Puzzled, confused, perhaps amused.

Rating: 6/10 (23 July 2010)

There is a girl i know who is very nice; I like to look at her.
However if she asks me to come to my house, and then she leaves later in the night, i feel confused, hurt. Why does she make me believe that something nicer is going to happen ? Am i really just content of staring at her for two hours, without anything really happening?
Of course you might have figured out the metaphor by now.
Mr.Nobody is a .. strange film. Strage by your most Seventh Seal-ish, obscure Svedish film standards; We are introduced to a mr. Nemo, the protagonist who, during certain stages of his life, refuses to choose when choices are necessary, and to the result that his life is fragmented into many universes, many parallel possibilities, the one where he left his girlfriend and the one where he didn't, the one where he lived with his mum and the one where he lived with his dad. In an incessant obscure-hit singles filled soundtrack, withing the first half hour we are thrown between a dozen alternate realities, some where he is a boy, some who are in a far off future.
In a series of apparently unjoined scenes, we are told a story of .. no wait; In a series of obviously joined scenes, we aren't really told anything because there is no framework into which to play a story.
Seriously .. Film 101 . You guys didn't even go to college. don't write movies. There is no discernible (keyword) plot until the very end, except for the multiple universes thing; yeah, we got that. that was the introduction. Jared Leto doesn't take charge of his(well.. non-existent)character until the last few scenes, and considering that the average scene in this film lasts under 60 seconds, you'll have a lot of head scratching to do if you want to walk out the theatre and pretend you understood any of it.
Of course the audio is perfect, the scenery, costumes, photography, everything is top notch. But if i wanted a mindf**k i would just randomly surf YouTube videos, since this film , To Me, makes about as sense as the "This IS SPARTAAA" remix video. with kitteh.
Great film to watch for the hundredth time, on late night TV, when you are not really into watching film, but a total waste of time for anyone looking for content. An orgy of superficialness.
6/10 and i'm being generous, it deserves a five.
