The Island- note, if you have not seen The Island do not read. The movie will be ruined for you.

This movie depicts a battle that is not too different than some of the moral battles we are fighting today. It is a matter of life and death of humans cloning. In this future time period rich people buy increased life span. They buy clones of themselves and use there body parts. The fact that the clones are living people under an old abandoned army base is kept a secret. So these clones are kept in ignorance about the outside world. They are told that the earth has been contaminated and that they were the only survivors. Their purpose is to populate an Island, the only uncontaminated place left in the world. When certain clones are selected to go to the Island they are killed for their body parts. The greatness of the movie comes from the great characters that show reality in their actions, the innate goodness of those who have not been contaminated from the outside world.

It is very symbolic. The clones who are kept isolated from the world and kept in ignorance to money and other desires of men show an innate goodness, like innocent children . The people outside however are contaminated with money and selfish wants. It is interesting how our society is based on money and individual desires and not so much morals anymore. The movie brings that to view in a sad way showing what so many people will do for money and for their selfish self. But in the end, it shows people who see the clones goodness and become better because of it.
