The acting in this film is really brilliant, but it is definitely not a film for everyone. It jumps all around in time, and even into alternate realities based upon decisions that were never actually made.
Basically, when you think about your life and and you wonder "what if I had done this, what would be different", this film looks at those possibilities for the main character, Nemo Nobody.
It's a film you actually have to pay attention to, so for me it was tough since I usually multitask while watching movies.
I can totally understand why it has such mixed reviews on here. It's simply not for everyone.If you ever asked the question "what if...." this movie is for you - Giger
Jared Leto once again shuns the big budget flicks in light of taking on an extremely challenging and amazing role. His talent shines through amazingly well here.
If you've ever asked the question - What if I chose Path A instead of Path B, what would have happenned, this movie helps explore those possibilities.
This movie is visually stunning, and extremely thought provoking. And Sarah Polley is outstanding as well"Mr. Nobody" is about nothing but encompasses everything - napierslogs
At the beginning of "Mr. Nobody" we meet Nemo Nobody in the future as an 118-year-old man and twice in the present as his 34-year-old self, but he doesn't know, and we don't know, which life is his. The rest of the film isn't so much about figuring out which life is actually real, but that all lives of right if you choose right.
It's about life, death, birth, and everything before, after and in-between. For as weird as it sounds, it is just as weird, but it's also a beautifully realized film with elegant shots, outstanding performances, and thought-provoking dialogue. "Mr. Nobody" embodies questions of fate, lectures on physics, and space travel to Mars—there's a good reason the film is two and a half hours long. And what film wouldn't be complete without multiple loves and three wives?
"Mr. Nobody" is a remarkable film because it pretty much accomplishes all of the aforementioned concepts. It's also a really long exercise in existential philosophy with a complete time-line of one man's life in multiple dimensions. The old Mr. Nobody makes statements saying that he's a nobody but his life has been everything, and, well, this film is nothing but also everything at the same time.
