"Cloud Atlas" Promotes Love & trust

Cloud Atlas promotes LOVE and TRUST between oppressed human beings, and supports the realization over and over that WE THE PEOPLE are vastly more numerous and more powerful than our would-be corporate fascist wannabe controllers.  It promotes the undeniably true thesis that we MUST learn how to trust one another, and work together against our own exploitation by the FEW.
 
Where else will you hear the head of security for a large energy corporation refer to an airliner that his company bombed to kill off a whistleblower, and dismiss the problem with the remark, “Don’t worry, the press is blaming it on the Palestinians.”
 
Reality, much?
 
Where else can you see Hugh Grant as a truly terrifying pagan “Kona” warrior cannibal?  And for dark humor, where else can you find a crusading elderly man spouting out “Soylent green is people”, while trying to save wealthy seniors from a prison-like nursing home where their children have sent them to die?
 
These are just tiny examples of the utterly amazing tapestry of the human heart and its workings, and how that is played out over centuries for better and worse, which is the subject of this magnificent film.
 
NOBODY in the industry wanted this film made.  The Wachowski’s had to mortgage their homes to finance this film personally, and it has been UNIFORMLY slaughtered by the critics, and at the box office.
 
“Katy”, the putative author of your piece, could not have gotten the film more wrong if she had tried.  Cloud Atlas has more heart, and has more political truth embedded in its narratives, than any film released this year.  At least.
 
As far as Dan’s comments go, only a FOOL would write a review of ANY artistic work, without having actually seen or heard it to begin with.  What a waste of words.
 
Cloud Atlas is a PROFOUNDLY MORAL film, more so than any film I have seen in over fifty years.
 
I have seen this film twice now, and I didn’t even want to see it once, because I, too, was dumb enough to believe the critics’ completely dishonest hit pieces about it.  I also thought (and still think) that all three Matrix films SUCKED, and were nothing but Cabalist/Zionist pro-rave propaganda to dumbassify the masses.
 
So, I refused several times, and I eventually had to be corralled into going to see Cloud Atlas with a friend.  What a blessing that was.
 
Now chew on this:  I and my wife are Muslim, and we are socio-culturally far more “conservative” than your average self-proclaimed neo-liberal do-gooders.  My wife has seen the film three times now.  Her endorsement of it, on the whole, is undiminished.   Our 20 year old professional jazz musician son wept several times when he saw it this weekend.
 
One caveat:  Even though we take great umbrage with one particular line toward the end of the film, which suggests that “all” boundaries are there to be transcended, crossed, or transgressed, we think this single line of pop-Crowleyist “do what thou wilt” claptrap is a throwaway line, which is belied by the entire (nearly) three hours of the film that precedes it.  This one line is a sop to Cerberus, to the Cerberus of film finance, no doubt.  To seize on that, simply to support a facile and false interpretation of the obviously pro-human, pro-social, and anti-tyrannical intent and message of this film is as disingenuous, or plainly ignorant, as it is possible to be, in the case of this beautiful, powerful, heart-rending, funny, and immensely moral film.
 
The take home message:  Go see Cloud Atlas.  Most of the friends I have mentioned it to, wouldn’t even consider seeing it because the reviews were so uniformly bad.  Illuminati TIME magazine named it to its Ten Worst films of 2012 list over the weekend.  By contrast, most PEOPLE who have seen Cloud Atlas are very glad and grateful that they did. 
 
At its film festival premiere Cloud Atlas received a ten minute standing ovation.  That’s why the mainstream, lamestream, hypocritics have had to work so hard to trash it and bury it.  May they fail miserably in their efforts.
 
Use your own mind.
