- Tom Tykway and Wachowski wrote the script for the film and co-directed the film. Therefore, this is a rare feature film that is a collection of non-short films completed by three directors and sub-signed by three directors in the history of film.
- All actors have more than one role in the final version of the film, and these roles span time, race, and even gender. In the limited shooting time, it is quite difficult for actors to switch between different roles, which is a huge challenge for them. Halle Berry said that she will play different roles under different directors within a week. Her roles are: a Jew in the 1930s, an old woman from a tribe, and an environmentalist in the 1970s.
- The filming process is divided into two parts, one is Tom Tykway's "crew", and the other is directed by the Wachowski brothers and sisters. The two crews do not interfere with each other, and do not share any crew members except for the actors.
- During the filming, Tom Hanks began to call the Wachowski brothers and sisters "Mom and Dad" because the group of people worked closely together.
- This is the first time Larry Wachowski has been filming with Andy Wachowski as Lana Wachowski after being transgender.
- David Mitchell, the author of the film's original novel, has a cameo role as a spy in the film.
- James McAvoy and Ian McLean, these two British actors were originally prepared to play roles in the film, but unfortunately they failed to do so.

I haven't read the original work. The movie feels that the plot is intricate, but the filming is very empty. To be honest, the plot of most of the story is very weak, and I don't see the connection between the same actor and different roles except for a few memories/props. Also, I fucking hate the fact that actors in my own country can only play tricks in Hollywood movies. Favorite story: Feiyue Nursing Home; Most Surprising Reverse: Little Ben; Most Beautiful Woman: 66-year-old Susan Sarandon

Robert Frobisher: Finished in a frenzy that reminded me of our last night in Cambridge. Watched my final sunrise. Enjoyed a last cigarette. Didn't think the view could be any more perfect until I saw that beat-up trilby. Honestly, Sixsmith, as ridiculous as that thing makes you look, I don't believe I've ever seen anything more beautiful. Watched you for as long as I dared. I don't believe it was a fluke that I saw you first. I believe there is another world waiting for us, Sixsmith. A better world, and I'll be waiting for you there. I believe we do not stay dead long. Find me beneath the Corsican stars, where we first kissed. Yours eternally, R.F.

Luisa Rey: I... called about an old recording, written by a man named Robert Frobisher.
Store Clerk: Oops, busted. I know I shouldn't be playing it, I was... checking it to make sure it wasn't scratched. But... honestly, I just can't stop listening to it.
Luisa Rey: This is the "Cloud Atlas Sextet"?
Store Clerk: It's, uh... the "Symphony".
Luisa Rey: It's beautiful. But I think I've heard this before.
Store Clerk: Can't imagine how. I doubt there's more than a... handful of copies in all of North America.
Luisa Rey: But I know it. I know I know it.
