"Mister Nobody": reviews confirm the uniqueness of the film

In 2009, an excellent film appeared on the screen, touching the philosophical theme of choice. This picture is called "Mr. No one", reviews about it can be found very different. The main roles were played by Jared Leto (films "Patchwork", "Thin Red Line", "Urban Legends"), Diane Kruger (painting "Rewriting Beethoven" and "Treasures of the Nation: Book of Secrets"), Sarah Polly (last works - Beowulf and Grendel "," Chimera ") and other beautiful actors.

Excellent story, good actors, direction - this can all be said about the film "Mr. Nobody". Comments and comments from well-known representatives of the world of Russian show business are just confirm. Although the tape did not have tremendous fees at the box office either in Russia or abroad.

But, looking for the first time the film "Mr. Nobody", it is better not to read reviews beforehand, because this film leaves ambiguous impressions after itself and makes the viewer think about the questions posed in it. But what did the director Jacques Van Dormel decide to convey to the people who saw his work? What questions does he ask the audience about, what does an ordinary man want to make himself think about? Everyone, having looked at this film, must decide for himself what is more important in the picture: love, the question of choice, fate, freedom or, perhaps, another topic that is visible only to him alone.

On the one hand, the plot of the film is simple enough and straightforward and can be told in just a few sentences, but at the same time is so complicated that its retelling can take more than one page. At the heart of the picture "Mr. Nobody" is a fantastic story about an old man named Nemo, who turns 118 years old, and he wants to live up to the moment when the universe begins to shrink in order to gain freedom. The action of the film occurs in several time layers, and the viewer becomes more and more tangled with every minute, not understanding what happened in reality, and what is fiction, an unextended variant of life or the imagination of the protagonist. Who tells the story: an old man lying on a cot in the hospital and become the protagonist of a reality show for the immortals, or a small 9-year-old boy who can not choose between the mother throwing the family and the father? Or maybe it's memories of the upcoming events of an unborn child? And yet the story can be divided into three main branches, which follow from the events that happened to Little Nobody, after he made a choice between the mother and the father. It is to this nodal point that the film constantly brings back the viewer, and it is one of the last scenes shown in the tape.

The film is structurally similar to a small trickle, flowing forward and branching, but not filled with water, but with various possible events that were, are, or can happen. And the hero does not remember the past, regretting the unextinguished possibilities, or twisting these possibilities in his imagination, frozen in the point of choice. The tape never gives an unambiguous answer to the questions posed by the screenwriter and director and does not explain the events taking place in the film "Mr. Nobody". The reviews of the viewers also do not give the same answers. But one can take out of the picture viewing with confidence: the story Nobody in all the variants shown is a story about the search for love and happiness, about the eternal and simple values of life that all seek to find.

The film is difficult to understand primarily by the fact that it does not provide answers to the questions that arise from the viewers. It is not intended to be used as an example or guide to action, nor is it intended to inspire the viewer or to direct it to any path. This tape makes a person think, seek their meaning, their explanation of everything that happens with Nemo. That is why the picture "Mr. Nobody" reviews viewers so diverse and ambiguous: each person has his own opinion and important topics for him, affected by the film. And to read someone else's opinion about the film before watching it means losing the opportunity to form an understanding of this film.
