1. ›Mr. Nobody: un film para reflexionar acerca de cómo construimos nuestra vida con cada decisión que tomamos (ES/EN)@ismaelgranados1601d

   Español

   Hola amigos de Hive, en esta ocasión presento mi participación para el concurso de la comunidad Holos&Lotus acerca de Films que inspiran, en el que debemos escribir sobre una película que a través de su mensaje haya representado un cambio en nuestra vida, ya sea por una reflexión, algo que nos haya inspirado a lograr o algo que hayamos cambiado para bien.

   Para ello tuve que meditar bastante acerca de cuál película ha sido tan relevante como para decir que ha cambiado mi vida de alguna manera, o más bien mi forma de ver la vida, pues no soy una persona que suele conectarse de manera intensa con la historias, me encanta el cine eso sí, me brindan horas de entretenimiento, y siempre comparto con mis amistades recomendaciones e historias, pero en ese sentido me conecto mucho mejor con la música que con el cine.

   Sin embargo, sí que hay una película, que me hace pensar muchas cosas y reflexionar sobre la vida cada vez que la veo o cuando la recuerdo, y esta es Mr. Nobody, o “Las vidas posibles de Mr. Nobody”.

   Fuente

   Este es un film belga producido en 2009, dirigido por Jaco Van Dormael y protagonizada por Jared Leto. Narra la historia de Nemo, un hombre de 118 años que despierta en un centro médico en el año 2092, y es el último mortal vivo, por lo que es sometido a una serie de preguntas para conocer sobre su vida, y este empieza a contar su vida desde muy niño. Sin embargo, su relato se ve bifurcado en diferentes líneas de tiempo paralelas, que surgen a partir de una muy importante decisión cuando sus padres se separan, ¿se va con su madre o se va con su padre?, de manera que se nos muestra cómo fue su vida en ambas líneas de tiempo, lo que no sabemos es cuál de ellas es la que realmente sucedió o siquiera si alguna de ellas sucedió.

   Esta película me marcó, porque me hizo consciente de cómo construimos nuestra vida con cada decisión que tomamos por pequeña que sea. Lo único que no decidimos es donde nacer y quienes serán nuestros padres, así como nuestros primeros años de vida completamente dependientes de nuestros padres, de allí en adelante somos responsables de nuestro destino, el destino definitivamente se construye.

   Todo esto me hace reflexionar acerca de mi vida, y me hace pensar en el qué hubiese pasado sí… A mis 33 años he tenido muchas vivencias que han surgido a partir de decisiones importantes, y otras han ocurrido porque de alguna manera el universo parece configurarse para que sucedan. Ejemplo de ello, hace días conversaba con mis dos mejores amigas de la universidad, y les decía, qué hubiese pasado si no me hubiese tomado un año sabático al salir de la secundaria para posteriormente ingresar en la universidad a la carrera de Comunicación Social, no hubiésemos coincidido y estudiado juntos, y aunque probablemente si las habría conocido, no habría tenido la maravillosa experiencia de tener su amistad de tal manera, y disfrutar de tantas grandiosas vivencias, clases, viajes, fiestas, reuniones, experiencias que hasta el día de hoy después de 15 años nos unen fuertemente. Y es que tal vez si no hubiese sido así, seguramente serían otras personas, pero son ellas a quienes quiero, me siento afortunado y no cambiaría absolutamente nada.

   Fuente

   Siempre he sido una persona sensata y coherente, por lo que la mayoría de mis decisiones me han llevado por un buen camino, aunque posiblemente he perdido oportunidades de experimentar momentos grandiosos como consecuencia de mis decisiones, pues a veces pienso que soy poco arriesgado, y me mantengo en cierta zona de confort. Aun así, si he de relacionar mi vida con esta película, siento que hasta el momento he vivido una de las líneas de tiempo más bonitas que la vida me puede haber ofrecido, en donde por supuesto muchas de mis decisiones han jugado una papel fundamental. Claro está, si pudiera regresar el tiempo, me gustaría tomar otras decisiones respecto a algunos acontecimientos, pero ello ha forjado en mí una experiencia y estoy seguro que de repetirse eventos similares tomaré las decisiones correctas esta vez.

   

   Fuente

   De tal manera que, en ocasiones cuando he de tomar una decisión importante viene a mi mente esta película, e imagino un poco a que me puede llevar la decisión que tome, imagino así los escenarios ideales o escenarios perjudiciales, pongo en una balanza lo que tengo por perder y lo que tengo por ganar.

   Recomiendo ampliamente esta película, te hará ver la vida de manera distinta, te hará meditar sobre lo que has vivido hasta el momento, y seguramente te hará valorar mucho más lo que tienes y tu realidad, o eso espero, pues la vida puede ser muy dura para muchos.

