Never Let Me Go is a sci-fi movie about humans advances in science. Humans can live up to 200 years, as they created clones as they are predestined “organ donors.” Though that sounds like an astounding advancement in science, we see the perspective of these medical advances through those of the clones. Though sci-fi, the movie details on real life problems about the dehumanization of science and how one’s life can be left out in the pursuit scientific efforts for others to live through all death is inevitable though the ideals placed in the film. We can see this with the props/accessories they use, the color scheme the movie creators choose, and the music/media references made in the film.

As they leave and head to being a “caregiver” to other clones before they have to give their life away as organ donors. We see songs and media such as TV played in the background. As Kathy drives to hospital the song “Never let me go” (also the title of the movie) is played from her radio. I myself went to look up this song, but came to find out that it wasn’t a real song, but a song created for the movie, along with the TV shows and movies that clones would watch throughout the movie. Such as in the cottages, they would watch a TV called “That House,” which seemed like a regular sitcom, expect the dialogue was monologue, along with a movie Kathy would watch at her house that was a romance film, except of kissing or embracing the couple would shake hands in the end of them film. I went to look this up and later found out that the film was based on the book, and in the book the clones had their own separate media such as TV, movies, books, and music that they could “enjoy.” This was apparently to detach the clones of human feelings, even though the clones were human clones and could feel the same emotions and feelings as if any other normal human could.

We, the audience, however see this advancement from the perspective of the clones, who are the organ donors. Though this perspective along with the props/accessories they use, the color scheme the movie creators choose, and the music/media references made in the film we see that is that death is inevitable and so is the concept of time. That in the end of all our lives (both clone and human) no matter how old or how young we die we want more time. We see that these clones such as Kathy have a painful reality of time and reminds us (the audience) to live our lives to the fullest. It reminds us to embrace and accept the love we see in the people around us like clones in the film did, and most of all, to understand the crazy world we live in that has an oppressive system of time.
