It's been a while since I've explained about our Friday Movie post. See, back when I was still a TA and a research assistant at UCLA, we used to sneak out on Fridays for after movies. With premiums happening at the time there and like with about ten or so theaters, you get a wide range of selections of movies.
Awesome time. Obviously, can't do that no more. However, I've decided to bring this tradition via Friday trailer or shorts. And this, it's from Cloud Atlas (wiki) starring all time favorite actor, Tom Hank, based on a book by the same title.
It's a series of stories that are intertwined and about how it affects. According to Wikipedia, the plot for the novel "...consists of six nested stories that take the reader from the remote South Pacific in the nineteenth century to a distant, post-apocalyptic future. Each tale is revealed to be a story that is read (or observed) by the main character in the next. All stories but the last are interrupted at some moment, and after the sixth story concludes at the center of the book, the novel "goes back" in time, "closing" each story as the book progresses in terms of pages but regresses in terms of the historical period in which the action takes place. Eventually, readers end where they started, with Adam Ewing in the Pacific Ocean, circa 1850."
I think it's one of things where you have to read the book too, which I am considering doing this weekend. Well, enjoy the movie below!
Looking forward to the movie in October!
