"Cloud Atlas" doesn't get enough love, IMO. The core message of the movie is basically an illustration of the interconnectedness of human lives, the nonstop teaching/learning cycle, and how karma can ripple across centuries. It could also be seen as a metaphor for the ongoing "battles" between STS and STO philosophies, summed up by two statements of philosophy that get repeated at multiple points throughout the movie. It's really an amazing work and I consider it a shame that it stayed "under the radar" despite the huge names/talent involved in making it.
