Questions about "The Island"

Question 1.

I think that the main theme in this movie is about ”How much a human is worth?”. They talk about it from time to time. When Doctor Merrick talks with the black agent and the other people in the room, he shows the product and they start asking a lot of questions about the subject. I believe they are thinking about how the clones feel, if there is any better way instead of killing the clones. They don’t seem too happy about how they deal with the clones at the facility. Another interesting question that the movie brings up is ”What makes a human?”. Are the clones in the movie really humans? Do you have to be able to feel all emotions to be a human? The clones does not, for example, feel love or sexual attraction. Are they humans anyway? The film deals with the questions quite well. There are a few scenes in the movie where the real humans talk about the clones and it doesn’t really sound like they like the idea of cloning humans and then killing them for their bodyparts. For example when Lincoln Six Echo and Jordan Two Delta are at the engineer’s house. He tells them what is going on at the facility and that they are actually just clones. He seems upset, just like Lincoln and Jordan after they have heard the news.

Question 4. 

To be honest, I have no idea what Jordan means when she says ”The Island is real. It’s us” but I have some speculations though. The Island is like a dream of a paradise. When they are free from the facility, after they have rescued all the clones, they are in a way in a paradise, compared to where they were before that. Now they are free and can do whatever they like. Before they were captured and were forced to work. Everything they did was under control and regulated by the facility. Now when they are free, they are in a paradise, ”on The Island”.
