It's confirmed. I'm neither smart or cool. I've seen none of the films on the list. Like you, I did read The Handmaiden's Tale though.
ReplyDeleteBut this is just one way to be smarter and cooler. I'm valuing many other ways ;) I do want to see some more on this list, though.
DeleteI've seen several of these and some I would never bother with (I checked a couple and they were rated one star--LOL!) Cloud Atlas was fascinating to me because of the actors playing multiple parts in multiple time periods. Odd as can be! Kind of hauntingly hung with me. I had to watch it twice to catch all the roles (looked them up on imbd to see which actors played which characters). Was interesting to me how some characters progressed or regressed over lifetimes and some didn't seem to change or learn anything--exactly how I would imagine reincarnation to be--LOL!
ReplyDeleteI read the book Cloud Atlas and found the concept annoying. I decided to skip the movie. I probably won't watch Handmaid's Tale either, but because I really enjoyed the book and don't feel the need to see a film based on it. I'm inconsistent, aren't I! lol
