Very profound

"Cloud Atlas" is a commercial film with profound political metaphors and the theme of oppression and resistance (or "liberation"). Ignoring this central idea, it is inevitable to not know the true face of Lushan Mountain. In the ideological lineage, the Wachowski brothers and sisters are talented directors with strong European and American left (different from the left in developing countries), liberalism, and populism. The disintegration of human subjectivity and the resulting sense of fear hovered in the hearts of literary and art workers, allowing them to develop various film and television works that exaggerated the fear of "alienation". This is another work by Sister Chovosky. The masterpiece with the theme of "oppression and resistance", the plot is sufficient, very good

    The most disappointing movie of the year, the gorgeous bad movie should make Zhou Xun the heroine.

    Wachowski's three-hour "Cloud Atlas" is an unprecedented epic, leaving a shock in my mind after reading it. I have never seen a movie that narrates the six completely different stories from the 19th century to the post-apocalyptic era so smoothly, each with its own profound meaning. Personally, I especially like the part of New Seoul in 2144. The visual effects have constructed a consumerist Eastern dystopia to make people jaw-dropping.

  • [first lines]

    Zachry: [shivering beside the fire] Oh, lonesome night. And babbits bawling, the wind biting the bone. Wind like this... full of voices. Ancestry howling at you, yibbering stories, all voices tied up into one. One voice differing. One voice, whispering out there, spying from the dark. The fangy devil, Old Georgie hisself. Mm. Now your ear up close, and I'll yarn you about the first time we met, eye to eye.

  • An-kor Apis: You, my dear, are proof our efforts were not in vain.

    Sonmi-451: But I'm just a dinery server. I was not genomed to alter reality.

    An-kor Apis: No revolutionary ever was.
