    I never get tired of this movie.
    Without a doubt, my favourite.
    And that's quite an achievement actually since I never had an absolute favourite film until this.

    Oh my gosh the opening is sooo perfect, how did this film do badly? Why wasn't it properly advertised? Nobody I've spoken to has really heard of it. And the novel tho.

      It didn't do well because there is still a lot of Old Georgie out there. That fangy devil.

      Plenty of people would understand this film.
      Sitting there and letting it flow through, rather than squirming at the absence of vast fireballs and shrieking metal, noting the missing disjointed, imbecilic, 'cool' sound-bites.
      This film cuts between times and places, following meaning, ideas being thought of and lost, even the movement of souls forward in time, and ideas coming backward in time.
      'A film shouldn't be work' some say. Opening eyes and listening at the same time isn't work.
      The work has been done already, and still exists after it's been dismissed; discovering it now on streaming services would be such a mind-f for a generation of people bored by lies.

    The best scene in the film, in my opinion, although every scene from this film is powerful. Everything about the opening - the dialogue, the music, the scenery, the sheer immense scope - is intriguing and serves to set up the rest of the film perfectly.

      I couldn't agree more. This is by far the best movie made in the history of cinema.

    Although it varied from the book in many parts, I believe the initial message of Mitchell's got through and that is truly what matters.

    It's the very beginning of the movie; nothing's been re-arranged. As people say, you always know what 's gonna happen, it's *how* it happens which is interesting

    If only I knew this scene could tell the whole plot, I wouldn't have taken all that time re-watching it in order to understand. x)

      This scene comes nowhere near telling the whole plot, sorry.
      It's more like a teaser, to get your attention to that there are several stories all happing at once, due to how inspiration and such gets passed both forward and sometimes backward in time.
      - and this is not even close to the most significant detail. ;-)

      I know that is what makes it. It’s a story about the same souls and the same struggles rippling throughout all time. It’s so fitting that he says
      “Old Georgie hisself... I’ll yarn you about the first time we met eye to eye.” And then it immediately flashes to the ‘first’ in the series of stories.

    It's hardly a spoiler if the writer intends you to see it first. This is an overture, a thematic index, if you will.

      I think he's speaking to himslef. I know it looks like he's directly addressing someone, but he was writing a book on what happened to him. From the publishing ordeal to the nursing home. Then his book was made into a movie. So he was, you could say, gathering thoughts or writing.

    • @stevetheduck1425
      @stevetheduck1425 2 роки тому

      That part of the book is a book he wrote about the events of his 'terrible ordeal' afterwards.
      He is partly doing it because of the publishing success of Half-Lives: the First Luisa Rey Mystery (the story before his).
      The film of Timothy's book survives into the time of Sonmi~451.
      He's narrating his life; something that Sonmi~451 later does as well, using his example.
      It's why Meronym and Zachry both know about Sonmi~451 in a still later time.
      This is the stuff the film is made of.

    Question 1 what secret in Sixmiths report would be worth killing him for? Question 2 is it reason to believe that they would kill again to protect that secret? Question 3... what the fuck am I doing?
    YOU ARE PART OF THE BLOODLINE HONEY. You look like someone I knew back in the day just watching that car scene.

    Story of cloud atlas: A nucleur plant is reported unsafe so Luisa Rey goes on a tour of the plant to find out why it's unsafe. Unfortunately Luisa fails and the plant blows up leaving the remains of humans to live like natives. Soon they have to set of a help beacon and live on another planet fire Earth is now radiactive.

    • @stevetheduck1425

      Luisa Rey succeeds and prevents the faulty design being built.
      The later collapse of civilisation is due to the excesses of the last culture: Nea Son Copros after Sonmi~451's time, implied in the book to be a reconciliation of North and South Korea under a maximally Corporate society that releases rogue genetic clades into the world while creating a slave underclass / food source.
      Hawaii in the book (possibly the Chatham Islands in the movie) is one of the few places that has retained glimmers of civilisation.
