No offense, but the book doesn't really have a plot either. It's up to the reader to fit the pieces together.

Tob be honest i wouldn't trust your view of abstract art seeing as how your previous posts seem to suggest that what you look for in a movie is a good soundtrack and good fights.
I don't even know why you tried to watch this in the first place, except maybe you were expecting another matrix movie or something.
Your use of the word intellectual as if it is some infectious disease pretty much sums up how i think you look at movies.

He's either on drugs or mistaking Cloud Atlas for another movie anyway since he has mentioned repeatedly that the movie is 6 hours long, that "after about 4 hours the movie starts to make sense" and so on. lol

His post was obviously exaggerated. I was quite entertained lol.
I also thought the movie was awful. It tried to come across as meaningful and insightful but it only achieved a pseudo-intellectual and pretentious base at best. I wrote a review on this earlier in the thread as well.

He's being remarkably persistent with his hyperbole then. This being said, he has already proved in this thread to be persistent way above the call of duty so I believe you! This or his media player was on autorepeat and he went through two sittings of the movie without noticing because it's such a mess anyway (or was busy drafting his TL post when the credits rolled). :/

cloud atlas was pretty cool, i'd watch again to fully understand it. (it felt like 6 story lines,iirc, that come down to two story lines)
"born to raise hell" is the obvious movie of the year

Thanks, I was trolling obviously but I do believe the movie was awful, to make something intellectual you cannot just throw a bunch of words with no meaning or an abstract meaning without an abstract meaning (if you know what I mean..., let's say a meaning behind the abstraction even if it's just a cool colour combination), that's not intellectual that's, to me it's the same thing that those people trying to give meaning to the religious people that speak in tongues, it's people trying to interpret non sense. Also my post may come out as "intellectual", I honestly don't like the term, I don't like to speak in a complicated way that's as I said before, nonsense, or a lack of knowing how to explain things in a simple way, but since we're talking about abstract art, so be it.

Cloud Atlas is just another movie in a current trend of films portraying characters that throw uncomprehensible deeply intellectual quotes in low voices and with edited colour backgrounds, some are good though, I like that when it's not over played, in CA it was heavily overplayed that's why I disliked it so much, it's like that new superman movie that tries to copy the Dark Knight, it will try to be darker than TDK, then the next one will be darker and so on and so on, Hollywood has lost it's originality nowadays, in independent films there is more quality, but they still make good action movies if you want to laugh at how bad their plots are, i.e Resident Evil Retribution.

For everyone saying that this movie wasn't worth their time, doesn't understand anything that is going on with the movie or what the movie is about. For those that say this movie is garbage or it just sucks and doesn't have a plot, clearly doesn't know how to capture the true meanings behind the movie. Next time before bringing down a movie, learn it, read it, analyze it. This movie gives you another meaning to life, well, the book, but the movie visualizes it for you so well. It's one of the best movies ever created.

Then again, nowadays everyone seems to think that Nolan's generic action movies are masterpieces of cinema. Not that I'm an expert on movies, far from it, but seriously..

For the unpracticed mind, yes. You have to actually use your brain as well, while watching this movie, which is the best part

Saw the movie last night and I have to say it was a masterpiece.
Definitely a thinking man's movie. The movie is about time and fate, all of the story lines that run through the life of one person is repeated in the lives of the others at different points in time. Amazingly pointed out with the multiple roles of the same actors.
I wouldn't say it was abstract art, it was more like poetry. On the surface, it's pretty poor, hard to read and you will gladly leave it and never touch it again. However when you probe deeper into the story, into the technical stuff behind it then you will come out with something which could change your perception of life.
Also, if you honestly think it was that bad, then I'm guessing from the start it wasn't the movie for you. It's draw is it's story telling, and the underlying story was one which can easily be missed unless like me, you take time after the movie and talk things through with someone.
Nolans films are masterpieces in their own right. They are well told stories with gritty action and well developed characters. However, true masterpieces of cinema are the films like cloud atlas which leave you walking away talking about individual plots, then twining them with the other plots to help it make sense.
I do need to watch it again, and I do need to read the book, but it was definitely a quality film.

