Movie: Cloud Atlas
Genre: I have no idea
Synopsis: The movie has an
all-star cast that includes: Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Jim Broadbent, Hugo
Weaving, Jim Sturgess, James D’Arcy, Susan Sarandon, and Hugh Grant. Many of the actors have up to six different
roles. The movie jumps from slavery days to a distant future.
My two cents: This movie lost
me pretty quickly. I would have been
better off just viewing it as 5 or 6 short films rather than trying to
understand how they were supposed to fit together. What I did enjoy weas seeing the range of
roles the actors had. For instance – in
one part of the movie Huigh Grant plays the maniacal leader of a band of
pillaging barbarians. I know this movie
has been widely acclaimed my critics – but I just did not get it. About 45 minutes into it friend turned to me
an asked “Do you have any idea what is going on”. My answer was “not a clue”.
