Novelist Joseph Shearing specialized in using real cases which took place in Victorian England, altering them for fictional purposes. MOSS ROSE in 1947 was the first film to be made from his novels, then in 1948 two of his works were adapted for the screen, this film and THE MARK OF CAIN. The movie stars Todd as a recently widowed missionary returning to her home in England from Jamaica. During the voyage, she meets Milland, a charming though dangerous rascal who is wanted by police in connection with some unsavory dealings. Milland contracts malaria while onboard the ship and Todd nurses him back to health. In London, Todd settles into her home, taking in boarders to make ends meet. Milland arrives, moves in, and proclaims his love for her. Todd is thrilled, but it seems rather obvious that Milland is only toying with her. Milland finds some letters written to her by her friend, Fitzgerald, in which Fitzgerald reveals some of her sexual indiscretions. Since Fitzgerald is now married to the wealthy Huntley, Milland believes he can use the letters to blackmail Fitzgerald. Todd's love for Milland is so great that she goes along with the plan. Huntley, however, learns of the scheme and also uncovers details of Milland's shady past. Fearing for her lover's safety, Todd poisons Huntley, then remains silent when Fitzgerald is arrested for the murder. Milland has by now genuinely fallen in love with Todd and the two make plans to leave England. Before they can depart, one of Milland's former lovers shows up and Todd, in a jealous rage, kills Milland, then turns herself into the police.
This is an intriguing film, although a little on the talky side. The performances are excellent throughout, with Milland shining as the cad, the type of role in which he excelled. Though he spent most of his time making films in the US, he occasionally returned to his native England for a production and this was his first British film since FRENCH WITHOUT TEARS in 1939. Director Allen was also an Englishman who chose to work in the US, this being his first directorial effort in his homeland. This was the fourth and last time Milland and Allen would work together, their pairing having begun in 1944 with the wonderfully eerie THE UNINVITED.
画面干净，强迫症的审美，主题深刻，犹如一场宁静的心灵洗涤宴
摄影好棒，配乐也很优秀。这些猜想终有一天会变成现实，有人接受不了，有人坦然面对一切。世事无常。只是在家庭成员的知情权上，是否有必要真正达成一致。
坠入爱河 生儿育女 家庭和睦 也有过嫌隙 在得知自己将死 选择以克隆体代替自己 完美的克隆体 记忆 性格 完美复制 从理论上来说 确实是个好的方案 但真正的自己却要接受命运的流放 终死于孤寂之地 本片气质、气氛都不错 也展示了未来的一种可能性 家庭细节也很好 但就是太得体了 太沉稳了 好像假的一样
生命因死亡的存在才产生价值和意义
这种文艺软科幻真的很难打动我了，Swan Song的典故是死前的绝唱，这部电影里是将爱、记忆托付给克隆人，期间也有不甘心，最后释然的过程不够好，克隆人代替人延续了感情，假戏成真。整体比同年的《杨之后》好一些。// 实不相瞒，六七年前我写过一个短篇去参加网易科幻小说比赛，得了个二等奖，里面的设定和这部电影一样，看的时候觉得好巧。更巧的是我在小说里写了“中华秋沙鸭”这种动物名，在这部电影里也出现了“冠顶秋沙鸭”的同种鸟类名。
《天鹅挽歌》，天鹅临死时的叫声是最凄美的。科幻的外壳包裹着一个普通人弥留之际的道德伦理困境，克隆范畴的哲学探讨并不罕见，于是导演冷不丁的倒灌了一碗鸡汤，用爱来解释一切。
作为99年高考的人马上想起了当年的作文题......
剧情往往都跟自己想的不一样，剧本很高级，拍好了，闻名于世，拍不好，臭名远扬，中规中矩，就无人知晓
可是完整的人生
看这部片子两个感觉：一个是感觉场景和道具很精致，苹果拍的片子果然很有苹果的调调；另一个是一边看一边不停地问自己，如果自己是男主会怎么选择……看完时，也坚定了自己的选择：当然是选择替身去守护自己的家人！我怎么会舍得让家人去承受丧失亲人的悲痛！
即使把家人托付给另外一个“自己”，内心也会一定觉得肯定是哪里出错了的难以释怀。
克隆人的思路和同样是Apple TV+出品的《基地》如出一辙，个人觉得本片被低估了
For you I could do anything. Look me in the eyes and tell me you love me. Always have. and Always will. Take care of them. 开车这种费神费力的事情，交给AI不是更好吗？如果我不在了，请照顾好TA们，另一个我。只要TA不知道的话。
题材不新鲜了，但 Ali 真的适合怼脸特写，他的高级丧脸真是所有文艺片通行证。
感觉像是淋了一场秋日的小雨，淡淡的惆怅和莫名的忧伤
影片的视觉调性冷静克制，后半段甚至有些blue，所有的装修及道具设计也是非常苹果风，大赞。而剧情来讲，核心点是 就算我要死了那么我要不要克隆一个我继续陪爱的人，当然要啊 即使穿帮了，她怎么会不懂你的用心？所以我有点不能理解片中男主的纠结。另，开篇巧克力，又甜又巧，人物也立住了，妙啊
中规中矩，主演发挥有点过头了。主要还是，故事太简单了！
看得有点悲痛，男主的种种情绪都能理解，而且深感同情，却又感到些少自私。自私是因为把所有的痛苦自己独自去面对，欺骗了自己的家人，毕竟就算是克隆人都只有一个个体，个体与个体之间哪怕做得一模一样，都不是同一个个体，同一个自己～
男主演得不错，但还是不太喜欢看他的脸。女主有点太完美，就好像夫妻生活中没有任何争吵。克隆体替你生存，帮你照顾家庭，或者克隆体，就是你。你死了，你的一部分还活着，所以你没有死。
好喜欢，平静的接受了命运的不公与自己将会失去曾经拥有过的一切。其实不是科技让人变得更好，而是人性中善良的那部分吧。
