Ambiguous Disorder has been renamed to Diagnosed By The Audience and now belongs in YMMV. In Universe examples don't belong.


All six main actors, as well as a supporting cast list comprised of Creator/HugoWeaving, Creator/JamesDArcy, Creator/SusanSarandon, Creator/DavidGyasi, Creator/KeithDavid, and Creator/HughGrant, appear in [[ActingForTwo multiple roles]] across the timeline. Instead of being sequential, the film continually leaps back and forth between stories.

* {{Deconstruction}}: Of a large number of tropes (see the entire page), maybe even storytelling itself, using [[CrossThrough Cross Throughs]] and ActingForTwo to demonstrate the presence of the same tropes in six rather different stories.

Cloning Blues renamed to Clone Angst as per TRS, specifically about angst from a character discovering that they're a clone.


* CloningBlues: Various types of fabricants are mass-produced to perform all sorts of tasks in Sonmi's era. As a result, human society has become dependant on the fabricants never questioning their lot in life. Indeed, fabricants are created specifically to be incapable of questioning their lot. How and why Sonmi (and her predecessor and friend Yoona) are different is an important plot point.
