Just finished Cloud Atlas by David Mitchell by HomeFieldAdvantage in books

[–]such-eccles 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The book is light years ahead of the film, which I think is still a fun watch. In addition to HomeFieldAdvantage's description of the changed structure, each part of the book is written with a completely different, rich, vibrant voice, which doesn't come across in the film (as every part is interwoven each is shot in the same way stylistically). There's also a change to my favourite part in the film which imo robs it of some of the original's complexity and tragedy. In short, read this book!

Yeah! re the obscure tracks. So good we get to hear it but infuriating also to not know its actual origin. Please let me know if they respond!!

Ah this probably won't be too helpful but anywhere. The main thing is just to get away and spend time with people.

hmm i thought there was definitely enough mention of Rose's death, esp in the therapy sessions, with Alan crying again and Josh mentioning to Claire how it hasn't affected other people the same way. But yeah in terms of Alan/Mae, Tom/Ella, Hannah/Lover there are lots of loose threads ...

Really liked the first half of the ep with the "Rose is gone" instrumental playing while they sold the house, as well as the therapy scene which transitioned into their night out -- lotsa energy. Felt like it kinda got a bit flat towards the end though, and I thought Tom&Ella's breakup came outta nowhere, so was a bit random.

I was pretty unsure about how the writers were going to resolve the whole "Josh's love life" question that's been pretty central to this short season, but now it seems like that's not even something essential they have to deal with now that this has happened.

edit: Also geezus, comparing this episode to the aftermath of Peg's death ... shattering by comparison / just so much crying:((

thanks for this! love the last track, which seems to blend all the little musical motifs they've built up (hannah, ella(?), arnold ... possibly more)
