Re: Is Cloud Atlas Good?

One of the best films of 2012. Top 3 for Wachowskis filmography. I'm using it as the subject for my ethics class report. Give it a try. :)

I think it's as important to have a character who jumps out at the audience in terms of interest. An actor can do wonders with a phenomenal role, but if it's a terrible role in the first place,...
