most of your childhood learning stuff that just get u where u are now, not to use most of your life to work in a sad and boring repetive workplace, not to have the irrational need to have a family or be in one, etc. - and have you tried to break away from this; the predefined life? Do you know any that have done it? What - A movie about us?
Who is really holding you back; no one!
Wrong! There is one! YOU are - or to be more precise your dna is. Evolution is governing how we can/must live our life, etc.
Like in the scene in the school where the children check in and out using their bracelet and there is no one in the hole movie that is watching them.
This is also in the scene where Miss Lucy in the classroom is explaining to the children that their life is predefined, that they don't have a say in it, and when she is done speaking and waiting for a responds, no one does - no wait, there is one. Darwin does - or more correct, nature does by blowing the vind that makes the piece of paper land on the floor. And what does Tommy do - he has just been told that his life is predefined, he is a donor, that he is fücked!?! - and yes he bends down for natur and puts the piece of paper back, because it was just SO important vs his predefined fücked up life!

/* Darwin giggles */ STOP RIGHT THERE, DARWIN! That is SO not funny!

The donations are what are taken from your body and mind until you die. By age, sickness, work, accident, self inflicted, war, etc.

So it is the evolution you must blame for all this?
Well, if you look at Kathy, Tommy and Ruth, it only took three persons to fück it all up.

TAKE THAT DARWIN! We can without you!

And then Miss Emily (the Evolution, dna, natur...) looked at her creation to see if there was any soul to be found? NOPE!

What religion is there that does NOT require a soul? So, no soul = no religion = no god(s) = no afterlife!

Never let me go - for this is all you get, there is nothing after it!
