      In the vast sea of ​​people, meeting the only person, your life will change forever

      So, let's start with a few key lines in the film - although some of them are inaccurate, I really want to write down my feelings before watching others interpret them.
      The Clone Restaurant of the Story: Resolutely Resist Violent Violence!
      Story "Cloud Atlas Sextet": It must be God's intention, let me see you first. I let my eyes stare at you wantonly, and at the moment of parting, I will deeply engrave your figure and the sunset into my mind.

      Only special effects makeup is worth admiring

      There are a total of 6 stories, the specific plot arrangement and structure, and other film reviews have been written completely, so I don't want to continue.

      But I always feel that this film that shows off its structure, traverses, and jumps back, excavates too little emotion in the story itself.

      The first anti-slavery story, the interaction between Adam and the black sailor, is not enough, the traditional manor drama is very delicate;
      the second same-sex true love...

      The tricks of deceiving the leopards are sophistication, the content is pale, and the western theme movie

      Flashbacks and interludes are used together to tell six stories.

      In the first 18 years, a young lawyer went to sell black slaves, and fell ill after meeting the eyes of the black slaves who were sm. The doctor on the boat wanted to make him swallow his property, but he was rescued by the black buddy he had saved. At the same time, he wrote a sailing diary. When he got home, he turned against his father-in-law and burned the black slave contract to participate in the abolition...

      Because of "Cloud Atlas" - insights and classic lines

      This can be regarded as my insight after reading Yuntu. "Cloud Atlas" brought tears to my eyes, and it will eventually accompany me on my way.
             Because I met "Cloud Atlas", my life has now turned in a new direction. Just like the original words in "Cloud Atlas": at every intersection, every encounter, there is a new or potential direction.
              I watched "Cloud Atlas" because of my curiosity about the name and my interest in sci-fi movies, so it was unexpected that I cried a...

      About the cloud map and all (not all) after

      This article is mainly based on appreciation, and does not do too much narration, arranging the plot and checking the actors.
      To be honest, it’s no easier to write a review for this movie than the writer and director to adapt the original book into a movie (the original book “Cloud Atlas” [David Mitchell] has been called “the most difficult novel to adapt to a movie”).

      It's a movie that won't be rewatched but will always be remembered. Seeing human beings repeat the same mistakes under different historical conditions and material environments - plundering the same kind due to greed or hatred and turning self-justice into "following the laws of nature" is an experience that is enough to shake the worldview. The six stories are interspersed and clear, and the actors' crossplay and Wo-style jokes ensure the viewing of the big theme. You have to find the original...

      Solzhenitsyn, whose face is blurred in the film, but the "BANNED" on his face is clearly visible, said: "The fish never fight collectively against the fishing industry, they just want to get out of the mesh." "Cloud Atlas" presents an "ocean" constructed from "drops of water" and six stubborn fish trying to break the net. The lines talk with Mingzhi, maybe "Such a movement will never succeed", but "Unlike Solzhenitsyn, I am not...

      Three hours carry six stages of life, each of which is less than half an hour. If there is no cross-cutting and confounding, individual stories are just sketches. The philosophies of doors opening and closing or the butterfly effect are nothing new. In the dystopian plot, the dolls draw intestines, and the teaching methods are not very clever. Later generations commented on their predecessors, and only made them into unreasonable glue people. They lacked comprehensive care and deliberation of...

    Behind the scenes gags

    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...

    Creation Background

    The film is adapted from the novel of the same name by David Mitchell. This novel is a work that is difficult to adapt because of its spectacular description of time and space and human nature. In the book, Mitchell tells six relatively independent but related stories. The time and space span from medieval Europe to the utopia in fantasy. Characters have also spanned from knights, underworld, musicians to reporters. Although the...

    Movie quotes

    • Timothy Cavendish: Never forget Herman Melville, writes a ripping yarn about a big white whale which is summarily dismissed, and yet today it is lugged around in the backpacks of every serious student of literature in the world.

      Dermot Hoggins: I don't give a fuck what happens when I'm dead, I want people to buy me book now!

      Timothy Cavendish: Well, as your publisher, obviously nothing would make me happier. But sadly, for whatever reason, 'Knuckle Sandwich' has yet to connect to its audience.

      Dermot Hoggins: You want a reason? I'll give you a reason

      [points]

      Dermot Hoggins: Right there!

      Timothy Cavendish: Aaaa, you mean Mr Finch?

      Dermot Hoggins: Felix fuckin' Finch! That cunt that shat all over me book in his poncy fuckin' magazine!

      Timothy Cavendish: It wasn't that bad.

      Dermot Hoggins: No?

      [quotes]

      Dermot Hoggins: 'Mr Hoggins should apologize to the trees failed for the making of his bloated autobio novel. Four hundred vain-glorious pages expire in an ending that is flat and inane beyond belief'.

      Timothy Cavendish: Steady now, Dermot. What is a critic but one who reads quickly, arrogantly, but never wisely.

    • Nurse Noakes: You are going to be sorry in ways you cannot even imagine.

      Mr. Meeks: [shrieks to draw attention of the crowd in the pub] Are there no true Scotsmen in the house? Those there English gerrunts are trampling all over my God-given rights!

      Nurse Noakes: These people are mine.

      [fans growl menacingly]

      Mr. Meeks: They've used me and my pals most direly and we are in need of a wee bit of assistance!

      Highlander: Right, pal, we'll not let you down

      [starts a fight]

    • Zachry: Who tripped the Fall, if not Old Georgie?

      Meronym: True-true? The Old Uns.

      Zachry: That's just a rope o'smoke. Old Uns got the Smart. They mastered sick and seeds, they make miracles and fly across the sky.

      Meronym: True. All true. But they got somethin' else. A hunger in their hearts, a hunger that's stronger than all their Smart.

      Zachry: Hunger? For what?

      Meronym: A hunger for more.
