Write down something

The long-awaited "Cloud Atlas" was finally released in Hong Kong, and I was looking forward to seeing it in the cinema.
As a result, G had to say that the download version was already available on the Internet, so yesterday he closed the door, pulled down the curtains, and spent half a day digesting the movie on his own.

The editing of the six stories is dazzling. The subtle connection between each story is not the past and present life that I thought before, but the memory carrier left by the predecessors: the lawyer’s diary, the composer’s hexatet, the reporter’s novel, Movies from publishers, and videos from clones. These items that record the life history of the predecessors eventually become a vital link in the lives of future generations, giving them enlightenment, vigilance, and even enshrined them as gods' dogma.

Everyone has to make countless choices in his life, and when making a choice, many people may think that this choice can affect his life, but few people think that their choice will also affect future generations, right?

Like most people, I feel that my life is a drop in the ocean. As long as I spend it peacefully and happily, I'm very satisfied. I never thought about leaving any stunning works. But when I think that when I reach the end of my life, I waved my sleeves and left nothing. The experience of my life cannot be verified, whether it is legendary or not, and I still feel quite regretful.

I really feel that we should write down something, even just a few words, to at least prove that we have been here, loved, laughed, and walked.
