miss lucy's character was fine. a plot device, someone to tell the kids what's going on. i would have liked to maybe see some behind-the-scenes debate between her and another adult, most likely miss emily, about why we don't tell these kids what's going on. it doesn't have to reveal the mystery, you can still save that for the classroom scene with the kids. but for a film about a number of what would be very controversial subjects (cloning, organ harvesting, human lab rats, concentration camps, etc.), there was very little discussion of ethics. for the most part, everyone just accepted things as they were. i want to know what the dissenters to this system, like miss lucy, really think.
