Now this never would have worked if the acting was bad and the makeup was bad-but they really shine in this film. This provides the actors a chance to show off their talents-especially because many times they need to effect accents and/or play the opposite gender!! Yes, most of the main cast members play men AND women. The stars of the film all play multiple roles and you'll see many of them in many stories. Despite being confusing and hard to grasp, the film has several things I loved. However, many will get frustrated because for some time, the film doesn't give you a lot of clues at to what it all means. Why and what these plots all have to do with each other is something the audience is left to discover or create within themselves. And, instead of being told in sequence, they are interlaced throughout the film. The film consists of many different stories that all occur many different times in history (both in the past and very distant future). It's a shame really, as the film does have some nice thing to offer.though overall, it was a problematic film to watch. Much of the high cost is undoubtedly due to the cast-as the film boasts some famous and high-paid actors (including Tom Hanks and Halle Berry). At nearly three hours long AND with a strange and difficult to comprehend plot, I can see exactly why "Cloud Atlas" lost a ton of money.

Anyone in the Arabian Desert, who encounters seemingly wild dromedaries can, therefore, rest assured that they belong to a proud owner somewhere not far away. Their natural habitats once included large parts of Asia and Africa, but as wild animals, the dromedaries have long since become extinct and nowadays they are found exclusively as domesticated animals or livestock. However, both belong to the camel family and therefore, a dromedary is always and above all a camel. The one-humped Camelus Dromedarius differs quite clearly from its two-humped cousin, the Bactrian Camel. The Arabian camel is the undisputed favorite animal of the populations of the Arab world, and strictly speaking, it is called Dromedary Camel or Camelus Dromedarius. |
