Cloud Atlas




Last night the hubster and I watched the film Cloud Atlas.  There are many words I could use to describe this movie, the loudest word in my mind is, "weird." However, "amazingly talented" comes to mind at the same time.  It was often hard to follow. We paused the movie and looked up the different time periods it was focusing on so we could stop being confused. :) 

My absolute favorite thing was the costumes and makeup. There was a group of actors who played many, many, many different characters. It was awesome. At the end of the film they show you each actor and the many characters they played.

I would not recommend watching this with a group of people. There were some points when it was awkward watching it with my husband. Straight to the point of pornographic.  I hate that films have to go there.  There were also some really violent parts...I hid my face most of the time.

Side note...I hadn't realized it was rated R...it was definitely rated R for a reason.

Minus the sexual and violence parts, it was a beautiful film about people's choices affecting other people. I loved the history is went through.

I thought it acting was really good. Tom Hanks was crazy good with all his characters. Halle Barry was beautiful and so talented. My favorite was Jim Sturgess.  Loved him in Across the Universe.

What did you think of this film?

Have a good day.
