** Imagine the facade these workers may very well be like that simply because they've grown numb with the lie. Even if they convince themselves of 'what' these fabricants are, they cannot deny the innocent, almost childlike demeanor they have. And with the knowledge to each and every one... it's enough to sap what moral joy is left in you and could certainly explain the blank, almost dead look on their faces.

* The sad fate of one of Sonmi's Fabricant sisters, and [[spoiler: the truth behind Exultation]]. It's bad enough seeing just how excited she is to finally retire from her awful working life; what makes it even worse is that she clearly doesn't have the slightest inkling of what's about to happen. Up until the very end, that sweet guileless look never once leaves her face. [[spoiler: And then a slaughterhouse worker shoots her through the head with a bolt gun. As if to add insult to tragedy, the workers drop [[FauxAffablyEvil all pretences of friendliness]] and go about callously launching her body down the conveyer belt.]] Perhaps the saddest aspect of this scene is the music: by this stage, "Sonmi's Discovery" has left the loud, ominous orchestral stage behind, and continues in the form of a soft, mournful piano solo [[spoiler: as the Fabricant's eyes go dead and the work crew dispose of her.]]

[[WMG: From the book]]
* Frobisher visits a graveyard of soldiers hoping to lay flowers on his brother's grave, but can't find it. His letter attempts to keep up his cavalier tone, but he notes that he'd foolishly hoped he'd somehow just know which grave held him, wonders if his brother had liked men too, and remembers with resentment how their parents had said "You should be like your brother!" in increasingly poisonous ways. When the car he's in strikes a pheasant on the way back he's profoundly horrified by how it screams like a child, goes out of his way to give it a MercyKill, and is shaken up by the whole experience.
