This is one of the best movies I have ever watched. I simply can not believe that anyone who fully understood it would think it was boring.

Compassion between the two Sams was the main idea, against the brutal reality of killers who saw the clone ‘race’ as totally expendable. This has happened many times in the history of humanity so its simply a near-future projection of an old construct.

The newer sam leaving the sick one behind was most poignant, as was the dying Sam watching the other’s shuttle escape across the lunar sky.

What scares me about this movie is that Lunar Industries was actually doing the best they could do. They were using disposable clones because they could not use people. Clones died after three years due to radiation exposure, so it was a deadly work, and someone had to do it so we could get clean energy and save the Earth from imminent destruction. Was it right? I do not think so. Was the alternative better? Expose workers to radiation? Not at all. The key here is the way people look at clones. As they are copies of a person, they are not real people. We have been faced with the same subject in several movies, and all have come to the same conclusion: they are copies, but they are all individuals with their differences and feelings. What would you do if you were Lunar Industries, and machines cannot do it all by themselves and they need people there? The terrifying thought is probably I would do the same thing…

Actually the response to your question is in the movie. By the very end you can hear in the news “Clone 6″. The clone who traveled to Earth and unveiled what was happening on the moon was clone 6. According to the records Sam 5 found, all the previous Sams were killed, but the numbers just give 4 Sams (15-3=12/3=4), so I think Sam 1 (the original) was never in the moon. He could not have been there. If you notice the signs Sam 5 showed were all signs of dead by radiation exposure. They knew the clones were going to die because of that. And they knew how long it was going to take. Sam 1 was part of the project, but he was never exposed to radiation. So they only killed 3 Sams (Sam 2, Sam 3 & Sam 4) before the one we knew, Sam 5. But we can always check in the movie, because there is the scene were Sam 5 watched how the previous Sams were killed. You can always count how many to see if the numbers match. I do think the first one was on Earth and was the one Eve called “dad” when talking over the phone with Sam 5.

You couldn’t see a point?..You didn’t get it?…I’ve watched “Moon” about a dozen times now. First thing on getting “it” is CLONING….If we venture into cloning we should keep this in mind..They are HUMAN….
Gerty, surprisingly, because Gerty sounded like HAL, was a real surprise when he typed in the password for the dying Sam Bell.
Also…think to yourself of the emotional overload Sam Bell had finding out for a fact he was a clone when he called “home” to Tess.
All those photo’s, messages, and “memories”.
The understanding between the two Sam Bells slowly gelling was awesome. Heartbreaking too.

If you listened , at the end, you would have heard Earth was still the same as WE remembered it..Like Gerty said: “I hope Earth is all you remember it to be Sam”. I don’t think Sam Bell had any memories of earth. Just family memories and company related. But when the 2nd Sam Bell reaches Earth what do we hear? The usual avoidance and ignorance which abounds here..Watch, again, and listen to what “Sam Bell” finds on Earth on his return.

Sounds about right. When they were in the secret clone room 7 of the drawers had red lights and all the rest were white. If we assume the red ones are the empty ones then we have the original Sam + 4 other Sams + the two current Sams = 7.
