Cloud Atlas- An Angry Author Throws a Critic Off the Roof Clip (HD)

Dermot Hoggins, author of Knuckle Sandwich, is angered about a critic's review from making the public buy his book.

[@kierandavis8054]

I was NOT expecting that to happen when I first saw the movie, It was probably the first time I have ever seen a movie where you actually see someone LAND after falling from a high height. XP

[@theroleplayinggamer837]

Kieran Davis It was also frightening to see the blood spatter everywhere and hear the car alarm go off.

Tom Hanks said this was his favourite character to play because he "throws a critic to a horrible crushing death." XD

[@AliG6252010]

Oh god I can't think of something clever to say right now except, Tom hanks just killed a man and he's one of the nicest guys in Hollywood.

Wait...wtf ...that was him? :0

[@hugmynutus]

As celebrated of an actor as Hanks is, this movie really showcases how impressive his range is.

[@bradrly1872]

Does it..?

[@666Lilie666]

Maybe this scene was the reason so many critics hated "Cloud Atlas" ^^

[@TheLongasen]

StartingPosthuman perhaps those writers should have a chat with Dermot Hoggins haha

@@MarsFKA Whoever said that is wrong.

[@MarsFKA]

@Monster in the Bassment Which you read. LOL.

[@waverlyking6045]

Roger Ebert loved it.

[@georgeofhamilton]

I wasn’t expecting such a brutal death in an elegant movie like this.

[@VOLKHVORONOVICH]

That death is incredibly elegant.

[@MmagicVFX]

This is a simple but very shocking scene thanks to the perfect balance between gore and psychological aspect. I LOOOOOOVE THAT !!!

[@Paraprax]

Even in a brief, scenery-chewing role like this, Hanks works in his brilliance - check out the shot at 0:45 and the look on his face after Finch's scathingly hurtful insult and the crowd's reaction. Up until that point, I think Hoggins was probably just planning to deck him or something, but in that moment you can really feel him break and then decide(at 0:55) he's going to murder the guy. Powerful moment in keeping with the weight of the overall film, in this otherwise mostly dark-comic scene.

[@mangaas]

That was SO unrealistic... the guy manages to turn off his car alarm within SECONDS of it going off - bullshit!

[@dchappell07]

I love how his overly-pretentious scarf floats down behind him when he hits the ground. Haha

[@cyberneticorganismskynet]

I thought I was the only one

[@srvaudiau]

Considering how successful Knuckle Sandwich became after he threw the critic off the roof. Nobody liked or missed that critic.

[@bcdside]

I’ve worked as a critic, and I approve this scene! 😘

[@behrooz4]

This is pure fucking genius. I'm almost ashamed to say I laughed so hard the first time I saw it. Then I was like, that's fucked up. Why am I laughing?

[@teemacmb8090]

America's sweet heart throwing a guy off the roof really messed me up dam Tom hanks lol

[@aaa8181]

This is, to say the least, hilariously shocking.

[@timbuckthe2nd642]

If you're an artist who's had their work utterly destroyed by a critic you've definitely had this fantasy more than once!

[@garethsavage6793]

first time i saw this i was in the theater, high off my ass. i was extremely disturbed for about the next half hour. this scene is quite horrific.

[@alexandercline1722]

Agreed. I was high on acid the first time I watched this movie-my friends thought it would be a great idea-and this scene just left me so uncomfortable. It’s stuck with me to this day actually, hence why I’m commenting on this 7 years later lol. Hope all is well.

[@dickslap37]

@@alexandercline1722 7 years later all is very well. I was about 21 years old at the time I made this comment. Cloud atlas is still one of my favorites. Thank you.

[@MunirMatsuo]

@dickslap37 I was also disturbed since you don’t really see someone in a movie splash on the ground very often. Its not the typical Hollywood-violent-free-mambo jambo. But I was really surprised that the movie was allowed for 12-year olds. I watched the film when I was thirteen. I was shocked and fascinated at the when I came out of the cinema. I love this film. And this is exactly what a good film should make you feel: Happiness, Fascination and Horror at the same time. The most important thing is that the movie makes you think and use your head. Its still underrated and mostly undiscovered by the general public :-(