   Muchas gracias por su atención, espero les haya gustado mi participación, invito a @mairene1 y a @mariavargas

   Hello friends from Hive, this time I present my participation for the Holos&Lotus community contest about Films that inspire, in which we must write about a movie that through its message has represented a change in our life, either by a reflection, something that has inspired us to achieve or something that has changed us for the better.

   For this I had to meditate a lot about which movie has been so relevant as to say that it has changed my life in some way, or rather my way of seeing life, because I am not a person who usually connect intensely with film stories, I love movies, yes, they give me hours of entertainment, and I always share with my friends recommendations and stories, but in that sense I connect much better with music than with movies.

   However, there is one film that makes me think about many things and reflect on life every time I watch it or when I remember it, and that is Mr. Nobody.

   Source

   This is a Belgian film produced in 2009, directed by Jaco Van Dormael and starring Jared Leto. It tells the story of Nemo, a 118-year-old man who wakes up in a medical center in the year 2092, and he is the last living mortal, so he is subjected to a series of questions from others to learn about his life, and he begins to tell his life as a child. However, his story is bifurcated in different parallel timelines, which arise from a very important decision when his parents separate, does he go with his mother or does he go with his father, so we are shown how his life was in both timelines, what we do not know is which of them is the one that really happened or even if any of them happened.

   

   Source

   This movie marked me, because it made me aware of how we build our life with every decision we make no matter how small. The only thing we don't decide is where to be born and who our parents will be, as well as our first years of life completely dependent on our parents, from then on we are responsible for our destiny, destiny is definitely built.

   All this makes me reflect about my life, and makes me think about what would have happened if... At my 33 years old I have had many experiences that have arisen from important decisions, and others have happened because somehow the universe seems to be set to happen. For example, a few days ago I was talking with my two best friends from Univeristy, and I was telling them, what would have happened if I had not taken a sabbatical year when I graduated from high school to later enter the university to study journalism, we would not have coincided and studied together, and although I probably would have met them, I would not have had the wonderful experience of having their friendship in such a way, and enjoy so many great experiences, classes, trips, parties, meetings, experiences that even today after 15 years keep up together strongly. And maybe if it had not been like that, surely they would be other people, but they are the ones I love, I feel fortunate and I would not change anything at all.

   Source

   I have always been a sensible and coherent person, so most of my decisions have led me on a good path, although I have possibly missed opportunities to experience great moments as a consequence of my decisions, because sometimes I think I am not very risky, and I keep myself in a certain comfort zone. Still, if I am to relate my life to this movie, I feel that so far I have lived one of the most beautiful timelines that life could have offered me, where of course many of my decisions have played a fundamental role. Of course, if I could go back in time, I would like to make other decisions regarding some events, but it has forged in me an experience and I am sure that if similar events are repeated I will make the right decisions this time.

   

   Source

   So that, sometimes when I have to make an important decision this movie comes to my mind, and I imagine a little of what the decision I take can lead me to, I imagine the ideal scenarios or harmful scenarios, I put in a balance what I have to lose and what I have to gain.

   I highly recommend this movie, it will make you see life differently, it will make you meditate on what you have lived so far, and surely it will make you value much more what you have and your reality, or so I hope, because life can be very hard for many.

   Thank you very much for your attention, I hope you have liked my participation, I invite @mairene1 and @mariavargas

   E N G L I S H

   What would you do if you could recall your past and think about the possible lives you could have lived? It's a question that makes many of us think about what was and what could have been. Drama, Romance and Science Fiction, combined with complex philosophical themes that bleat within this film, director Jaco Van Dormael has surprised us before with these themes, so here, at its most powerful peak, he invites us to reflect on multiverses of possibilities.

   E S P A Ñ O L

   ¿Qué harías si pudieras remembrar tu pasado y pensar en las posibles vidas que pudiste haber vivido? Es una pregunta que a muchos nos hace pensar, lo que fue y lo que pudo haber sido. Drama, Romance y ciencia ficción, combinados con complejos temas filosóficos que balacean dentro de esta película, el director Jaco Van Dormael ya nos ha sorprendido anteriormente con estos temas, por lo que aquí, en su apogeo más poderoso, nos invita a la reflexión de multiversos de posibilidades.

   

   

   **Mr. Nobody' is a Belgian film quite complex, not only in its synopsis and plot but also in photography, music and costumes. It was released in November 2009 with a running time of 2 hours and 37 minutes, being one of the most expensive films in budget in Belgium. The cast starred Jared Leto, Diane Kruger, Sarah Polley and Linh Dan Pham and was filmed in different locations in Belgium, Germany, France and Canada.

