Revolutionary Filmmaking!

Rating: 10/10 (31 October 2012)

The film, Cloud Atlas, was a bold undertaking and it delivered. It succeeded in the areas that count the most and it did so without comprising the underlying philosophical message driving this insightful work. The film is not responsible for the task of changing our view of the power of love, nor adding value to cerebral expressions, nor the promotion of compassionate thinking , nor the importance of selfless deeds, nor personal sacrifice. In addition, your average garden-variety film critic, who specializes in defining what will meet the current criterion of popular entertainment and not what satisfies the timeless criterion of what stands to make a positive difference in the world around us, will most likely underrate this thought-provoking call-to- action to live life with a higher awareness of our individual impact on each other now and in the future. As a sidebar, the 102 million dollars invested, which is only an objective representation of employed human talents, in this film is testament to what the film promotes which is, the cost of our actions may seem incredibly high in the here and now but over time will yield immeasurable profits in the world around us in ways that cannot be measured. The film is a revolution. Be a part of it. Go see it.
