Synopsis:
The novel, Cloud Atlas, was a 2004 best seller that used a unique "nested doll" structure for six different storylines, spanning several hundred years. Cloud Atlas: Everything Is Connected is an attempt to more closely represent the novel in its nested storyline approach, with an amazing cast including Tom Hanks, Halle Berry, Hugo Weaving, Susan Sarandon, Hugh Grant, and Jim Broadbent. It's a long movie, so sit down with your favourite drink and enjoy! :)

Intentions:
Cloud Atlas was an inspiring film, but I agree with many reviews that the movie missed its potential. It felt disjointed. The six stories kept chopping and changing between each other which made it difficult to follow if you didn't already know them. Cloud Atlas: Everything Is Connected ties all the stories together in the same fashion as the novel, and gives the viewer time to invest in each individual story, and providing more of a chance to identify the connected characters. It's still not immediately obvious though, so you need to pay attention! :)

Change List:
I lost count of how many edits were made... see the forum discussion thread for a screenshot! The intention was not to change the stories, but to present them in a better way. A few different approaches were trialled, and ultimately I chose the "nested" approach of the novel with the following chapters: 1. Intro 2. The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing (Part 1) 3. Letters from Zedelghem (Part 1) 4. Half Lives: The First Luisa Rey Mystery (Part 1) 5. The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish (Part 1) 6. The Orison of Sonmi~451 (Part 1) 7. Sloosha's Crossin' an Ev'rythin' After 8. The Orison of Sonmi~451 (Part 2) 9. The Ghastly Ordeal of Timothy Cavendish (Part 2) 10. Half Lives: The First Luisa Rey Mystery (Part 2) 11. Letters from Zedelghem (Part 2) 12. The Pacific Journal of Adam Ewing (Part 2) 13. Conclusion.
