I will be analyzing Cloud Atlas, Run Lola Run, and
Perfume The story of a Murderer, these are three films that tom Tykwer made and
added in his special flare. To me the main theme that all three films have in
common is the hate or the distrust in the world and how it is always changing
but equally the same. Another theme I noticed is how each person in these films
deals with chance, that deals with the future like how the next events will affect
the next couple actions. Last would have to be death or just loss in general. In
Cloud Atlas you follow six different lives spread between 200 years. In each
one they are making huge change and decisions that will affect their lives. In each
one also there is death or loss. People are being killed my natives or shot in
the head. This film shows how no matter when you live, freedom is never free
and death is never easy. I feel like in Run Lola Run you see this also. Not
only does death follow them in the end but it’s the amount of strategy to live,
to survive. One wrong move and you’re gone. Perfume has the most death of
course but the murders aren’t what make this movie similar. These women died
for their scent but that main death is the things that die in himself. Jean-Baptiste
Has been alone and unloved his whole life. Never been given love and never
really taken care of. He is never taught and through his life his hatred only
grows more. At the end all he craves is death. All of these movies have similar
themes but are all shot completely differently. Before this assignment I would
have never knows these films for done by the same man.
This was a very tricky book to read. I never felt attacked to the main character and I think that is that point. He is to himself a god. He only sees himself in this world and what he wants. He does not take no for an answer and thinks money is the answer to everything. The book keeps you in his car the most and you see all he has all the electronics and computers and the people that come to him never the opposite. I don’t see him as privileged I see him as someone who has worked hard and knows what he wants. he is numb to people and their problems be cease they are not his own. Of course this mind set harms him and his stalker wants to kill him. Because of his private and his money, he can easily ignore it until he can’t. I thin k he learns he can’t hide behind money and even though he can hide in his limo the world continues, something I think he easily forgets about. this book teaches you that you cant hide and privlage can not protect you.
