Every path we choose is the right path.

The year is 2092. Nemo Nobody is the only mortal left alive, and his days are soon over. But there is no records of Nemo’s past. So he begin to tell his story; his marriage with Elise, Jean, his search for Anna and the travels to Mars. How the different choices he made in life had different outcomes. Which life is the one he really lived?

“Mr. Nobody” is a masterpiece created by Jaco Van Dormael. Not only is the story itself a masterpiece, but the cinematography exceeds by far. It’s just a joy to the eyes to watch all of its wonders. First it’s the eyes that screams with joy, then the ears bleed sugarcanes while listening to Pierre Van Dormael’s magnificent soundtrack. And then as deeper into the story we gets, it gets more intriguing and you are hooked. Because it peels of layer after layer until it reaches the core, and makes your body shiver with excitement.

The story of making impossible choices, or what consequences one choice can have really makes you think. What interest me the most is how different Nemo is depending on the choices he makes. Even though he is himself, Nemo, in every life his characteristics are so different. Is one person really that dependent on other people to shape one’s personality? It seems like so many choices made Nemo unhappy, and he can’t create his own happiness but is letting the people around him shape who he is. Do we humans really have that little force to change ourselves?

But the movie doesn’t say that there is a right or a wrong answer. It encourages people to live their life despite the choices they make, because every path we chose is the right one. Jared Leto as Nemo covers all of the feelings one can get from a choice – pleasure, pain, heartbreak, desperation, indifference and so many more. Although he only plays Nemo, he plays so many different aspects of Nemo, one can’t help but wonder over his beautiful performance.

This is a movie you can enjoy no matter how many times you watch it, because every time you watch it you realize something that you missed the last time, a clue to a story. “Mr. Nobody” is a masterpiece for ears, eyes, and your mind.
