★

A set of six nested stories spanning time between the 19th century and a distant post-apocalyptic future. Cloud Atlas explores how the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another throughout the past, the present and the future. Action, mystery and romance weave through the story as one soul is shaped from a killer into a hero and a single act of kindness ripples across centuries to inspire a revolution in the distant future. Based on the award winning novel by David Mitchell. Directed by Tom Tykwer and the Wachowskis.

Directed by Lilly Wachowski and Lana Wachowski and Tom Tykwer

Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others, past and present, and by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future> I believe there is another world waiting for us... a better world. and i'll be waiting for you there

Fuck this drags but the wachowskis understand the human condition to such an infuriatingly captivating degree

Also jess put on a greek version of this and i was happy to just assume all the subtitle and title cards being in greek was a creative decision on the directors parts (neither an insult or compliment its like a choose your own adventure book its up 2 u)

THIS WAS CONSIDERED OSCAR BAIT?!

This movie has had a bit of a popularity surge on YouTube Shorts, and I decided to check it out and ended up really liking it. The three hour runtime just blew by for me, and I really found myself enjoying seeing all the actors have to do these different roles throughout. I won't say it's perfect and I'm not going to defend the yellowface usage, but honestly I just really liked this one overall.
