Just awesome

Rating: 10/10 (29 December 2014)

In this film we see 118 year old man as the last mortal on earth being asked to recall who he was, what he did in his life. Then the story begins; its about a man called Nemo Nobody and the life he has or might have if he makes a certain decision. Should he choose his mother and run to catch the train? Should he choose his father and stay? As long as he doesn't make a choice there are many possible lives he can have. Another question is: Which is the right one?
In this theme director Jaco van Dormael presents the butterfly effect, the paradox of theory and the chaos theory more than perfectly. We see a man go with his father meet the love of his life and push her away by saying something stupid and meet her accidentally in a train station, and on the other hand he says the right thing, they fall in love when their parents get together, lose each other because their parents split up, and meet again after 20 years of searching for one another without thinking about career and success. If he goes with his dad there is another sequence of events. He meets Elise, and they marry each other; She might die on an accident and he ends up going to mars to carry out his promise or they have 3 children but he is not happy because his wife is depressed. Else he doesn't go with Elise but he marries Jean without any love but becomes powerful and rich, he "reaches the top". So Nemo is in an impossible dilemma which life to choose. This dilemma he overcomes with the opinion that "every path is the right path".
Mr Nobody is a film that can make you talk about it for days. Its meaning, its ending, the choices he can make. It makes you wonder about all the decisions you made in your life and puts a lot of ifs in your mind. It's surreal in a very beautiful way, dramatic and breath- taking when it should be and not excessively touching. The director did an outstanding work and Jared Leto's performance was admirable.
If you find it boring go watch some james bond. Pure 10/10 and in the list of my favourite movies
