Sonmi 451 // Beauty

Inspired by Sonmi’s words from Cloud Atlas one night I put together this video using old footage from the archives that didn’t make into their final films. These words are as poignant today as they were, when the film was first released. The film also leads up to Dostoyevsky quite sometimes (not directly though)

We all have some agencies and can make a difference, but we are ourselves are responsible to assume it, and this takes courage and honesty which brings us to the purpose of art. Against eternal injustice, art offers beauty as its equally eternal antidote and Dostoyevsky writes, beauty will save the world.

Score: This Will Destroy You
