Movie comes out "Do not leave," with Keira Knightley

If you plan on going to the movies this weekend, "Do not leave me" is not to be missed. The title would indicate that tell a love story, and indeed is the case, an ill-fated love, a love thwarted by external forces and condemned. So far, nothing particularly new. Moreover, there is an atmosphere and a performance by thriller.

Again, you say, not very original ... To mark the difference between this film and any other kind of "sentimental" or "yellowness" or erotic thriller, or any other combination you can think of is that the frame consists of a parallel world, in literature, is called "dystopian". Utopia anticipates a better future, a world in which we come to the overcoming of evil and corruption that plague the reality in which we live.

A dystopia tells us that ... could have been much worse. Hailsham is a strange school, where they grow and befriends three children: Kathy (the narrator, played by Carey Mulligan), Ruth (Keira Knightley) and Tommy (Andrew Garfield). The latter two fall in love, but can not live their love, because they are not destined to live.

Or rather, are part of a "reserve" of human beings created with the sole purpose of providing replacement organs to other humans ... privileged, people with a capital P, which are suffering from some disease and need a transplant. Cannon fodder, these are the children of Hailsham. The story is set in a parallel passage (from the '60s to '90s), of course, gives us a set of coordinates known but that, in these troubling implications, not developed.

But what could and could still ... this is the sense of history, a warning to us to help us understand the limits not to cross. Not surprisingly, the movie directed by Mark Romaneck (One Hour Photo, among others) has a noble literary origin. Prior to being a fierce and romantic films and scary (for the dark scenarios to various Nazi experiments and Dr.

Menghele), "Do not leave me" is a beautiful novel by Kazuo Ishiguro ("Remains of the Day"), British author of Japanese origin . To see and read. And meditation.
