Teasing clones

Have you ever felt like shaking your head, after watching a film, not to just say "no!", but more like "am I supposed to buy that?", and perhaps to learn how to be a little more human, being so very moved by the sad story of young human clones born to give their vital organs away before they're middle-aged?

This was the case:

Never Let Me Go by M. Romanek (2010)

☻

and of course no, I'm not buying that. In fact, luckily enough it came out for free from the torrent, but then again, did I actually deserve this saving, too? Everything seems to work well, with kids speaking real English in an intense scholastic atmosphere, until you start to realize what is all about; then it's just a question of time. And patience. Mr. Adam Kimmel's photography is fine:

while the cast isn't:

at all. Even though this time Carey Mulligan speaks a Jolly Good British English, that little sorrow idle mouse face of her isn't any less unpleasant than those of her colleagues on the set, the gonzo-looking Andrew Garfield, and the creepy Hatshepsut lookalike -or obese mummy- Keira Knightley. 

The author of the novel, a Kazuo Ishiguro, wrote the original screenplay of The saddest song in the world (see); I'd like to say he's better at making people laugh... But laughters is kind of a personal matter.

There was just only one single good surprise for the blogger in this flick:

and yet is the same I could get by watching at the window.
Final judgement: d'oh!

BTW, if you're looking for some fresh human organs let me know, I'm sure we could make a great deal... Bloggers just need their head, and one arm only.
