The tape about the reincarnation of the soul - "Cloud Atlas". Actors who told the whole world the story of the responsibility of man for his future

In 2012, one of the most notable films in the history of cinema was released. The three-hour blockbuster impressed viewers with a star composition and a unique plastic make-up, which radically changed the familiar images of favorite actors. The screen version of the novel by British writer D. Mitchell aroused controversy among critics and unfairly failed in the world box office, although in Russia the tape was considered a record-holder in attendance.

The story of the reincarnation of the soul

The film "Cloud Atlas", made up of a lot of noise, the actors of which reincarnated through a complex makeup in different characters, told a surprisingly beautiful story about reincarnation. For two years writers worked, taking into account all the wishes of the author of the book and combining six novels with a separate story line into a single whole.

Complex literary composition was successfully transferred to the big screen, and, as they said on the sidelines of the cinema, the editor for the brilliant work relied on the deserved "Oscar". In front of astonished spectators, he presented a large-scale "Cloud Atlas" as a real kaleidoscope. Actors, changing to a complete unrecognizability, moved from one era to another, emphasizing the main idea of the film about the transmigration of souls.

Six parallel stories

The amazing directorial triumvirate of Tom Tykwer, Andy and Lana Wachowski, who worked in the same team, did not take the chronology of the novel as the basis, choosing an intricate way with a demonstration of parallel moving six stories. Subordinate to a common concept, all novels are filmed in different styles, corresponding to the era - from the past centuries to the distant futuristic future. In the closely intertwined stories that form a single epic drama, stars of the first magnitude participated.

Experiment in the world of cinema

The actors of the film "Cloud Atlas" played in an exquisitely delivered film-experiment, which traces the basic idea that everything in our life is interconnected. Each character that appears repeatedly, depicts different reincarnations of one soul. The tape treats the ongoing stories with a person as a chain of actions, the origins of which come from past times and affect our future.

In the film, which is a life mosaic, played a terrific cast. The stunned artists admitted that they did not always understand who they were dealing with on the set, and only in the final shots did it become clear who had played whom.

All actors can be called real heroes, because to sit for several hours, waiting for the end of a complex makeup for the sake of a small episode, it was incredibly difficult.

Tom Hanks, along with his characters, lived a five-century journey, telling the story of a single human soul that had passed from a murderer to a hero who gave hope to all of humanity. Critics once again stressed his amazing acting data, which allowed him to reincarnate and masterfully convey to the audience all the emotions raging inside such different heroes.

The character of Tom tells the whole complicated story to his grandchildren, who are on a distant planet from the Earth. Frighteningly accurate, Hanks gets used to every image, passing the correction of the soul of a person, about which so much tells the "Cloud Atlas". Actors, an amazing game that everyone celebrated, showed their artistic talents, representing completely different characters in different time intervals.

The aristocratic Hugh Grant turns out to be in the epos a real villain, whose dark interior does not change with different epochs. Handsome with delicate features even was glad to get rid of in the "Cloud Atlas" from the habitual image of the indecipherable female lover, where the make-up masters, as they say, "broke away" in full.

Incredible Halle Berry, whose characters are charming and expressive, inspires and sacrifices themselves. She even turns into a one-eyed professor, who does not know a Hollywood favorite.

Large-scale epic

In the history of German cinema, the most expensive epic film "Cloud Atlas" became the most expensive. Actors and roles for them were carefully selected by directors who wanted to decorate an unusual picture with serious stars. Unfortunately, the film that failed to be accepted in the global box office failed, not having paid off the investment of 100 million dollars. Directors went independent ways, not focusing on Hollywood stamps and high ratings, but nevertheless the display of a large-scale tape was a bright event in the world of cinema.

Clever and profound film "Cloud Atlas", whose actors have successfully coped with the task assigned to them, tells us that what is happening in the world depends on ourselves. Our ill-considered or measured actions, hasty or verified decisions affect not only the present, but the future. And most importantly - do not destroy the natural balance, so as not to end up on a distant planet.
