劇情簡介

改編自大衛 · 米契爾的同名小說,由六個看似毫無關聯卻緊密連繫的故事組成,每個故事環環相扣,通過不同的方式傳承到下一個時空,影響著不同人的命運。


整齣電影跨越六個時空 ── 十九世紀的太平洋、1936 年的劍橋與愛丁堡、1973 年的三藩市、2012 年的倫敦、2144 年的首爾,以及後末日時期的夏威夷。


六個故事包括:(1) 一名「律師」在乘船返美途中差點被醫生毒殺,幸獲黑奴所救;(2) 「作曲家」讀過「律師」的日記後創作了《雲圖六重奏》;(3)「 記者」認識了曾是「作曲家」情人的科學家,科學家為揭穿陰謀被殺;「記者」獲得當年兩人的書信和《雲圖六重奏》唱片,決定代為揭露真相;(4) 一名遭護老院禁錮和虐待的「出版商」,因讀過一部關於「記者」的小說而與其他老人密謀出走,並把自己的經歷寫成劇本;(5) 「韓國複製人奴隸」看過「出版商」的電影後學會反抗和自由,發表了反抗宣言;(6) 浩劫之後,人類幾乎滅絕,倖存者過著原始生活,且把「韓國複製人奴隸」當作神一般崇拜;土著被食人族洗劫,餘下的少數生還者決定跟隨文明人一起離開地球,共渡餘生 ……

Synopsis

Based on the same name novel by David Mitchell, Cloud Atlas comprises six different yet interconnected chapters. Each of the chapters is closely linked, and the actions and consequences of individual lives impact one another.


The story takes place in various places and eras - the Pacific Ocean in the 19th century; Cambridge and Edinburgh in 1936; San Francisco in 1973; London in 2012; Seoul in 2144; and the post-apocalyptic Hawaii.


The six chapters include: (1) a “lawyer” was saved by an African slave from being poisoned by a doctor on his voyage back to the U.S.; (2) a “composer” produced the 《Cloud Atlas Sextet》 after reading the diary of the “lawyer”; (3) the scientist lover of the “composer” was killed before unveiling a conspiracy; a “journalist”, who obtained the correspondences between the couple and the vinyl record of 《Cloud Atlas Sextet》, decided to disclose the truth; (4) a “publisher”, who had suffered from nursing home abuse, colluded with other elderly in an escape after reading the story of the “journalist”; the “publisher” then wrote a screenplay based on his own experience; (5) a “Korean cloned slave”, having been inspired by the story of the “publisher”, made a public broadcast of her manifesto; (6) survivors of the post-apocalyptic era led a primitive life and worshipped the “Korean cloned slave” as the God; the indigenous tribe was nearly eliminated by the cannibals which resulted in the exile of the survivors with their civilised counterparts, and they decided to continue their lives in a distant planet……
