Would you be mine


Hello again friends ( or rather none)

STRESSED
it never fricken ends.... I dunno if it's cos this is 3rd yr or what but good gawd 3 grp projects?
really??

Whatever Keeps them more occupied I guess

Watched Never let me go this weekend

Depressingly beautiful stuff.... a poignant tale of love, loss, friendship, betrayal, and a haunting desinty that awaits them.
It is one of those OMG kind of books that makes my favourites list. Written in such a calm, quiet, serene way, but beautifully tragic.
I mean I know this book is purely fiction but it seems so believable one gets so emotionally cut up in this tale, you either watch the movie/ read the book feeling as though somewhere you know has died. It is heavy material.
It's science fictiony but disguised well. Think the Island ( minus the cliched hollywood blockbusterness) but set in a british boarding school mixed with the britishness stiffness/ setting of Atonement.
I think it is because the characters feel so real, you can sense thier raw emotion, their vulnerbility and their humanity. The words clones are never used, in fact you don't think them as anything other than ordinarily human and capable of feeling love just like everyone else . You notice that they don't seem to fight their fate, but merely accept their circumstances whilst silently fighting back tears. Actually the reader/ viewers are the ones fighting back tears!
Its the silent acceptance of their fate, that is so heart-wrenching. You feel such a deep wonton sense of injustice for them, as if this were real! but you have to remind yourself it's just great writing and fantastic acting.
This is one movie that lives up to the book in my opinion.
Two words, Beautifully tragic
leaves you gutted but in awe.
