Never Let Me Go, Drama Film Movie Review

Never Let Me Go Movie Review. The story of this film is specifically talking about how it feels to live in a dangerous world in which humans’ lives are so not worthy and their existence is only to end up as organ donators. All characters in the film will end up in the same fate and thus love between them urges them to subtly state, “Never let me go”. The core of the story is very much frigtening that we ourselves cannot own our lives. Never Let Me Go is produced by Fox Searchlight Pictures film production company, is a love film which is based on the celebrated novel written by Kazuo Ishiguro. Generally it is a love story, interwoven in a specific theme about the value of life.

Once upon a time in a place called Hailsham, which is located in “another world”, many little children are taken care of, educated, and, consciously or not, prepared to be “organ donators”. They wear some kind of unique bracelets so that their presence can be detected. There, three children are getting closer to each other: Kathy, Tommy, and Ruth. Tommy (Andrew Garfield) and Ruth (Keira Knightly) grow up as a couple of lovers, while Kathy (Carey Mulligan), who is actually in love with Tommy, watching in jealousy without even saying anything.

The time is running and the three go out of the place to face something eerier. When each of them are more aware of each other’s feelings, they are also aware of what happens and will happen to them in the future. Minute by minute, the movie will bring the audiences to the desperation, frustration, and fear of each character when their valueable life will be grabbed out. The love story may be subtle, but the strong atmosphere of something which is like its title, Never Let Me Go, is so strong in this movie. However, that love atmosphere will be more subtle once the value of life conquer all the rest of the story line.

The mood or atmosphere came out of the film directing art by the film director Mark Romanek is so deep and beautiful in its every element. It is all gloomy and dark and romantic at the same time. The cinematographer Adam Kimmel has to be given the best credit for making this movie so beautiful to watch, though very much gloomy in its atmosphere.

The three main actors, Keira Knightly, Andrew Garfield, and Carey Mulligan have performed at their best. Knightly is no doubt one of the most brilliant actress not only in Britain or Europe, but also in Hollywood. So her great portrayal of Ruth is unquestionable. Andrew Garfield has proven that he is not only some kind of cute guy walking around the scenes by working hard to liven up his character as Tommy. But Mulligan is marverlous, her facial expression here is so deep and drowning and saddening. This is definitely a good movie as an adaptation, for Mark Romanek has put a lot of efforts to transport the gloom of the novel correctly to the big screen with a great success.
