One could argue that Curaon was pandering to male moviegoers' discomfort with the idea of impotent sperm, but I actually found his argument compelling--that female infertility somehow felt more globally hopeless, and fit with his dystopian vision. And there was no gender blame in the movie. So it worked for me. Question: is the book more compelling than "Never Let Me Go?" (Which to me was just like "Remains Of the Day" with organ donation.)Lisahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17342456894536881818noreply@blogger.com
