The Island
In the year 2019, the world is contaminated. Thousands of ‘people’ are led to believe that they live in an isolatet building, which contains noncontaimed survivers. What they do not know is that they are clones; created to be harvestet for their bodyparts and that there is no contamination what so ever. Because they have been manipulated, the only thing that they strive for is to win the lottery, meaning to be chosen to go to The Island – the only uncontamined place left on the planet, the place which gives them hope and a purpose in their lives. The lottery is only an excuse to get the clones to leave their safe surroundings willingly, without them knowing anything about their destiny and to avoid any suspicion. Their sponsors – the people who pay a lot of money to be cloned are not aware of what is actually going on. They have been told that the clones are maintained in a persistent vegetative state, that they never achieve consciousness. The clones are participants in a huge unethical project, which the rest of the world is oblivious to and the man who runs the company, Dr. Merrick is the one behind the fraud. 
The building the clones live in is portraied as a very cold and sterile enviroment. Every room is bright and white. The white color is a consistens feature and the residents are all wearing identical white outfits. 
Everything from moodswings to a little change in sleeppatterns are automaticly recorded, sexual behavior is non-existent, because the clones are not created with the common sexual instict. Every day is the same routine and every single thing in their daily life is planned and organized down to the smallest detail. Their uniforms are folded perfectly and laid out every morning for them to put on, everybody has their own ‘job’ – asignment to take care of and their diets are carefully prepared to fit their body and health. Lincoln Six Echo, one of the inhabitants, starts to question the purpose of it all. One morning he wants bacon for breakfast but instead he is served oatmeal. He starts asking questions about the food patterns; "Why is Tuesday night always tofu night?" What is tofu? Why can't I have bacon? Why is everything white?" and after a while he begins to wonder if there is “more than just waiting to go to the island”. 
Lincoln’s theory is confirmed when he finds a bug flying around in a workshop. During all the time he has lived at the facility, he has been told that there are no living things outside the building. When Lincoln finds this bug, he realizes that it must have come from the outside and that they have been lied to, which means that there is life on the outside. This is the point of no return in the movie. We need an explanation. 
Lincoln is not one hundred percent sure of his theory, therefore he starts exploring the different levels of the building. He manages to reach the medical part of the bulding and discovers that two of the clones who had won the lottery, actually were killed.
Lincoln shares his new knowledge with his friend Jordan Two Delta and convinces her to escape from the institute with him. When they have escaped, they seek out James McCord, a worker at the institute and a good friend of Lincoln. He explains to them, that they are clones. He helps them out and sends them out in the world to find their sponsors and hopefully take down the operation. 
Lincoln and Jordan’s relationship evolves in the scene when they start kissing passionately in Lincoln´s sponsers home; “oh that tongue thing is amazing!” “I know open your mouth again” And then Lincoln asks; “How come we never did this before?” They have never tried anything resembling this warm feeling before, because they were not created with that instinct or even the ability to love. 
Dr. Merrick is the founder of the company. He feels that he has taken on the role of god. “I have discovered the Holy Grail of science. I give life. The agnates, they're simply tools, instruments. They have no souls. The possibilities are endless here. In two years' time, I will be able to cure children's leukemia. How many people on Earth can say that?” He uses the term “I” as if he is the only person on earth who has the ability to make that miracle happen. He has taken the liberty of comparing himself to god, because of all the good he feels he is doing. 
While Lincoln and Jordan are planning to free the rest of the clones from the compound, Merrick plans to get rid of the rest of the clones by killing them in gas chambers, which is a reference to world war two, where the German Nazis gassed and killed the Jews. “I brought you into this world... and I can take you out of it.” Dr. Merrick does not think of the clones as human beings, he feels that he controls the residents and that he can do with them, whatever he chooses. The society resembles a new, more modern concentration camp.
Jorden Two delta walks by a Calvin Klein ad on the street, and sees her sponsor, whom looks exactly like herself, as the actress in the commercial. In the commercial her sponsor is kissing a man and Jordan lets her finger glide over her own lip. This part is an important scene in the movie because at this point, she realizes that her “whole life” has been a lie and that she never truly existed in the real world.
A big discussion can be raised about this film, because it concerns the issue – is human cloning immoral? There are many aspects on the subject, but in this particular movie, human cloning is portrayed in a negative way, because of the way the Merrick Company is shown – coldhearted, merciless people, who care more about money and recognition, than actually helping people.
