I know, I said I won´t have time for internet things but it turns out, I have the laptop all evening :)
Do you remember The Island? I think I watched about half of it and found it vaguely interesting, and otherwise pretty standard plastic Hollywood fare. I must say, that I didn´t feel overly compassionate toward any of the characters.
Today, I watched Never Let Me Go. While both films share a similar basic plot idea, this one is frighteningly realistic and so quiet and gentle at times that the cruelty of it eats right into your heart.
I cried right through the last 20 minutes of it or so and could not get a hold of myself for about an hour afterward.
As far as I remember, I added 'Never Let Me Go' to my list on a whim because Lovefilm (like netflix) told me that my list was running a bit low. We had a few boring/horrible lately films and didn´t expect much of this one. I must say, I am ever so glad I added it.
It might sound very strange, but I decided to get an organ donour ID now.
