I read that it will most likely be a box office failure. With all these dessicated remakes, superhero CGI messes, or teenagers being butchered for fun films being churned out from Hollywood on a regular basis- skipping character for noisy spectacle- a movie like Cloud Atlas deserves attention. It deserves this because it is daring and bold. It doesn't make itself easy for the audience. But it is never boring. Our 'widdle' brain is being assaulted in a multitude of fashions, challenging it as our eyes fill with the flickering images on the screen. It may require a second viewing to put all the pieces together, to notice the connections of one character in one story line that connect to another character in a different story line. That is part of the fun of this film. There comes a very rich reward toward the end, when everything pulls together in amazing fashion that is bolstered by the slowly building, Bolero-like, crescendo of music that you listen to via this thread. And every time you do, an orphan will get a bowl of gruel. For those who are enjoying this music- please go see the film. I read that it will most likely be a box office failure.

However, I think everyone should keep an open perspective about the box office. Americans usually don't do movies like this... It was never going to do big numbers in this country. The film is going to do a lot better internationally, especially Asia, parts of Europe and Russia than it could ever hope to do in America. It's an independent film as well, so it won't have to make double to break even. I think those who invested will get back most if not all they put in and we also have a truly great film to show for it that will continue to have a following for years to come. I find the trailer intoxicating. I think the critics are welcome to comment on the film but give the audience more credit for having brain stems. Many of us are starved for some new and something where we are mystified and ponder along the way. This is that film. It is such a rewarding experience. It has haunted me since I saw it days ago. I think about life in a different way. How many films have that effect? The film remains Number Two in the American box office, yet this is considered a failure? I wish they would stop counting numbers and just promote this as an exciting, challenging, new film experience. Music that, like the film, makes you glad to be part of the human experience no matter what. I would also like to echo Phideas1's pleas for everyone to see the film. Do so on the largest screen you can find and let it wash over you. Action, romance, comedy, tragedy, adventure, horror -- they're all there. THE best time I've had at the theatre this year, period. This is a film to be experienced. No matter how it does in theaters.... This film is so many genres. Not a science fiction film in the pure sense but a thriller, a comedy, a Gothic romance, a horror story. People will want to know how this was made. Watch over and over again. Contemplate its message s or simply enjoy, as Hugh Grant said, 'the roller coaster ride'. I have not gone to the cinema since seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. I am so glad I saw Cloud Atlas on the big screen. It is a big movie. And hey, any film that is book-ended by the story of a composer and his sextet is a treat right there. So for folks who have to wait to see the film at least you have the music. Listening to it from this thread has been a delight. However I will buy the compact disc as well. Looks like we are connected around this globe in this time as well. Prelude: The Atlas March 02. Cloud Atlas Opening Title 03. Travel To Edinburgh 04. Cavendish In Distress 06.

Enjoy and say thank you It's months that I have it both in FLAC and 320 and not from Pirate Bay... Have a Good Sunday... I will send him next week.... That's the reason also I post mostly under P. I spend time to reply, but I'm well organized.... Most of the time posters who use P. I know forget people, and send 3 P. Is not a question of jealousy believe me I real don't care... I rarely watch the views I done... I have a list of Re-Up to do... But I'm of those who can tell the difference inside a 160 K file and FLAC.... I suggest them to start to change their stereo is more easy than change a pair of ear. So I will wait for the DVD certainly before X-Mass...
