Movie Must See: Mr. Nobody (2009)

"I was unable to make a choice because I didn't know what would happen. Now that I know what will happen, I'm unable to make a choice."



Belgian director Jaco Van Dormael has been helming the sci-fi movie Mr. Nobody based on a script he wrote. The movie is starring Jared Leto in the lead role.

Nemo Nobody leads an ordinary existence at his wife’s side, Elise, and their 3 children until the day when reality skids and he wakes up as an old man in the year 2092. At 117, Mr. Nobody is both the oldest man in the world and the last mortal of a new mankind where nobody dies anymore. But that doesn’t seem to interest or bother him very much. The only questions that preoccupy him in the present is whether he lived the right life for himself, loved the woman whom he was supposed to love, and had the children whom he was meant to have… now his purpose is to find the right answer.

Best quotes:
"In life you have to make the right choice. As long as you don't choose, everything remains possible."

Young journalist: Everything you say is contradictory. You can't have been in one place and another at the same time. Of all those lives, which one is the right one?
Nemo Nobody aged 118: Each of these lives is the right one! Every path is the right path. Everything could have been everything else and it will have just as much meaning.

"I was unable to make a choice because I didn't know what would happen. Now that I know what will happen, I'm unable to make a choice."
