I watched Cloud Atlas on a whim a few nights ago. It affected me so profoundly, I still feel its effects even now. A compelling story from a novel considered "unadaptable" because of its unconventional form of narration.
The script itself is a thing of brilliance. The words flow like smooth syrup, smothering your subconscious with heavy beauty.
From the novel by David Mitchell:
"A half-read book is like a half-finished love affair."
"I believe there is another world for us. A better world. And I'll be waiting for you there."
Besides that, the soundtrack is breathtaking. The music is haunting, lyrical in its symphony. And, of course, ambitious.
I would honestly say that at this point of time, Cloud Atlas is hands down without opposition my all time favourite film.
