Just watched Cloud Atlas. I can confirm that anyone who didn't like it has no taste in films.

Is it the greatest movie ever made? No, but I haven't been as mesmerized, perplexed, and impressed since Blade Runner, 2001, and Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.

Do not underestimate the powers of Hugo Weaving.

I've watched him do his thing in Cloud Atlas, play an Elf King, a sophisticated avatar, and a drag queen (The Adventures of Priscilla Queen of the Desert).

Hugo and Terrence Stamp and the other guy were really really brave doing Priscilla. From my own personal acquaintances, the characterizations and behaviors are spot-on accurate.


The necklace with the ABBA - t**d and the story behind it is hilarious Lol

I've only read the book, because I had never heard of it, until my roommate went to go see it in theaters. He showed me the trailer afterwords, and I read the book in about 2 days. It was excellent. Can't wait to see the movie.

Don't movies that were based on books generally have a harder time with awards? The book is always better and makes the film look shallow.

Indeed, I believe more Original Screenplays win Best Picture than Adapted Screenplays.

They weren't award winners but imho Michael Radford's "1984" and David Cronenberg's "Crash" (from the Ballard novel, not the Soderbergh LA film "Crash") are probably the most accurate book to film adaptations out there.

The oscars are for their own set of movies. Like "The Kings Speech" a standard Oscar bait movie.


The oscars have nothing to do with movies as a whole but rather a genre of movies.

Asking why any specific good movie never got an oscar is like asking why Justin Beiber never won the Nobel price in Physics or why Eve Online never won an MTV music award. They're whole different, unrelated genres.

The very sun of heaven seemed distorted when viewed through the polarising miasma welling out from this sea-soaked perversion, and twisted menace and suspense lurked leeringly in those crazily elusive angles of carven rock where a second glance shewed concavity after the first shewed convexity.
