Helping in Making Sense of Cloud Atlas

Posted in New Age, Others tagged , , , , , , , at 10:21 am by Eon Strife

Uh oh..so you have watched Cloud Atlas movie (or read Cloud Atlas novel), and still cannot figure out what’s the main storyline, what’s that connection stuffs that are heavily advertised in the trailer ?  You are not alone, and it is not your fault. It’s just that the themes are presented subtly that demand multiple rewatching or re-reading in order to understand. Here are some internet links I gathered that can help us in understanding the story. Note that there are some differences between the movie and the novel that I divide the links into two categories : movie and novel. Since the movie is based on the novel, definitely some aspects discussed in the links below  are applicable to both the movie and the novel. Oh, btw : MASSSIVE SPOILER !

Lyrics:

Italian

English

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo giusto,
Li tutti vivono in pace e in onestà.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.

Nella fantasia io vedo un mondo chiaro,
Li anche la notte è meno oscura.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano.
Pien’ d’umanità.

Nella fantasia esiste un vento caldo,
Che soffia sulle città, come amico.
Io sogno d’anime che sono sempre libere,
Come le nuvole che volano,
Pien’ d’umanità in fondo all’anima.

 In my fantasy I see a just world,
Where everyone lives in peace and in honesty.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit.

In my fantasy I see a bright world,
Where each night there is less darkness.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly.
Full of humanity.

In my fantasy exists a warm wind,
That breathes into the city, like a friend.
I dream of spirits that are always free,
Like the clouds that fly,
Full of humanity in the depths of the spirit.
