Sonmi's story arc was the best and most touching


And its also the most relevant, this is what governments all over the world today are like.

She was the key holding the whole story together and IMO has the best quotes as well. In particular her 'truth has no versions' scene was really memorable.

She is a "Jesus" recurring in a future time...born of a virgin...gave her sermon on the mount and was executed...but lived on to give hope and redemption

That's interesting, because Sonmi's story was absolutely butchered from the book, cutting out a lot of character development and the enormous plot twist that changes the entire story (my favorite part of the book).

I have never read the book but was intrigued in watching this film.

There is so much to take in, so am more than likely to watch this movie a couple of more times. As I am sure I have missed so many key elements which ripple through.
Silly question, should I read the book first and then watch the film again or the other way round?