   The film has a rather complex narrative, because it is divided into different stories that start from the life of the main character and branch out touching other stories. It is an autobiographical life with Nemo Nobody as the main character. It is the year 2092, humanity has found the solution to death since most of the world's population has undergone a treatment of infinite cell renewal. Mr. Nobody (Jared Leto), 118 years old, is the only mortal human on Earth, which makes him an attraction around the world. In his last hours of life, a journalist, (Daniel Mays), sneaks into the old man's room to interview him and he tells him about his past and the possible lives he could have lived.

   At 9 years old and suffering from his parents' divorce, little Nemo must make a decision, whether to stay with his mom or his dad, from this moment on, the film is divided into two parts: The life he would have if he had stayed with his mother (Natasha Little) and the life he would have if he had stayed with his father (Rhys Ifans). At the beginning of the film, Nemo explains that before birth, children can know what will happen after they are born, but the Angels of Oblivion erase the memory of children before conception, however, the Angels overlook Nemo so he can see possible futures of his life according to the decisions he will make.

   A los 9 años de edad y sufriendo el divorcio de sus padres, el pequeño Nemo debe tomar una decisión, si quedarse con su mamá o con su papá, a partir de este momento, la película se divide en dos partes: La vida que tendría si se hubiese quedado con su madre (Natasha Little) y la vida que tendría si se hubiese quedado con su padre (Rhys Ifans). Al principio de la película, Nemo explica que antes de nacer, los niños pueden saber lo que sucederá después de que nazcan, pero los Ángeles del Olvido borran la memoria de los niños antes de la concepción, sin embargo, los Ángeles pasan por alto a Nemo por lo que este puede ver posibles futuros de su vida de acuerdo a las decisiones que tomará.

   From this point on, the film is divided into three parts: one when Nemo is 9 years old, one when he is 15 years old and one when he is 34 years old. In these three phases, Nemo meets the three loves of his life: Anna, Elise and Jean. Deciding to stay with his mother and her new husband Harry, Nemo meets Anna (Juno Temple) at school and falls in love with her. Later, as a teenager, he realizes that she is the daughter of Harry, his stepfather, and the two have a relationship, but Nemo's mother and Harry separate and Harry moves to New York City with Anna. Years later, Nemo and Anna (Diane Kruger) meet and have a passionate moment, but Anna is not ready to start the relationship right away and leaves her phone number with Nemo telling him to wait for her at a lighthouse, but Nemo loses her number because of a rainstorm that leaves the paper unreadable. Nemo waits for Anna at the lighthouse every night but she never arrives.

   A partir de este punto, la película se divide en tres partes: una en la que Nemo tiene 9 años, otra cuando tiene 15 y la otra cuando tiene 34 años. En estas tres fases, Nemo conoce a los tres amores de su vida: Anna, Elise y Jean. Al decidir quedarse con su madre y con su nuevo esposo Harry, Nemo conoce a Anna (Juno Temple) en la escuela y se enamora de ella, luego más adolescentes, se da cuenta que es hija de Harry, su padrastro, y ambos sostienen una relación, pero la madre de Nemo y Harry se separan mudándose este último a la ciudad de Nueva York con Anna. Años más tarde, Nemo y Anna (Diane Kruger) se encuentran y tienen un momento pasional, pero Anna no está lista para comenzar la relación de inmediato y deja su número de teléfono a Nemo diciéndole que la espere en un faro, pero Nemo pierde su número a causa de una lluvia que deja el papel ilegible. Nemo espera a Anna en el faro cada noche pero ella nunca llega.

   In another alternate history, in which the 9-year-old Nemo decides to stay with his father, the teenage Nemo works in a store to help his father, who is disabled, while he writes a science fiction novel about a trip to Mars. At a school dance he meets Elise (Clare Stone) with whom he falls in love, but when he sees Elise with her boyfriend Stefano, he gets very angry and has an accident on his motorcycle and is left in a vegetative state. There, in his hospital room, Nemo can perceive everything that happens around him and realizes the reunion of his parents. In that instant, Nemo remembers the sensation with his typewriter and tries to move his fingers and that's where the story ends.

   In another reality, Nemo, after being rejected by Elise, marries the first girl who danced with him at the prom, where he meets Jean and dances with her. Years later, the two become engaged, get married, have two children and Nemo becomes a rich man, but he is unhappy and bored with his marriage, so he leaves all his possessions to Jean (Linh Dan Pham) and leaves his family. At the airport, Nemo makes a random decision by flipping a coin, pretends to be a passenger with another name and a driver takes him to a hotel. In the room, Nemo is killed because his killer thought he was someone else.

   At the end of the story, the elderly Nemo Nobody explains to the journalist that none of them exist, that they are just the invention of a 9-year-old boy who has to decide which parents to stay with. After this revelation, the world falls apart, bringing the story back to the beginning.

