The amount of time he spoke with Tom Hanks character at the bottom of the stairs was the amount of time needed to save him. Small interactions often change the course of our lives more than we realize. 20 seconds to change our lives. Energy building that the hands of destiny cannot change like an avalanche once it's broken way and set on a course. Sixsmith had work left to do for his soul mission (to meet and deliver value info to Louisa) and Frobisher had completed his life's work. If twin souls get separated early on like with the ending scene of the movie....life eventually has them reconnect.
Every. Time. I watch . This. I bawl and bawl and bawl. This is the purest scene of the closest interpretation, of what it truly is, to lose the love of my life.
This gets me every time, it just breaks me in a good way that there is something worth living for, living with depression for so many years. I know the feeling and it hurts knowing that is your only escape.
I just don't think it works. I think if you do that, you just have to come and deal with the same shit again until you work through it. I've seen too much strange stuff in my life to ever believe that death is the end ever again.
Frobisher's episode was the saddest and most beautiful love story I've ever known. Years later, I still watch this episode over and over again. I wish they made a full size movie just for this episode.
My mother who had planned suicide rather than go to a nursing home nodded with a knowing smile while watching this with her, she took her own life within the week.
My sincere condolences. I hope something gives you comfort, at least this movie and how you can continue with her drop in the ocean. It reassured me, at least, that my father's existence, who died more than 20 years ago when I was little, was that one drop and that he continues on existing in some way no matter how he's physically gone a long time ago already. It's not always that bittersweet, it can still get quite bitter, but what you can do. Only find a thread to be able to go on despite all the ugliness of life.
i have been always thinking that "we do not stay dead long" part. that exact thought ! i when i saw the movie i was surprised somone believes/thinks that too.(writer of the book) somehow i still believe that.
Most suicides don't leave an orchestral composition of creative magnificence in their wake but only disharmony and doom, perhaps it is the same thing in the end...
Sadly, given the way the characters reincarnated later on (Rufus being reborn as Nurse James from the retirement home, and the Archivist in Sonmi-451's time; Robert being reborn as the Store Clerk who showed Louisa Rey the Cloud Atlas vinyl, and much later as Georgette Cavendish), I doubt Rufus and Robert were ever a couple again in another lifetime. Thus making Robert's promise of meeting again in a better world an empty one that never came to be. That is unless the book or some tie-in material provides evidence of Georgette's reincarnation fell in love with Nurse James' reincarnation at some point (or that Georgette married Nurse James after Georgette's elderly husband passed away).
I used to think the same, but after re-watching multiple times, I find it intriguing how Robert and Sixsmith's story is usually paralleled/accompanied by Zachry and Meronym's story. Like in here, when he writes "I believe there is a better world for us", the scene shows Zachry and Meronym together. In another key scene, "all bounderies are convention", it also shows Sixsmith visiting Robert in his dream; while Zachry watching Meronym sleeping. So, although very vague and indirect, I still would like to think that Robert's soul reincarnated into Zachry and Sixsmith's into Meronym.
In the book the six main characters (with the comet birthmark) are the same soul. In the movie, the actor represents a soul. So basically Frobisher meets Sixsmith again in the 1970s as Luisa Rey. In the book, Sixsmith even tells Luisa that he feels that he has known her for a lifetime, because she was Frobisher in her past life. So beautiful.
@@longasau That is very far fetched. But considering how the movie depicts multiple soul journeys, sometimes the split of souls (for example: Doona Bae in the 1970s played two characters: Megans Mom and Mexican Woman), this theory is possible but very unlikely.
I think the concept is not so one-to-one as that. The experience of the individual resonates within the collective, so a loss or tragedy impacts everyone, and can only be "righted" through human connection, understanding, and love. Robert and Sixsmith's energy is disconnected by this tragedy, but finds itself reconnected again later in time, through different forms (possibly Zachry and Meronym). So even as Sixsmith and Robert could never be together in their own lifetimes, their love eventually found each other. But fragments of themselves continued throughout existence, turning up in different stories, impacting others directly and indirectly, and shambling through until they could get it right.
Not literally, my brother went to his favorite place and drank and smoke right before he ended his time here on earth, so yes this paints that picture that I didn’t notice till after his death and on a drunken evening
Its a beautiful movie that you understand more and more each time you watch it. This scene though puzzles me from a purely artistic perspective. Did Ben Whishaw get passed out drunk to look that dead or did they use some other drug to achieve it. I'm not suggesting anything illegal. Knowing how difficult it is to go so completely limp like that while consciousness, I'm curious how they pulled it off?
Princess Mononoke depression, knowing he’d go to prison for life...feeling that he’ll never accomplish anything as beautiful as the cloud atlas sextet but knowing his soul will forever be bound to the man he loves
you have no soul. i pity you. actually, i don't, you're not worth the emotional effort. maybe give up the gaming and get out into the real world for a bit, long enough for your mum to change your bedding, and see real people, experience real things, tastes, smells, see what love looks like.
His face when he is saying" watch the last sunrise, enjoying my last cigarette" breaks my heart.
Robert frobisher's monologue in the scene brings me to tears every time. No matter how many times I hear it
This suicide is like the saddest scene I ever watched. Even after years I still think run faster, save him!!! 😭😭😭
Same😢

