Cloud Atlas

Wow. I just watched Cloud Atlas. It is an amazingly well told story. there are multiple time periods and story lines that all intertwine gently. I think I appreciate it more because of the script writing classes I have in school. The way that all the holes in the story are slowly filled in until at the end it all makes sense is amazing. The acting is really good too with the main group of actors playing multiple parts through the different time periods and each one being distinct. In that way the make up and set design also kept the times separate. The way the story slowly revealed itself was awesome. I feel like this is the way all stories should be told. it felt like a book the way that things were being discovered. I kept trying to guess how the times overlapped and I was wrong every time but, the way they did made sense. I think this is the best told story in a movie I have seen possibly ever.
