1st reflection : Never Let Me Go

1 st Reflection

  

The book 'Never Let Me Go' written by Kazuo Ishiguro has affected me deep inside. At first my teacher from preparation school has advised me; then, I read and love it. In the plot, there are 3 main characters who are together since their childhood and there is something different in their lives.(The rest contains spoiler).The big secret behind themselves is that they are twins of some diseased people who need an organ and donor. Thus, the superpowers have created them to sacrifice their lives by giving away their organs when they have reached their 20's.Ruth and Tommy are lovers and Katy is their best friends. However, Kathy loves Tommy more than Ruth does. One day an authority says them that if two person are very fall in love to each other, there is a chance for them to save their lives by proving their love. They have been educated as artists and they have to draw or compose or be successful in another kind of art. When they learn that they can protect themselves by proving their true love, they think that all of the art products they have made makes sense anymore. The only way to prove it is to show the  authorities their old pieces of art and make them sure about their love. However, Ruth does not really love Tommy so, Tommy and Kathy must be together to survive and move onto their lives. In the end, Tommy breaks up with Ruth and be a couple with Kathy but they cannot survive as it revealed that this is an only fake and uncorroborated knowledge.

I like the way the characters talk. Kathy represents the voice 

of patience and love. Ruth is like a passionate and 

unbeatable fighter and Tommy is a fragile but strong boy. Kazuo describes people, situations and their relationships such a successful way that one cannot stay calm while reading and watching the movie. Although a lot of books are not successful when they have been shot in cinema, this is one of the exceptions and very effective film.

In the film Carey Mulligan has acted as Kathy, Andrew Garfield is Tommy and Ella Purnell is Ruth.The perspectives of scenes is brilliant. The film is so pathetic that most of the time I have watched it with wet eyes. After one sees the film, it is inevitable to think if there are these kinds of actions like cloning in the development powers.
