Never Let Me Go (DVD) Reviews
Newest Review: ... of three individuals, at boarding schools together and then entering adulthood together as well. These three friends (Kathy, ... more
... Tommy and Ruth) are portrayed as outcasts, shunned by their peers yet for no apparent reason. I loved the bleak portrayal of life at school, dull shades and miserable weather used to good measuer, technology and fun kept out of the visuals almost entirely, to show us that their lives were dire and they had to turn to each other for support.
Then, as they grow older and their lives forge down different paths, it becomes more about their interaction with each other, and the tensions that are shown in this respect. Ro...more

Never Let Me Go (DVD): The bleakness of existence (700 words)by - written on 30/12/12 (Very useful, 23 readings)

`You can see why this tale is a wonder as a book. Simultaneously beautiful and bleak, it transfers quite well onto the screen and tugs at the heartstrings at the same time as making you think about our existence, science and the future. Kazuo Ishiguro's written works are well praised, and this one is no exception.

Welcome to Hailsham, an idyllic English boarding school in the calm, peaceful countryside. Students of Hailsham are special and the headmistress Miss Emily (Charlotte Rampling) particularly emphasises that the students' health and well-being are of paramount importance. They study, they exercise, they occasionally take their medication and nothing seems to be out of the ordinary for this prestigious looking school. But these young and naïve student have absolutely no idea as to the awful future that awaits their short and tragic lives. Yes, the students of Hailsham are special. They have been made artificially to be used as donors of vital organs for people in the ... Read the complete review
