Its A 10/10

Rating: 10/10 (2 January 2013)

Where do I begin from with Cloud Atlas.
Thematically, The whole point of the movie was summed up in one basic dialog, "Our lives are not our own. We are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime; and every kindness. We birth our future." It was dramatic and emotional. This is one movie where I cannot highlight who the protagonist was because the characterization was done in a way that it doesn't highlight one single character but every character is interwoven living by the lines of the theme.
There were many important parts in the movie but what according to me stood out the most is the moment when zachary looks up at the stone in front and somewhere he was fearless because he felt he did wrong to his brother in law and now what stands ahead of him is what he deserved but meronym stands up to fight for him. The whole point according to me was that people deserve to be trusted or given a chance, but somewhere the truth stands that we don't want to give someone a chance unless we love them dearly and sometimes not even then.
The plot of the movie was complex and timeless. This is another movie that I can watch over and over again and never get bored. Because it isn't one of the traditional movies where the simple plot is well received and easily understood. I believe the charm of this movie is its complexity created with parallel running story lines. It has intrigued me as an audience because every dialog delivered in this movie has depth in it. Profound depth that I'd like to remember so somewhere down the line I can quote them.
Through the period and its styling from clothing, make-up, accent; all of it should be credited to such fine actors and crew. Tom hanks, according to me, played diverse role like the others in the movie but in each of it he aced.
The one symbolism in the movie that I'll forever keep in mind is about transcending boundaries. That was inspiring, somewhere when bound, that's how I believe every individual would like to imagine it as in their heads.
If I begin to talk about dialogs; Then every philosophical dialog in that movie was beyond remarkable. It touched my heart, made me unmovable while I watched it, almost made me cry when Isaac died at the point of realization of his love for Luisa ray And the feelings sonmi held for hae joo chang, when she clarifies it to the interviewer that what she means is, she will always love him and the opening dialog about truth. How sonmi goes from an ordinary waitress to a woman to lead a revolution through knowledge and understanding... finally, how a soft, almost delicate girl accepts her death knowing that love is timeless. This movie reached a level of philosophy I can continue to discuss.
For me, I'll watch this movie again it's a 10/10 for me because complex topics like, love, destiny, fate and freedom cannot be painted or depicted in its entirety and what Cloud Atlas did was the best of what its director, writers and crew could have done.
