Close Reading of Film Stills in "The Island"

Figure 1: Film Still from THE ISLAND

The first film still from The Island is of clone Lincoln meeting the real Lincoln. When watching the film it was a good scene where the real Lincoln was shocked to find out bout the clone escaping and finding him. in this scene they are siting face to face and you can see that clone Lincoln is happy to find his original while the original Lincoln is just astonished and curious to find out more about his clone.



Figure 3: Film Still from THE ISLAND

The second film still I chose from The Island is of the scene where it is revealed how clones are made and stored. Unlike premature babies in the womb, the clones are fully grown in a blue liquid being fed and nurtured. Embryos are small, cute and very delicate and when watching the movie I saw the the was the opposite. These were fully grown human clones that are being downloaded with what they should know. The film still shows this with the embryotic sac type of storage and blue build and shadows  of the clones in really weird and unnatural positions.
