Good movie, but best of all time? Hardly . . .

A waste of 90 minutes of my life

If you like to be scared, if you like to laugh, and if you like to learn a thing or two at the movies, this absolutely cannot be missed.

Mostly, the movie is committed to the value of a good time.

I thought the movie was just really weird the first time I watched it. Years later Since it came out on netflix I decided to watch it again...I dont' know how it confused me so much the first time around. Its open to interpretation as well...especially the ending.I believe that we are watching in infinite loop of the universe but each time it resets, Nemo chooses a different path so that at the end it is clear that we are watching the universe over the infinity of its existence of expanding and contracting. In some timelines they go to mars..in others the human race becomes immortal...that is if you can call it immortal carrying around a cloned pig...but anyways. Its seperate from the theory that each action happens in its own universe..because in this universe everything eventually happens

It is an over 2 hour movie and the plot is very slow. Obviously not a good combination. The end gives a reason to all of this parallel lifes nonsense, but still ....BORING!

Mr. Nobody is a movie " sci-fi" which I think is not intended to be a sci-fi movie. Well , the film is directed by Jaco van Dormael , a Belgian director who is actually (just like Richard Kelly, director Donnie Darko), in my opinion, can always release a " one-hit wonder". In addition, the film is also filled by a unique cast-full of variations and as if random; starting from the 30 Seconds to Mars vocalist Jared Leto, who desperately deserve the main role as Nemo Nobody, and Diane Kruger as Anna, her true love Nemo,. Judging from the cast- it is somewhat random, but apparently there is a purpose behind it all. Nemo narrates a voyage through several permutations of his life, following alternate paths. He chooses to grow up with each of his divorcing parents (Natasha Little and Rhys Ifans); has three separate and mutually canceling lifelong romances (Juno Temple grows into Diane Kruger; Clare Stone becomes Sarah Polley; Audrey Giacomini becomes Linh Dam Pham); and experiences various brushes with death. As if the Cloud Atlas-level juggling act weren't enough, Belgian writer-director Jaco Van Dormael throws in a hypnosis conceit and, courtesy of Nemo's sometime work as a writer, fiction within the fiction. In one iteration, Nemo appears as a TV scientist who lectures on string theory and entropy. The character's name alludes to both Jules Verne and The Odyssey, but Mr. Nobody's expansive literary ambitions turn out to have a powerful ordering principle: sentimentality.Well, in outline, Mr. Nobody actually tells about probability and parallel timeline . Wait! The outline was withdrawn by ignoring the final conclusion of the film. The plot in this movie actually does not start at the beginning of the movie, but after entering the teenage. It is said that Nemo Nobody's life was filled with choices, even since he was still not born. Because of " Butterfly Effect" , Nemo was finally born in all choices and probabilities. Nemo himself said, " It's hard to choose, " but eventually he came to his own conclusion, "As long as you do not choose, everything remains possible. "It's a "must see" film for every film lover. Especially the smart ones.

Listen up. If you want to watch a intellectually stimulating film with a very unorthodox structure, watch Memento. If you want to watch a sad surreal film, watch Synecdoche, New York. If you want to watch a happy surreal film, watch The Grand Budapest hotel.This is one of the coolest concepts of storytelling ever. Unfortunately, it is executed badly.First let me state the good things about this movie. It has a very cool concept. It has very pretty cinematography. Some of the shots are beautiful and creative. Some of the acting is nice at certain parts. And I have to admit, it is quite unique. A lot of it is just pretentious nothing, but some of it is quite unique.Now the bad things.Firstly, there is so much just random stuff that has nothing to do with anything. Why is he explaining the butterfly effect? Why are they talking about pigeon experiments? What's with the angels and the babies? Why the hell can he see into the future? Why does the model version of the world in his room match perfectly with the real world? Why are all the endings of the timelines shown at the beginning? How does any of this change or impact the emotional value of the movie anyway?The movie doesn't really start until thirty minutes into the movie, when he's running after his mother in the train. It is prefaced with thirty actual minutes of just nonsense that is simply there to confuse you and make you think there is symbolic meaning behind it or some shit. Once it does start, it's....... bad. Nemo has almost zero character at all, in every single timeline. The tiny bit of characterization that they give him makes him very unlikeable. He pretends to kill himself so much that his mother isn't even surprised anymore. This is supposed to make me like him? He "falls in love" with people through a montage of slow motion shots of them looking pretty instead of actually having a natural conversation or having any chemistry at all. The plots don't have any direction. You just kind of watch his life happen. There is no goal he is trying to reach or problem he is trying to over come. There isn't really a "point" to the story. Sometimes this works fine, like in Forrest Gump. But that was a masterfully written script that is so engaging that it manages to pull it off. This movies does not. For the most part the acting is passable for the adult actors. The same cannot be said about the child actors. They are bad. Very bad.You know how this film could be fixed? Cut out all the philosophical garbage. Cut out the plot line in the future where he's old. Don't spend so much time explaining to the audience the concept of the movie and just show them the actual movie. Stop explaining how the story had multiple timelines and they are all just as real as one another. Make Nemo a normal kid who doesn't see into the future. Switch between the different branches of the story in a clear and consistent way where the audience knows what timeline they are in at all times. And most importantly of all: Tell the story of a (relatively) normal person that branches out into several wildly different but all (relatively) normal storylines. If you want to tie several timelines together in a cathartic way, do it subtly, through music and editing.The bottom line is that this movie is very pretentious and squanders a perfectly good concept.
