"Life is a playground, otherwise it's meaningless"

The following is my personal understanding:

The film focuses on the memories of Nemo Nobody, the last native of 2092. Although it is a memory, I don't think it is Nemo's past. Nemo's memory was carried out under bald hypnosis and interviews with college students. Nemo has the ability to predict the future, he can judge the direction of the development of things, so I think all the so-called memories of these are the predictions of the future made by Nemo when he was nine years old (that is, when his parents divorced), he is afraid of various things In the end, he chose the most stable and mediocre timeline. He reflected on his life in old age and made a judgment on the meaning of life: "Every path is the right path, and everything can be Another kind of appearance, and it has the same significance." He is Nemo Nobody, a person without a surname, a person who does not play any role, has no influence on others, and can even be said to be dispensable, although he is A "person" by definition after the Renaissance and the Enlightenment. Although the maple leaf in his hand at the age of nine finally drifted to the timeline where Anna was located, I think it was a hope for the development of life in his old age, not the real direction of history. It was his desire. He and Anna The love finally failed. At the end of the story, the universe begins to go backwards (sorry, I can't remember the terminology), begins to return to the beginning of history, and time begins to cycle again. Here I think it's the producer's expectation of reality, or something else (I don't understand it properly here).

"Life is a playground, otherwise it's meaningless. Every path is the right path, and everything can be different and have equal significance!" Just like the understanding of literature, there are no absolutes. Correct, all understandings are correct, where are there any wrong decisions, wrong understandings; everything we experience determines our choices and thinking, and people's experiences are not the same, so decisions and understandings will also have differences. Please don't be a person without a surname, although "every path is the right path", but "at my age, the money spent on candles is more expensive than cake. I'm not afraid of death, I'm just afraid that I don't live enough Wonderful." Speaking of which, I thought of a master's answer to the general in Jiangnan's "Mixed Records of Kyushu": "Manpower is always limited, and if you can't do many things, you will definitely regret it. But we live in this world, Waking up early and going to bed late is just to do more things so that you won't regret too much when you are about to die. This may be "similar in purpose".

What I personally think is more interesting is Nemo's romance with the three ladies. The first is him and Anna. They have a real love, but they are vulnerable and fragmented in the face of reality. Although they meet again later, the drop of rain hitting the number can also be compared to a blow to reality, although this is the butterfly effect. However, everything in our life is not caused by the butterfly effect; Nemo and Elise are Nemo unilaterally licking the dog, "Lick to the end, nothing!" (Don't be a licking dog!) Gradually broke up; finally Nemo and Gene, on the contrary, Gene became a licking dog on the side, and the ending was the same, and the relationship was broken.

The content of the movie is grand and the reflection is very broad. I am sorry for my inability to understand in detail. Discussions are welcome.

    That's how the effects work. This film is completely an expansion of the future world segment that Dormer failed to achieve in [Little Hero Toto]. Although it ended up on a very simple "life choice" theme, but this is obviously a compromise made to take care of the audience. The editing of the film is dazzling, and the narrative is multi-line complex and self-dissolving at the same time. Throw a few streets of American science fiction. Those who give this film less than four stars are ignorant.

Mr. Nobody quotes

  • TV host: Now doctor, no trace of his identity has been found in the national records, nothing about his past!

    Dr. Feldheim: We don't know who Mr. Nobody is, neither does he. Our patient's memories are confused. But it is not unusual at a certain stage of illness for very old memories to emerge in great detail.

  • Nemo Nobody aged 118: I've got nothing to say to you. I'm Mr. Nobody, a man who doesn't exist.

    Young journalist: Do you remember what the world was like before telemerization? Quasi-immortality? What was it like when humans were mortals?

    Nemo Nobody aged 118: There were cars that polluted. We smoked cigarettes. We ate meat. We did everything we can't do in this dump and it was wonderful! Most of the time nothing happened... like a French movie.

    Young journalist: And, um, sexually? Before sex became obsolete.

    Nemo Nobody aged 118: Ha, ha! We screwed! Everybody was always screwing. We fell in love... we fell in love.
