I'm confident that this had to be made...

...but in execution, it could have been a LOT better. It's one of those movies where the whole plot depends on science, but the science itself is wholly unimportant, so thankfully they elected to leave it out. Lucky too, as they would have botched it utterly. It's possible to enjoy this movie, watch out though, because it is dark. So very dark. In fact, both morally and ethically, this is a hot poker to the groin.Also, if i misinterpreted this movie completely and it's actually a movie about how we trust white middle-aged men with a higher education too much, and forgive them too easily when they betray said trust - well, then i'm sorry. Contact me in this case - i will change the score to 10/10.

A Satirical take on the conundrum of the ethics of human cloning

A dark and satirical movie clearly in the sci-fi genre which explores the ethics and horrific fallouts of human cloning. Don't let its genre classification of a rom com mislead you into watching it for one. It's certainly not for the faint of heart and can only at best be a disturbing sci-fi satirical comedy . All the ethical issues of human cloning are very deftly explored and the justification for it being the dark human desire for immortality of loved ones at any cost. The protagonist descends into a horrifying caricature of himself as he loses all sense of reality and with Hades like power drags his Persephone into a cloneal hellfire as he tries to claw back his lost love . It's without doubt a largely thought provoking and chilling film. Some of the questions the viewer could be left grappling with: -Why would a clone be treated with such unkindness and why the total disregard to sanctity of human life purely because of mode of creation? -A clone is not very different from a monozygotic twin and is as much an individual as a person born of biological reproduction. Yet why were they all treated with such cruelty? -how far would research be willing to go in the name of human cloning and bring untold suffering to clones in the same vein as slavery where slaves were considered an inferior human species. Not to mention the pitiable & bizarre results of experiments on human clones. Why does the protagonist swiftly turn so controlling and evilly selfish all in the name of love and yet never blink an eyelid in violently discarding each human clone version that shows individuality and refuses to love him like the original he yearns to resurrect from the dead? And all done in a cloak of dodgy respectability.At the heart of cloning is the genetic match but beyond that lies all the human experiences that are unique in wiring each human brain into a special individual that is as different from the original as are twins, but more so as they are born in different time periods.Without doubt this film satirically explores the dark and disturbing ramifications of science overstepping its boundaries as well as the ethics & dangers of serving the darkest of human desires. All with insouciance and purposeful irreverence. And a lot of the shadow side that lurks in all of us that can veer crazily out of reality to exploit the lives of others just for resurrecting our lives back to what it was. Surreal sci-fiction.
