"Cloud Atlas" is an excellent conceptual movie, though 3 hours long.
After 'Forrest Gump,' this is Tom Hank's finest performance!
The movie simultaneously carries multiple stories from multiple eras of human living, showing that we all are interconnected. Each act is interconnected. Our unfinished letters, half-read books, our unexplained dreams, etc. We all are living in a massive ball of Time. Past, present, and future are illusions. Irrespective of the time we are living and regardless of our level of civilization - what matters is human love, bonding, our heart to help each other, overcoming our inner fear - And above all, our ability to stand up for truth.
The most exciting part of the movie was the portrayal of different versions of human slavery - from classic black slavery to old age people restraints in nursing homes! - or like - emotional blackmailing as shown of one gay person by his boss. The outcomes of our endeavors may not be positive and may fail (suicide, execution, etc.) - but what matters is to keep fighting the evil with strong sustained human bondings!
A touch of science fiction was inevitable, like human cloning, etc. - but the amusing was that people in one far past era had no surprise when a ship from the future and another planet visited them!
It's an interesting watch.
