Brae reviewed the film 'Never Let me Go' in relation to some of the Society and Culture Concepts:
Time - Only a certain amount of time to live.
Power - The medical breakthrough that occurred changed lives for
younger people, however elder people got an advantage.
Authority - People are under
constant watch.The film begins with onscreen captions explaining that a medical breakthrough in 1952 has permitted the human lifespan to be extended beyond 100 years.
The first section of the film depicts the young Kathy, along with her friends Tommy and Ruth, spending their childhood at Hailsham, a seemingly idyllic English boarding school.
It is revealed that the film is set in an alternate twentieth century. One of the teachers is fired after telling the pupils of their fate: they exist to provide donor organs for transplants. They will be nurtured to adult age at which time they will be available for "selection."
