MR. NOBODY


"MR. NOBODY"(2009/Belgium.Canada.France.Germany)
Synopsis
The main character, who calls himself Nemo Nobody, is a 118-year-old man, the last mortal man on earth. The days leading up to his death become the object of a reality show and are broadcast to the immortal world's population. Nemo himself says that he remembers nothing about his past and a psychiatrist tries to make him recall memories through hypnosis; other memories are told to a journalist. The whole movie is random scraps of memories of Mr. Nobody, which make up conflicting stories of his life. It is unclear which of the memories are real and which are just potential developments of Nemo's life that have not happened.
The film has a tree structure: from the birth of the protagonist, the viewer sees all the possible options for the development of his life, which generally form several "branches".

If I had a different choice at that time, I would like to get a better result for the ending. Anyone would think so.
In this movie, Nemo had experienced having several choices. He met three women and his life changed in choosing a partner. Curiously, we can see three patterns of his choices. Actually, who did he choose? I think he should have choosen HER for him to be happy. But....
I felt as if I had experienced his life through the story.
And also in this movie, nobody died a natural death in the future. But is it good for us? I think life is beautiful because there is a limit to it. That's why we can try to do whatever we can and cherish our day to day lives.
Anyway, I enjoyed the movie very much.
I just want to add one thing. Toby Regbo, who acted as the 15-year-old Nemo, is so cute and he struck my heart. Whew! :D

My rating:★★★
