If you have reviewed almost all the creations of cinema and are now in search of something truly original and non-standard, then you should pay attention to the picture called "Mr. Nobody" (2010). The film, whose actors at that time were not very popular, their faces were not yet familiar, became a real sensation in the world of cinema. The script turned out to be atypical as well, and to such an extent that not everyone could understand it and analyze it the first time.
The film "Mr. Nobody" (2010)
Actors, or rather their selection, is a very important aspect in the cinema. Most are sure that only stars whose faces are recognizable everywhere will bring a definite success to the picture. But in some cases, little-known, but very talented artists make the director’s work much more interesting and exciting than the Hollywood icons.
So, the actors of the film "Mr. Nobody" (2010):
- Jared Leto (typical representative of non-standard films);
- Diana (or Diane) Kruger - German model and acteris;
- Pham Lin Dan - an artist from Vietnam;
- Sarah Polly - she is known mainly in Canada;
- Natasha Little is an actress known only in her homeland - in England.
In general, the film tells us about a certain Nemo Nobody (Nobody is a middle name or last name), about his life paths that exist simultaneously. As he himself says, the future depends on what choice you are making at the moment.
The feature of this film
In the film "Mr. Nobody" (2010), the actors played their characters not only in different time periods, but also in different spatial units. Here you will not find a linear storyline that tells you the story of Nemo from birth to death. His life is more like a quantum multiverse, where there are uncountable numbers of his counterparts living with different wives, having different children, houses, cars and so on. Repeatedly, the main character, as an adult, mentally goes to the past, changes one insignificant event there, and watches how this fundamentally changes his real life.
Oh yes, they completely forgot to say that the whole story of Nemo, in all its quantum varieties, is just the story of an old man, whom the main character is in 2092.
Scenario summary
So, it's time to consider the plot of "Mr. Nobody," and it begins in 2029. The entire population of the planet, except Nemo, who turns 118 years old, was immortal. They know neither love nor sex, but are only engaged in self-renewal. Mr. Nobody becomes the star of a reality show about himself, where he is trying to draw memories of the past from him, about how he lived when he was a boy, youth, man in his prime. Initially, the old man can not remember absolutely nothing, but the persistent journalist still pushes him to some thoughts that caused a whole wave, or rather waves, memories.
From this point on, the plot of the film becomes tree-like, since neither the journalist nor the viewer can understand how three Nemos can exist at the same time and what is true of all this and what is fiction.
The fact is that in childhood, Nemo's parents divorced, and he had to make a choice - to stay with dad or fly away with mom. From that moment it all began. Having flown away with his mother, he gained the love of his life. Left with his father, in one of the variations of his life, he also married his girlfriend, but she did not reciprocate. The second option in this case was the marriage of an unloved, but at the same time the main character lived in full prosperity and wealth.
Who is Nemo?
The main role in the film was played by Jared Leto - Mr. Nobody in his mature and elderly years. According to one version, a person with this name was not even born, his parents did not meet and did not get married, therefore, they could not conceive him. All those options of his life that he sees are just the visualization that his soul experiences in a non-existent reality. That is why his middle name is Nobody, and the first is Nemo, which is translated from Latin as "Nobody."
Jared summer approached this role perfectly. It combined courage and tenderness, courage and detachment. His gaze is filled with determination and at the same time the realization that he does not understand what is happening. The actor was able to get used to many roles - those vital incarnations in which Nemo turns.
Love of a lifetime - Anna
The second main role went to Diana Krueger - the actress is not too popular, but famous. Anna is the beloved girl and woman Nemo whom he meets, having decided to leave for mom. In their youth, they had a stormy romance, which ended after Anna and her father moved to New York. After, as adults, the lovers again find each other, remembering their feelings and re-building their relationship. It is interesting that earlier Diana Krueger starred in many world films, and her face was well known to the viewer. But just for the role of Anna, she was repainted in brown hair (in general, Diana is blonde). This made the film unusually mysterious and unique.
Conclusion
The tree-like plot, rare and very talented actors, the lack of linearity and - which is very important - the excellent work of costumers and decorators made the film "Mr. Nobody" a picture that exceeded all expectations. With full confidence, we can say that there is no such second one, and he cannot but be remembered even by the most demanding movie fan.