Yea we get it, you're so much smarter than anybody else that you are capable of understanding generic abstract hollywood movies that are based on anti-slavery clichés and new age-80's karma philosophy, man you've got quite an extraordinary brain. I wonder what type of special education I need to understand though, maybe that Whoppie Wolberg movie where she talks to a ghost?, maybe watching random abstract colours that people give a meaning, even though the whole point is they don't have one?, maybe some other hollywood movies that are so abstract that make people think they're smart, like The Others? because actually that's the point of these types of movies they are made in a way to make the audience feel smart, even when the philosophy and plot are extremely weak, and just like a mathematical equation you just follow the same masses that you condemn as not being as smart as you. You live inside the 4 walls corporations approve to you culturally.
|
How is one SO against a movie that they write their hearts out in a thread like this, yet the only criticism they make in their paragraphs upon paragraphs of text is that he doesn't like snobs.
Also apparently we all live inside the world that corporations approve of, isn't that nice? We're all brainwashed it seems, and only this guy can show us the light.

I can understand you can dislike this movie for whatever reason it fits you, but basicly hate on it? Silly dude.

-It takes about 45 minutes to introduce all the sub-plots
-They don't make sense
-Every 5 minutes the characters have to say the most shallow quotes that will be forgotten in the next 5 seconds because of how cheesy it is, not only that but everything slows down so that the characters can say it in a very low voice something that apparently is terribly intellectual.
-After about 4 hours the movie starts to make sense but you're probably very sleepy like I was and then you realize what was it all about: Some bullshit anti-slavery theme and "natural order of things" which means that slavery will never end or something but when this seems to be coherent they ruin it with new age religion bullshit like karma, reincarnation and another life to meet again your loved ones.
-Then at the end you get more cheesy quotes so intellectual they can only be understood by Noam Chomsky or Socrates but not really it's just trash.
-Then the final scene some snob lawyer quits all his fucking huge wealth to help slaves, yea right like those kind of people existed. And even if they did they wouldn't throw so many dumb quotes every 30 seconds.
This is by far the worst movie I've ever seen, anybody that likes it needs to develop a taste and be castrated just in case, I though the worst movie of the last decade was green lantern and I saw that one just to laugh at how bad it was but really it wasn't so bad because I laughed many times, that's why I gave that one a rating of 2/10 in my private scale that nobody cares about, 2/10 for so bad it's good, this one gets 1/10 I've never disliked a movie with such passion it's just terribly awfully fucking bad and represents everything wrong with hollywood and their lack of ideas, only watch this trash if you feel like wasting 6 hours of your life. No offense, but the book doesn't really have a plot either. It's up to the reader to fit the pieces together. So it's like one of those abstract wallpappers that are just a bunch of colours that make no sense but the colours picked aren't even good, abstract without the art? Funny. More like it's a complete mess. The colours that are picked (in case of the book, the use of the English language) are extremely good, but not everyone will like them. It's one of these books that requires a certain level of education to be enjoyed. Then again, nowadays everyone seems to think that Nolan's generic action movies are masterpieces of cinema. Not that I'm an expert on movies, far from it, but seriously.. Yea we get it, you're so much smarter than anybody else that you are capable of understanding generic abstract hollywood movies that are based on anti-slavery clichés and new age-80's karma philosophy, man you've got quite an extraordinary brain. I wonder what type of special education I need to understand though, maybe that Whoppie Wolberg movie where she talks to a ghost?, maybe watching random abstract colours that people give a meaning, even though the whole point is they don't have one?, maybe some other hollywood movies that are so abstract that make people think they're smart, like The Others? because actually that's the point of these types of movies they are made in a way to make the audience feel smart, even when the philosophy and plot are extremely weak, and just like a mathematical equation you just follow the same masses that you condemn as not being as smart as you. You live inside the 4 walls corporations approve to you culturally.
For the love of god, please stop posting in this thread.

He's either on drugs or mistaking Cloud Atlas for another movie anyway since he has mentioned repeatedly that the movie is 6 hours long, that "after about 4 hours the movie starts to make sense" and so on. lol
I also thought the movie turned pretty shit at the fourth hour. Literally NOTHING was happening on the screen. The first 3 hours was fantastic. But after the sixth hour I just had to turn it off. It was like watching an empty screen.

I was actually talking about the book, not about the movie (since it won't be in theatres in Belgium 'til May). Like I said many times, the book as a whole doesn't even have a plot. Its individual stories do, however, and while there are hints that some of the characters may be related, it's not what the book is about.
Needless to say, I don't think you'd enjoy the book a lot either, even though actually it's actually quite anti-corporate.

Saw this yesterday. Highly entertaining and inspirational, although the themes don't really feel applicable to my life since I do not believe in fate. Nonetheless, I will certainly watch this film again so I can see what I missed and piece everything together.
