If you go to Cloud Atlas expecting a plot, you will be disappointed. This movie requires shifting your focus
to themes and messages. And those themes and
messages are very thought provoking. Six stories,
like a well crafted symphony are interwoven into an
examination of connectedness, cause and effect, and
oppression with dollops of discrimination and violence.
I watched the movie at first expecting a story to unfold, or at least six stories. A quarter way into the film I shifted to just reacting to the underlying themes. This movie goes deeper than most action films, and that's what makes it a winner. It is
not a mindless entertainment pablum. Instead, it makes you
contemplate existence itself long after you leave the theater.
