The theory of the six handshakes states that every person on our wonderful planet is separated from every other by only five levels of mutual acquaintance on average. The creators of the unforgettable "Matrix", once brothers, and now brother and sister Wachowski, and with them the director of "Perfume" Tom Tykwer developed this theme not only in terms of space, but also in time. For the basis of their joint film "Cloud Atlas" they took the novel of the same name by David Mitchell, in which the theme of the immortality of the soul, reincarnation and the fate of one person was raised against the background of countless similar destinies scattered over the time layer of history.
"Cloud Atlas" is six short stories intertwined with each other, somewhere more, somewhere quite insignificantly. An American lawyer returns home from a long voyage, in which he contracted a terrible disease, and shelters a fugitive negro in his cabin. A young, gay Englishman becomes the secretary of one of the most famous composers of his time and secretly writes his masterpiece, on the authorship of which his mentor is ready to encroach. The ambitious journalist is trying to expose the corrupt nuclear businessmen, thereby bringing on herself danger. An elderly publisher, hiding from the bandits, with the light hand of his wealthy brother, is locked in a nursing home. The clone girl challenges the system of the future and turns out to be the last hope of the resistance fighting for freedom. And finally, the story of a post-apocalyptic Earth, in which society was divided into the inhabitants of the Valley, who returned to the primitive communal order, and the technologically advanced Seers; at the same time, they both depend on each other.
The stories, at first glance, are completely unrelated, but gradually the "trickle-down effect" becomes more and more noticeable. Each character had its own influence on others, somewhere completely mediated, and somewhere - the most that neither is direct. Wachowski and Tykwer tried to show us that accidents do not exist, that all the most important meetings in our life are predetermined, and if they are not destined to take place in this life, it will definitely happen in the next.
Novels are very different - in spirit and mood. But the topic of predestination, to one degree or another, is raised in each of them. It is noteworthy that they do not follow one after the other, but now and then alternate, transferring the viewer to one or another era. So, a barely noticeable ghostly connection becomes more distinct, and when the plot tangle weaves together more tightly than ever, sharply raising the degree of tension in two or even three short stories at the same time, you worry about the heroes more than ever. After all, by the end of the definitely rather big story, they become almost like relatives. A variety of eras, from historical, everyday for us and to absolutely fantastic, interesting characters, beautiful literary language, which for the most part the heroes use - all this creates a feeling of “literary”. More than once or twice, when viewing "Cloud Atlas", one gets the feeling that you are sitting and reading a very good book by an intelligent author with a well-developed imagination.

The cast also helps to "get in touch" with what is happening on the screen. Indeed, in each novel, the characters are the next incarnations of the same people. Only often they are completely impossible to identify on their own. In accordance with the era and the mood that unfolds in the next story, the hero also takes on a suitable appearance. Sometimes bizarre to the point of absurdity. In my opinion, the most striking images came from Hugo Weaving, a faithful companion of the Wachowski directors. His roles are secondary, but will be remembered for a long time, precisely by the skill of reincarnation. But the rest of the actors deserve words of praise. I learned about the presence of many of them in the film only from the end credits. After all, make-up artists also contributed to the actor's metamorphosis. If Cloud Atlas does not receive an Oscar in this technical nomination, it will be a very big injustice.
Unfortunately, not everything worked out perfectly. The film runs for almost three hours, it turns out that about half an hour is allotted for each story. Some novels have not been able to fully unfold within their time limits. This is especially true of stories that unfold in the future. But the authors can also be understood - to increase the already considerable timekeeping would be too much, and to sacrifice some story in favor of the rest is blasphemy. But what was in the power of the creators of "Atlas" was to make that very connection a little more noticeable. Sometimes it is so subtle that it seems as if it does not exist at all. Perhaps, with repeated views, even more meanings will open, but I still wanted to see a greater relationship between the characters. Cloud Atlas has an idea. Even as many as six ideas. Each story is complete and self-sufficient. And together they create an overall picture, a kind of "transformer". Only the inconvenient question "why?" sometimes I still want to ask.
Cloud Atlas is not a masterpiece. Not a "second Matrix". But this is a very bold and unusual picture. Atlas is one of the most expensive independent filmov, and the courage of Wachowski and Tykwer, who took on such an ambiguous and expensive project, can only be envied. Now that the viewer is pampered by endless blockbusters, and the average static cinema goers go to something more serious and intelligent, except for the sake of variety, Atlas definitely faces some risk of box office failure. And despite the fact that the Wachowskis claim that they are primarily for art, and not for money, I would still advise you to pay attention to the "Cloud Atlas". This is a fascinating story that will take you a whole evening to watch, and then you will ponder what you saw for a few more evenings. As one of the heroes of the film said: "What is the ocean if not a multitude of droplets?"
