i can’t even begin to understand how one movie can make some think and reconsider their entire life. the whole time watching it, never once was i not enjoying it because i was wrapped up in its philosophy and the fact that it was forcing me to think about how my own life applies to the topics being addressed. the acting was outstanding which made every surreal situation become so real that even though it was a confusing and mind-bending ride, it was well worth the wait for the end. this is one of those movies i know i am never ever going to forget, hell, i am sure that i will be thinking about this movie from this day on. something, somehow, is going to trigger a thought in my head and i am going to start thinking, what is the right decision? what would happen if i did this? should i leave it to chance?
toward the end i started to legitimately consider carrying around a coin with yes and no on either side and seeing what happens if i go strictly by chance, because then, anything is possible, and therefore boredom will become something of the past.
i could literally go on and on about the philosophy brought up in this film but i am also truly mesmerized by how beautiful it all was never mind the actual story and the philosophy. i had some sort of an epiphany when young nemo was watching events unfold on an actual stage: this is why people enjoy movies, because good movies are not predictable, and therefore stimulating your brain into its never-ending curiosity of what might happen. nobody goes into a movie theatre knowing exactly what will happen, and if they do, it won’t be as enjoyable. we make decisions and choices every single day almost subconciously, so to take a break from this demanding lifestyle, we sit back, relax, and let chance take over us for the length of a movie.
mr. nobody is an absolutely phenomenal film that i know i will be watching again and again, just to be able to stop for the length of it to ponder my own reality, and lifestyle, and choices and decisions.
