suomipoi Posted November 12, 2013 Posted November 12, 2013 Watched a few movies on this week that were action movies. I felt those movies were missing something fundamental. There was no feeling involved and they felt superficial. Cloud atlast was the complete opposite for me. Epic ending with so many good moral convictions at the end. I can't recommend this enough. What I noticed was that none of the characters made their moral choices based on logic but they were rathed shocked about something emotionally and that made them change their path. The movie trailer was very bad since it was missleading in my opinion. Watch the full version and you will be much better off.
_LiveFree_ Posted November 13, 2013 Posted November 13, 2013 I really like this movie. Eastern mysticism aside, it is all about morality and how the choices we make affect our lives and others. You're so right, suomipoi, that the major changes in the characters' lives came about by an awakening as opposed to a logical thought process. What's really fascinating to me is how some characters' lives changed for the worse because they were unable to break free of their thinking. I think this is why actually using logic is so powerful. We no longer need to wait for that defining moment to adjust how we live. Interesting how a story with so much Eastern mysticism would leave out the meditative path. But I guess a guy/girl sitting not doing anything wouldn't sell to a Western audience! Excellent recommendation, suimipoi!
