Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
4. 吃巧克力那段，我也混淆了。
都可以克隆人的一切了，却没法治好一个癫痫，嘛呢！！科学家们能不能在延长寿命治疗癌症上多动动脑子啊！
一個不太出衆的克隆題材，但演員的表演和攝影調色讓整部影片的質感變得非常特別。（其實我以爲後面克隆體是不知道克隆這件事情的，感覺那樣更細思極恐，但畢竟不是驚悚片，最後也基本沒有什麽衝突，男主自己和解了
Apple流媒出品，俨然一副自家广告宣传片的样式，UI界面动画效果和家居装饰风格都透着浓浓的苹果未来软硬件产品的极简设计美感。陈旧科幻概念包装下的温软小品，电影既没有野心进行更深层次的伦理探讨，也无意走惊悚路线去设置反转玩阴谋论，回避了争议焦点，仅仅以爱为名做文章，中规中矩地讲述了一个关于生命与死亡、自私与无私的故事，用天鹅濒死前发出的凄美绝叫比喻癌症患者临终前为了延续爱做出的痛苦抉择，克隆体作为替代品可以完全复制本体的容貌与记忆，却无法真正转移灵魂深处的情感，这般高尚的爱未免太过自我感动。迷你短片的体量，靠拖拉的回忆和内心戏抻到了两小时，导演似乎还没有驾驭长片的能力，实际那点内容早已被抖音各大影视类营销号归纳总结了。在我看来同题材不如《Moon》好看，类似文艺调性也差《Her》太多。
Swan Song is an evocative sci-fi drama with more than an essence of Black Mirror about it. It makes you weep and think about certain aspects of life. Extremely well acted but I kept expecting a twist before the end that sadly never came.
还好没有反转，但是没有反转反而觉得少了点什么
这是最完美的替代？科技发展到那一天，居然能成功，是走错路了吧？！应是医学技术的进步，疾病的可救治。就情感戏来讲，完美的邂逅，完美的家庭，和谐的生活，深切的情感，不现实的完美，就像这不现实的完美克隆一样。
克隆技术可以复制肉体甚至记忆，但人类灵魂深处的东西却无法被替代，科幻的外衣下缓缓讲述着主题俗套内核却清新的爱情小品，阿里的表演扎实且细致入微。
是一个值得探讨的科幻点子没错，可是很多戏剧冲突源自不合理的剧情安排，这么一想就略出戏，影片渲染的情绪显得略矫情……另外感觉是不是有一批小时候喜欢看王家卫片子的老美长大当上导演了…
把自己拥有的一切拱手让人，哪怕那个人是另一个自己，也很难过吧。
这是我看过的所有关于克隆人题材电影里最具人情味的一部，没有之一。但是我依然对克隆人的事情持反对态度，和电影无关，纯伦理。电影的软科幻很“黑镜”，题材也是，全片节奏很稳，看起来很舒服，可惜是在讨论一个悲伤的话题。如果是我，死亡不算什么，让家人看着我死亡，何尝不是双方的解脱。以上。
都说诸如克隆人之类的黑科技是双刃剑，但其实，是否“黑”，完全取决于人类怎么使用它们。对于《天鹅挽歌》中描绘的克隆技术，我能想象出数不胜数的反面恶果，但仅仅就影片中展现的、其运用在生活中人性关怀的一面，我们就不能完全去否定它。
虽然就是一个高概念小品，而且某种程度上还和机械姬很相似，但是几个主演给剧作增色很多。特别是Ali的两个角色，非常有信服力，微表情太牛了，不愧是影帝。
怎么说呢，克隆一个健康的自己替自己活下去并陪伴亲人，脑洞实在是可以。不过都能删除增加记忆了，这世界之大，可供操作的地方之多，估计也就富人能够真正享受到对应福利，而穷人们指不定哪天就被改了记忆，不再像曾经的自己。而且本意也许是好的，但是却也改变了正常的生存伦理，后患无穷
聚焦於很小的切口上去展示這頗具顛覆性的設想，不置入太多的批判，只是讓兩個他去互相感知對方。男主內心的糾結與傷感，仿生人害怕被淘汰的恐慌，整個作品的命題，我們活著是為了他人還是自己？ 太棒了。
评论里一片哭唧唧…我倒觉得没什么，其实对方爱着的，就是那个“你”呀…只不过“你”换了一个容器罢了。PS：平时一直觉得这个演员有点装。这次终于选对剧本了
——2022.4.1 愚人节
小清新文艺科幻 没有侧重于伦理/认知/被替代这些冲突性的角度 而是从情感上描绘 男主从愤怒到不甘到接受 最后的最后看着爱人对自己（的克隆体）说 i will love you always 释然放手 || 我觉得太悲伤了 T_T 个体明明都消亡了你爱的人和爱你的人却不知道 - 没有人会怀念你纪念你追悼你想着你流泪 他们只会和另一个你创造你无法参与的新的回忆。自私的我肯定不会做出男主的选择。
一个人运用科技手段悄无声息地完成了与妻儿的单方面告别。当科学发展到一定程度，当克隆人体不再是个难题，剩下的就只有应用中的伦理问题。一个命不久矣的男人在妻儿不知情的情况下与医学实验室签署了复杂的协议，克隆自身，然后把记忆与潜意识上传给克隆体，并在一周适应期后抹去克隆体被克隆的记忆，令其永远不知自己是克隆人的真相，全情投入本不属于他的角色。而另一边，彻底放弃了身份的病躯甘愿在与世隔绝之地拥抱自己的宿命。但要在正本与副本之间实现毫无痕迹的切换并非易事，皆因人非草木，取决于爱与占有如何博弈。要让自己所爱的人永远都不要经历失去之痛，只有真爱能让这一切成真。非常好的题材。
黑镜既视感。摄影，剪辑，光影，设计，都太对我胃口了。
