Cloud Atlas is a wonderful film. It reflects the humanity that survives different eras, different races and different social boundaries. We have to do what we cannot do, in order to put an end to abusive power and tell the truth, despite the cost and challenges to do so. It also explores the connectivity between people. As Somni-451, a human fabricant in the story, said, “Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.”

Yes! I think this quote can be interpreted in two ways...one being that we have to depend on each other for a greater goal, and another being that we cannot maintain full control of our lives, but instead dominated by those who are more powerful...either way, I really like the strong concept of karma in this movie!
