cloud atlas daily!

Sixsmith,

Cloud Atlas is a pretty good film despite its not so good reputation (which is also a reason why I only watched it now and not back in 2012). What impressed me the most was how well it was edited. The movie simultaneously tells six stories from different time periods and genres, all connected through themes and characters. Normally I would have been annoyed with such frequent jumping from one scene to another and another, but instead of being jarring, Cloud Atlas achieved a nice feeling of fluidity. These jumps between stories are deliberate, not random, as if there’s a single thread going through space and time which we’re following. This is film editing master level.

I believe there is another world waiting for us. A better world. And I’ll be waiting for you there.

I just read about how the book Cloud Atlas is different from the movie Cloud Atlas and my hopeless romantic heart is breaking
