Comment on What were some movies you had to look up explanations of after watching?
ThisIsNotHim@sopuli.xyz 8 months agoIt 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.
