Trying to watch Cloud Atlas.

WTF?

I assume all of this clearer in the book.

It's an odd movie, that's for sure.

Dude - me too. I'm so confused!

Is there supposed to be some overarching plot that I should understand? Or just a lot of little plots?

That is what I am trying to figure out. I am not that far into it though, so maybe it makes sense later.

All of this makeup and colored contacts is freaking me out, too.

No. There won't be answers.

[zoidberg]

Well, too late now. I've already started it.

God, I love that book. I've read it multiple times because it's pretty obtuse and I get something new out of it everytime. I thought the movie was great, but my wife who hadn't read the book was like WTF did I just watch. They tried their best, but there's just too much to cover in one movie. It should have been a mini series on HBO or something.

I suspected this was the case. Without the background of the book, the movie is just a jumble of insanity.