This movie, film, a moving oil painting.... changed my life. Felt funny in the chest.
The most spiritual film ever produced
the ''embrace the serpent 2015'' is near by.
A beautiful love story with a bitter sweet ending.
Have you seen the movie?
Luis Miguel yep, and read the book.
I think I missed the sweet part
Theres nothing sweet about this. Its gut wrenching
sweet...

Just came across your comment and hope you’re doing alright!

I read the book...I knew it was going to happen but to actually see it was just purely devastating and I cried manly tears
That book is brilliant.
One of the most profound scenes i have witnessed. So well done. Touches me.
Frobisher's episode was the saddest and most beautiful love story I've ever known.

My condolences to you and yours. May she rest in peace.
The last one was definitely the saddest one.

This scene hurts omg
Красивый фильм. Буду несомненно пересматривать снова и снова.
No… simplemente no es el camino.. duele pero estamos aquí.
Wish he never did it but in the film
As he did do it was such a deep thought provoking scene the love the passion the pain
This scene HURTS me.
I believe there is another world waiting for us.. ❤

The movie does end with the characters essentially having attained an enlightened state, finally figuring it all out. That's the fundamental message.
Ovaj film će izgledati do kraja 30% ljudi, razumjeti i voljeti možda 10% od tih 30%.........
Uploaded 2013 and all the comments are a year or less old, I wonder what started bringing people here
@John Gilliam Okay I really like this response ♥️
@John Gilliam Hahaha I appreciate the pun :)
I believe a fanfic called in another life by littleluxray have bring a lot of people here through the movie
@@izzairis7705 I haven't head of that one ! I'll check it out !!
My last cigarret... picture in Attachment....
True love
People want to live forever...
This is so deep and authentic!, I am willing to bet suicide is like this.
It's not.
It's worse.
Not literally, my brother went to his favorite place and drank and smoke right before he ended his time here on earth, so yes this paints that picture that I didn’t notice till after his death and on a drunken evening
Yea don't romanticize suicide
Sorry about your brother
The way to go
Its a beautiful movie that you understand more and more each time you watch it.
This scene though puzzles me from a purely artistic perspective.
Did Ben Whishaw get passed out drunk to look that dead or did they use some other drug to achieve it.
I'm not suggesting anything illegal.
Knowing how difficult it is to go so completely limp like that while consciousness, I'm curious how they pulled it off?
When Robert took his life, Sixsmith died that day too but it didn't happen until 1976.
How are you going from Michael Gordon Bell 😊
left out the following timeline:

The suicide is for cowards, thats what i thought. Its not for the weak.

You have to read the book. It is a journey.
Bier ist leer BND
too little bleeding
Laugh track would be nice
Ok Robert Ok I C Him
Fool...
No one would do this over a mere decadent sort of lust
You're a fool
What do you mean by this?
you have no soul. i pity you.
actually, i don't, you're not worth the emotional effort. maybe give up the gaming and get out into the real world for a bit, long enough for your mum to change your bedding, and see real people, experience real things, tastes, smells, see what love looks like.
