Comment on What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching?

Cloud Atlas (2012)
I didn’t think the plot of the film was too confusing, but trying to keep track of which cast member played which character in each respective time period while watching the film was challenging.

It took me like half the movie to understand the pidgin for New Hawaii.
The book doesn’t jump around. Each story is like a book opened to the halfway point, with another book inserted. They’re all nested like this down to New Hawaii, which plays through straight, before finishing each story in turn.
I love ambitious (if somewhat failed) movies like this, and I’m not really sure if the Wachowskis could have done a better job.

I completely agree with the last sentiment you shared! I think of Cloud Atlas as a flawed gem, but am glad to have watched it at least once.
