Sanchez, Jennifer Blog #5 "The Island" Paper #3

The island is about an underground society in 2016 that makes clones. They are made in pods when they grow they are put into a sector where they are fed and given a daily routine.The clones are told they were found after a contamination and that everything outside them is dead with no living organisms but yet the owners/workers find "survivers" being the clones developing in pods in a different section of their utopian society. Everyone there is told about a raffle thing, whoever wins gets to go to an island.  The two main characters Jordan two delta and lincoln six echo. Lincoln starts to question everything that is around him. So everytimes he gets a chance he lies to his "boss" and obtains a key that goes into a room where all the gas tanks are and utilites equipment of the society. Lincoln decides to go to another sector where he sees a pregnant clones give birth, is killed, and later given to the real person out in the real world; which he does not see the baby given to someone else. Right after he sees a man that had one the lottery to go to the island all wired up and screaming "I want to live" he knew something was definetly not right. Jordan had won the lottery and goes after her to escape. They escape, look for a man that worked in the utility section of the utpotian society. The man helps them escape to find their "real person" to tell them they have "feelings" and tell them what actually goes on in that underground society.

I've started to watch the movie again and I have not done any research on it. I don't know if the movie will work for this research paper.

  1. This movie sounds pretty interesting. I'm sure the psychoanalysis approach would work for this film because of the fact that these people are clones and only made to help their "real" selves out. You could analyze the fact they may not accept the fact they are real human beings, just beings made for the purpose of keeping others alive. Also, You more or or less could possibly analyze the main protagonists' psych as well.
