Cloud Atlas

Rating: 10/10 (17 December 2012)

This movie is one of those movies that grabs onto you after you leave the cinema. Like Koyaanisqatsi it holds a message that people can relate to so I would say this movie is about an empowered Karma. Where your actions have repercussions throughout Eternity.
Most of us has seen a world where people want money, power, objects and alike; but all that is to reach happiness, our true and actual goal is always to be happy, nothing more. We mistook this desire for happiness as a need to get a hold on as many Things and Wealth as possible, but actually happiness is a mental state that can be achieved by anyone when they focus on it. If you stop desiring to buy things and get lost in daydreaming about the future, make long-term plans and worry about things you have no control of, and if you also stop thinking about the events that have happen to you in the past then you will be left to enjoy the present. Like it was said by Alice Morse Earle in her book "Yesterday is History, Tomorrow a Mystery, Today is a Gift, Thats why it's called the Present"
Because it is in this ever lasting moment, the now, where life happens, where you feel happiness and joy, where you meet new people and where you exist as well as everybody else.
