Connection Between Never Let Me Go and Chicken Run

The other day, I watched one of my favorite childhood movies, Chicken Run. I couldn't help but draw some connections between the movie and Never Let Me Go. In chicken Run, the chickens are trapped living in a coop, and have a set path for their life. The couple that owns the farm, Mrs. Tweedy and Mr. Tweedy use the chickens for their eggs, then once the chickens can't have any more eggs, they kill the chickens. Obviously, this can be compared to how the students are being used for their organs, then die once their is no use for them anymore. The students at Hailsham are portrayed in a very human like way, even though they are clones, just as the chickens seem like real people, even though the are actually chickens. Then, one day a rooster named Rocky comes in and tries to convince the chickens that their is a way that they can learn to fly, and escape their impending doom. This can be compared to the false hope that was given to the students with the deferrals. Just like the chickens realize eventually that they can't fly, Kathy and Tommy realize that the deferrals are not real. Their is a difference between the two though. At the end of Chicken Run, the chickens manage to somehow build a plane and fly over the fences of the farm and escape. Unfortunately, Kathy does not end up fighting for her freedom. The chickens never gave up, but Kathy did.
