It was already around 3:00 a.m. when the movie of No Name ended. I don't know if it was because of the low pressure before the rain or other reasons. The air in the room was unusually dignified. Credit rolled slowly to the sound of Pierre Van Dormael's guitar. The feeling of déjà vu suddenly came up: on a sultry summer night, I also sat in the sound of the lazy acoustic guitar, trying to forget my empty life, trying to imprison my body and mind. This fantastic night. I can even remember the smell, the smell of pollen and beer, the smell of summer, and the color of the 40W light bulb, the faint sound of laughter and the collision of wine glasses, but I can't piece together a complete memory, There are only these fragmentary details, the ups and downs are unpredictable... "Deja-vu" it's just, hehe, I think of the metaphors that appear countless times in this film.
The film "Mr.Nobody" is very informative. In just 150 minutes, the film cites "Entropy", "Time Nonlinearity", "Superstring Theory", "Butterfly Effect", "Pigeon Superstition", etc. There are countless theories with a strong academic taste. The span covers almost half of the scientific community. In these 2 and a half hours of bombardment of information, amazing editing and music, such a complex film has become so simple, clean and transparent, I have to admire the director's ability to summarize.
The film is like a tree whose growth process is accelerated, and new branches will continue to branch out from a certain trunk, which will continue to repeat. It constantly emphasizes the interaction between "time" and "space". At the beginning of the whole film, when Nemo was born, the director emphasized that Nemo was not erased by angels. When I started, the concept of "memory" was very complicated, because Nemo had not made any Choice, which means that the concept of "memory" here covers countless possibilities, and at the same time, it is also the foundation for the growth of this "big tree". On this basis, Nemo's life has various branch options. The director tries his best to distinguish the results of each possibility, and each possibility has a deeper metaphor in my opinion. . To a large extent, the film is about "love". To put it more clearly, it is the meaning and influence of the three girls Jean, Elis, and Anna on Nemo's life. Every time Nemo makes a choice about love, it basically builds the lush branches of this "uncle".
The first is Elis. I personally think that the core idea represented by Elis is "love at first sight", "pursuit without consideration of consequences", and "one-way" love. At the 15-year-old party, Nemo fell in love with Elis the moment he saw her. And of all the possibilities with Elis, the tone of Nemo's life is all dark and depressing. Because in his choice, even if there is no fuel tanker explosion, even if Elis does not leave, his life is only to break the dream, smash his ideal love and see the reality, after being treated by Elis to him It means that the truth revealed by the beautiful time of love is ruthlessly pierced, and he finally realizes that it is impossible for him to get the true love of Elis. Perhaps in this trunk, the most beautiful branch is that Elis died in an explosion. It was an accident. All the happiness was condensed in Nemo's heart at that moment. When he scatters Elis' ashes on the surface of Mars as promised, it was considered a kind of consummation.
The second is Jean. The core idea represented by Jean is "extremely impulsive love", "reverse judgment love" and "failed marriage". The branches with Jean all originated from Nemo's sentence "I gonna marry the first girl who dance with me tonight." The result is obvious, Nemo has no feelings for Jean, no matter how good and rich life is on the surface, no matter how beautiful and rich Jean is How deep is Nemo's feelings. Nemo chose to leave after numerous suicide attempts. (Shooting)
Finally, Anna, the love represented by the character Anna seems to be clean and beautiful, but in fact it has multiple meanings. On the surface, Anna represents the perfection of "never betray", "childhood sweetheart" and "staying together forever" Love. Under the entanglement of multiple branches, Anna and Nemo could not come together for some reason. Moreover, Anna's branches were also interspersed in the trunk of Jean and Elis from time to time. The director successfully buried it for us subconsciously. The idea of "if you choose Anna, you'll get true love", but here comes the deeper meaning of Anna. In my opinion, what Anna really represents is "ideal love", in other words, "love that doesn't exist". Even in the branch where Nemo stayed in the lighthouse for many years and finally waited for true love, the premise was that Nemo did not choose his father or follow his mother, and indeed ran into the woods by himself, a long shot of a maple leaf, and finally the maple leaf fell into Nemo and painted on the floor. The white circle, the two meet, the perfect ending. However, if we look back and think about it, if Nemo hadn't considered either of his parents, he and Anna wouldn't have had the childhood sweetheart love, and at the same time, they would have cut off the tree branch that kept the lighthouse together. In other words, the probability of that perfect ending is 0, which means it doesn't exist.
Of course, the depth of Mr.Nobody cannot be included in my hasty summary, but it is also a personal insight. After all, in the stories of Anna, Jean, and Elis, they all resonated with the protagonists. I have also struggled in the shadow of "Elis is in love", and also wandered in "Jean-style love", although "Anna-style love" is too ethereal, but I can still find myself in those beautiful fragments shadow. Including relatives and friends around me, I can also find their shadows from the branches.
I remember that my aunt told me before the divorce that she and a college classmate had loved each other for a long time. Because he was not a Han Chinese, my grandfather cut off the marriage of the two mercilessly, so my aunt impulsively married someone who was not a Han Chinese. People who have never loved, in her words: "If your grandfather doesn't get the love I want, I will choose the love I least want." She read the wedding night under the soaking of tears, After so many years, she had a daughter and a family, but her aunt still called the former him from time to time. He told her aunt that he had never been married, and that he would keep waiting... Maybe it was unbearable. This kind of heart-breaking life, my aunt finally pushed her impulse and anger choice to the road of divorce. I don't know what the back story is like. I rarely contact my aunt after going abroad, and I don't want to know what the result will be, because life is not a novel or a movie. No one has ever done such a silly thing as pursuing the so-called love. I myself once took a train back to another city to find the person who made me fall in love at first sight 10 years ago, and I once paid for someone who didn’t love me. Everything, until I finally realized after seeing her come together with countless people, she will never be able to fall in love with me. I used to be stubborn with someone, but I reluctantly chose to leave, because the impulse to be together in the first place would not bear fruit.
what's the result? Faced with choices in life, it is impossible for me to predict the future. If there is really some kind of forgotten angel, the angel must have used double the dose to make me forget everything completely, and I will encounter obstacles everywhere when I come to this world. There is a clip in the film. In the story of Nemo and Anna, he took the train every day to a certain station to wait for her to appear. Until one morning, he really waited for Anna as he wished, and the two embraced, kiss. When I saw that clip, I didn't know what was going on and the tears came up all of a sudden. The last time I cried happily seems to have happened almost 3 years ago. Although the story is so unreal, I really want to be happy for them, maybe "Deja-vu"? Ha ha. I can't say it
anyway, I haven't written a film review for a long time, everyone is sorry for the blunt writing, and finally sent a famous quote from García Márquez.
The things written on this sheepskin manuscript have never been and will never be repeated.
