No questions, Just some answers.

Cloud Atlas takes the first place in my own "10 Movies of All Time" List. When I first watched "Cloud Atlas," directed by Wachowski sisters and Tom Tykwer, I knew I would need to see it again. After the second time, I figured it is still not enough. All in all, I had to watch it more then 10 times and I still feel like I missed something. Repeated viewing don't solve the problem. Each time you notice things that you haven't noticed before. It is tricky and symbolic. Try to catch it if you can.
David Mitchell, the writer of the novel, wrote each segment of the story as a different genre short film. The first one is written in diary narrative format. Robert Frobisher's line is more of a romance story. Journalist's segment sounds as an action-thriller movie. Cavendish's part is full of comedy and drama at the same time. And we also see a perfectly developed sci-fi world in a contrast with primitive village world. Throughout all these different genres and time periods, Mitchell creates a link, which is actually a character. A soul that transforms in various time zones and locations. A soul that must overcome different challenges to become a better self.
The film itself makes a huge statement about reincarnation. However, it would be useless without indicating the human's ability to become better or worse, as they appear in various cycles of their infinite lives. The comet shaped birthmark has s symbolic meaning. It shows a mystery in such a complicated process. A process of a soul passing through another body and shows that we are all connected. Our own past lives make a difference in our present.
Cloud Atlas is one the most ambitious films ever made. It creates questions, not answers. Answers that the viewer has to find by him or herself. It doesn't explain, it just shows. The film involves so many society's and personal issues, that it is hard to count; redemption, social hierarchy, adultery, beliefs and faith, trust, racism. Again, it doesn't show how to solve the issues, but makes viewers think for themselves what's wrong and right.
I was never, ever bored by "Cloud Atlas." Each viewing helps me to define logical connections between the segments, stories and characters.
