Cloud Atlas

Ah well I finally got to see it (a couple of weeks ago or so). I might be in danger of necroposting, but heck I couldn't comment Before I saw it really!

The movie left me a bit confused. Like, there were some bells ringing, but I couldn't quite pinpoint them, but yes I was thinking about it for several days, or more - not exactly an Avatar effect but *somewhere* along the lines.... For some reason I couldn't get Neo Seoul out of my head, it seemed to remind me of something, but can't say, what... 2154 in Avatar? the feeling was strangely familiar... Like 'a music from a dream...'

No one in RL seemed to relate actually

On one side, I am familiar with the reincarnation concept ever since I started on Buddhism in the uni, add some books on Hinduism & more modern, on past life therapy, by Brian Weiss, Michael Newton & other professionals, plus two years of PLT as a patient & now studying for a therapist... & I am convinced

On the other side, the movie left me rather depressed: so, the baddies won, everything collapsed, the radiation was growing, & it was dangerous to remain on Earth... so in order to be finally together, and happy, our heroes had to leave for a better world! My feelings precisely stop your starship, I am going with you! Only, drop me off at pandora please.

But on the other side, they did make it together at least sometimes while still on Earth - like that couple who joined the struggle for Abolitionism, so they did find a cause worth fighting for... so there is hope.

And, on a deeper side, 'the consequences of our actions go much farther than we think' is also true.

Err I don't know what to say anymore right now. Maybe I should watch it again & recheck, What bells are ringing.
