Look what amazon.de has left in my mailbox. Okay more directly speaking my bank account has paid for that shit, and im pretty sure it would have kept that money. But I am into pop-culture and movies. But what am I talking about? You would not be reading this if you weren't into this as well.

Right now can tell you that I have been to the movie when it came out. And besides the fact that I had to pee so bad since the movie was so long, but I can tell you it was amazing! And it is amazing! The Cloud Atlas topic in general could be either that life's are connected throughout time or / and that humankind has always had bad and good sides. The third thing that I have seen in the movie is that humankind always repeats its mistakes. But only in other incarnations and or forms.
The movie is based on the book and since I haven't read the book now I cannot tell you if its good or not and where the differences between movie and book are. But like in the book there are 6 time periods. In 1849 we get to know a young American lawyer who discovers that slavery is wrong, through the kind acts of an escaped slave who is a blind passenger on a ride over the Atlantic ocean. In the next period, 1963, we learn about the life and work of a young, British, gay composer and his first big work, and sadly his last. Actually it is surprising to me that this "Love hate" story is one of my 2 favorite periods in the movie. And: it is an LGBT segment! Wuhuu! In 1973 we learn about a journalist who risks her life to lay open a intrigue in a nuclear power plant. In 2012 an old publisher gets to learn about the worth of freedom ad free decision when he fights his way out of a retirement home. Now we get to my second favorite time period: 2144. In a futuristic city called Neo-Seoul. In this absolute and repressive regime clones are used as servants without any rights. They are used for 13 years or so and then they are killed and serve as food for new clones. This period has many facets and I don't want to give away any more from it, so you just have to watch! And the last period plays in 2346, in the post apocalyptic setting of Hawaii.
