The problem with this film is total lack of hope. Though the early scenes ( of fresh faced extraordinarily polite youngsters in tailored gray sweaters & pinafores) were a delight to see, and made me want to rush to the nearest overly -priced Bergdorf -Goodman department store, the story begins its never-ending tumble into total despair. Unlike a novel, in which the author can capture some hopeful passions if he is to redeem his work and acquire readers, a movie should show some future hope for @ least one character in order not to drag the audience into utter despair & really come across as a bad film. If the director must veer from the novel, he should. I understand the premise - this was a film based on the Japanese idea of heroism in the acceptance of one's fate. But, the problem with that premise in this film is that none of the characters are truly heroic. We see no triumph of - or - fight in the human (albeit cloned) spirit. All characters are merely a bunch of lab rats who apathetically accept their fate in despair. I would NOT reccommend this film to anyone, except my in-laws (and the last salesgirl who was very nasty to me - LOL!!)
No, I do not recommend this movie.
