Cloud Atlas

                         

Death,life,birth
Future,present,past
Love,hope,courage
All are connected.

一部无法不让人爱上和深思的电影。从六个全然不同的故事背景,来讲述生命与爱的轮回。
从第一个眼神,的开始。










摘自cloud atlas :

 I am just trying to understand why we keep making the same mistake,over and over again

My father braved booby-trapped marshes and the wrath of generals for his journalistic integrity. What kind of daughter would I be if I bailed when things got a little tough?

This world spins from the same unseen forces that twist our heart

I understand now that boundaries between noise and sound are conventions. All boundaries are conventions, waiting to be transcended. One may transcend any convention if only one can first conceive of doing so. Moments like this, I can feel your heart beating as clearly as I feel my own, and I know that separation is an illusion. My life extends far beyond the limitations of me.

A true suicide is a paced, disciplined certainty. People pontificate suicide is a coward's act. Couldn't be further from the truth. Suicide takes tremendous courage. Don't let them say I killed myself for love. Had my infatuations, but we both know in our hearts who is the sole love of my short, bright life.

Truth is singular. Its "versions" are mistruths.

No matter what you do it will never amount to anything more than a single drop in a limitless ocean---What is an ocean but a multitude a drops?

 Fear, belief, love phenomena that determined the course of our lives. These forces begin long before we are born and continue after we perish.

Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

If God created the world, how do we know what things we can change and what things must remain sacred and inviable?

The weak are meat and the strong do eat.

Belief, like fear or love, is a force to be understood as we understand the theory of relativity, and principles of uncertainty. Phenomena that determine the course of our lives. Yesterday, my life was headed in one direction. Today, it is headed in another. Yesterday, I believe I would never have done what I did today. These forces that often remake time and space, they can shape and alter who we imagine ourselves to be, begin long before we are born, and continue after we perish. Our lives and our choices, like quantum trajectories, are understood moment to moment, at each point of intersection, each encounter, suggest a new potential direction.

You have to do whatever it is you can't not do.

A half-finished book is, after all, a half finished love affair.

believe death is only a door, when it closes, another opens. If I care to imagine heaven. I would imagine a door opening. And behind it, I would find him there, waiting for me.

You can maintain power over people, as long as you give them something. Rob a man of everything, and that man will no longer be in your power.

To be is to be perceived. And so to know thyself is only possible through the eyes of the other. The nature of our immortal lives is in the consequences of our words and deeds, that go on and are pushing themselves throughout all time. Our lives are not our own, from womb to tomb, we're bound to others, past and present. And by each crime and every kindness, we birth our future.

Freedom. The fatuous jingle of our civilization. But only those deprived of it have the barest inkling of what it really is.

My thoughts? If I'm honest, I admit that the obvious emotions like shock and horror flew as Finch had, here and gone... While deep down, I experienced a nascent sense of a silver lining to this most tragic turn.

Composing is a crusade. Sometimes you slay the dragon. Sometime it slays you.

You say you're 'depressed' - all i see is resilience. You are allowed to feel messed up and inside out. It doesn't mean you're defective- it just means you're human


生命究竟是什么意义?与其天堂或地狱,这部戏把死亡说成是一扇通往另个生命的窗,而人们会再以不同的角色来重遇并偿还上一场生命的爱与恨。而爱,却比死亡,还要永久。

真理又是什么?这仿佛是个很个人的定义与坚信所创造出来的理念。Sonmi 说,真理只有一个,而真理的版本,那已不再是真理了。当有人问她,为什么明知道任务会失败却还是坚持?她却说:真理没死,因为已经有人知晓了。

为什么我们一直犯同个错误?那是Luisa Rey在许多事发生后 偶然思考的问题。非常欣赏她那超女强人风格,每每她需要勇气与智慧时,她会问自己:“如果是我爸,他会怎么做?他一定不会那么的懦弱。” 可想而知,她那伟大的爸爸,造就了那么一个她。


结局是完美性地感动,最后这六个故事却是紧紧相连的一个个体,制作与连接手法完美得让人觉得佩服,再加上有哲学性的对话与充满灵魂的音乐,是续几年前的Inception ,一部让我觉得深刻的电影。

生命与真理间藏着一个属于Belief 的意义。如云朵。如地图。
