"Mr. Nobody" is more of a philosophical film than science fiction.



In the experiment at the beginning of the film, the pigeons are placed in a small room with buttons, and when the button is pressed, food will be sent to the small room, and the pigeons can quickly learn to get food by pressing the button.



But when the button is removed and food is delivered into the cubby every twenty seconds, the pigeon will wonder what it is doing, and the food will appear.



The pigeon in the picture begins to flap its wings continuously, and it connects the flapping of the wings with the appearance of food.



In fact, in this experiment, no matter what it did, the food appeared.



The behavior of pigeons and the presence of food are two completely unrelated things.



Nemo asked at the beginning, what did I do to become like this?



Originally, when every child in heaven entered the world, they would be touched by an angel on their lips, so they would forget everything.



But Nemo was forgotten about this step, so after he was born, he had the ability to predict.



When the nine-year-old Nemo stood at the train station, the choice was to stay and live with his father, but when he and his mother went to live in a new city, the film used an interweaving method to show us the possible life after each choice.



In these different lives, he and three different women deduce different lives.



People who love each other can't be together (Anna), people he loves don't love him (Elise), people who love him he doesn't love (Jean).



Each story is presented to the audience at the age of 118, the memory of the last man who died of natural causes.



Old Nemo's memories are always fragmented, and in order to make his memories coherent, the doctor hypnotized him.



Nemo, who was sleeping, was awakened by a reporter who sneaked in and told reporters about his life.



The reporter was completely dizzy and didn't understand that this was the correct and real Nemo's life.



Old Nemo gave a sly smile and said that all of this was true. Maybe you and I don't exist, we are just constructed by a 9-year-old boy, a little boy in front of the station, facing difficult choices.



The old man pointed to the chessboard in front of him and told reporters that when faced with a difficult decision, there is a way to play, that is to stay still.



When the picture changed, the 9-year-old Nemo did not choose his father or mother, ran to the woods, a leaf floated to the sky, and landed in front of Nemo, who was waiting for Anna to appear in front of the lighthouse in the future, and finally had a happy and complete life. ending.



When 118-year-old Nemo closed his eyes peacefully and walked towards death, he called Anna's name and said that this day was his happiest day.



In one of the endings, Anna, who studies the universe and time, told Nemo, who she met on a trip to Mars, that according to calculations, in 2092, the universe will begin to collapse and time will turn back.



And when old Nemo closed his eyes, time began to turn around.
