"Mr. Nobody" is a movie about the possibilities and the choices we make in our lives. The film is absolutely believable even though most of the plot turns out to be child's fantasy. Different stories are mixed very well. Even though one can predict the wanted effect was to confuse the audience it isn't in a naive way. The viewer feels something strange is going on but doesn't know what exactly until the end. The leading idea that I saw wasn't "what happens to the characters" but what would be different in my life if for example 20 years ago i didn't take the train but the bus. "What if"... what if I woke up 2 hours earlier today, what if I decided to walk to work, would I meet the love of my life? Is that chance lost for good? Or maybe according to the choices we make different people are meant for us? Does our path change it's direction every time we make a choice? Or nevertheless what we decide it leads us to one destination in the end? Am I a person who takes decisions and is responsible for them? Or do my decisions form me as one? Am I somebody or nobody? "Mr. Nobody" is one of those movies that doesn't give you the answers, but the questions. It doesn't try to convince you in it's truths it just makes you wanna find yours. Even more it makes you wonder if there is any truth or false or does it all depend on what you choose.