   En otra realidad, Nemo, después de ser rechazado por Elise, se casa con la primera chica que bailara con él en el baile de graduación, allí conoce a Jean y baila con ella. Años más tarde, ambos se comprometen, se casan, tienen dos hijos y Nemo se convierte en un hombre rico, pero este es infeliz y se aburre de su matrimonio, por lo que deja todas sus posesiones a Jean (Linh Dan Pham) y deja a su familia. En el aeropuerto, Nemo toma una decisión al azar lanzado una moneda al aire, finge ser un pasajero con otro nombre y un chofer lo lleva a un hotel. En la habitación, Nemo es asesinado puesto que su asesino pensaba que era otra persona.

   Al final de la historia, el anciano Nemo Nobody le explica al periodista que ninguno de ellos existe, que solo son la invención de un niño de 9 años que tiene que decidir con que padres quedarse. Tras esta revelación, el mundo se desmorona volviendo la historia nuevamente al principio.

   The film forces the viewer only to reflect and it is not the first time that the director, Van Dormael, writes and directs stories of this type with deeply philosophical themes, such as The Brand New Testament (2015), which talks about God as a cynical and malicious writer who lives in the city of Brussels, Belgium, with his 10-year-old daughter Ea, but this rewrites the history of the world revealing to each human being the time he has left to live. Or the film Toto, the Hero (1991), a tragicomedy that tells the story of an old man who begins to reminisce about his past life, thinking about the possible lives he could have lived; a story quite similar to that of Mr. Nobody.

   La película obliga al espectador únicamente a reflexionar y no es la primera vez que el director, Van Dormael, escribe y dirige historias de este tipo de temáticas profundamente filosóficas, como el caso de The Brand New Testament (2015), que habla sobre Dios como un cínico y malicioso escritor que vive en la ciudad de Bruselas, Bélgica, con su hija Ea de 10 años, pero esta reescribe la historia del mundo revelándole a cada ser humano el tiempo que le queda de vida. O el filme Toto, the Hero (1991), una tragicomedia que relata la historia de un hombre anciano que comienza a remembrar sobre su vida pasada, pensando en las posibles vidas que pudo haber vivido; una historia bastante similar a la de Mr. Nobody.

   

   ^{[Jaco Van Dormael](https://es.wikipedia.org/wiki/Jaco_Van_Dormael#/media/Archivo:Jaco_Van_Dormael_675.jpg)}

   

   As you can see, Dormael has that filiation of creating thought-provoking films in an extraordinary way, and with Mr. Nobody he was put back in the game, taking 7 years to finish it due to its complex script, something that we can appreciate when watching this masterful work. It has been quite satisfying to find so many aspects that make you admire the film, such as the music with Pierre Van Dormael in charge. The colors and paintings made by Christophe Beaucarne. So many elements well invested with a budget of 37 million euros.

   A plot that invites you to think with more than detailed elements, a story of romance that never came true but could. Mr. Nobody, is one of those works that are hard to find nowadays, fine tuning the details and rethinking them over and over again. I give it a rating of 9/10, I've seen it several times and always get something new to analyze.

   Como pueden ver, Dormael tiene esa filiación de crear películas que inviten a la reflexión de una manera extraordinaria, y con Mr. Nobody fue colocado nuevamente en el juego, tardando 7 años en finiquitarla debido a su guión tan complejo, algo que podemos apreciar al ver esta obra magistral. Ha sido bastante satisfactorio encontrar tantos aspectos que te hacen admirar la película, como la música con Pierre Van Dormael como encargado. Los colores y cuadros realizados por Christophe Beaucarne. Tantos elementos bien invertidos con un presupuesto de 37 millones de euros.

   Una trama que te invita a pensar con elementos más que detallistas, una historia de romance que nunca se cumplió pero que podría hacerlo. Mr. Nobody, es de esas obras que son difíciles de encontrar hoy en día, afinando los detalles y repensarlos una y otra vez. Le doy una calificación de 9/10, la he visto varias veces y siempre consigo algo nuevo para analizar.

3. ›Mr. Nobody: very confusing but worth watching@gooddream2955d

   I have to admit that I quite like Jared Leto and didn't even know he was in the film when i decided to watch it because it is new-ish and I like science fiction. The fact that he was the star was just an added bonus.

   The movie isn't science fiction in a spaceship sense (for the most part) as it mostly takes place in modern times (or even the past.) The movie has lots of bizarre moments but also a really touching love story mixed in, which I'm not afraid to admit, i quite enjoy from time-to-time.

   Warning: Spoilers ahead

   

   First off, i don't want a character being named Nemo if they aren't in charge of a submarine or they happen to be a fish. They lose at least half a point for that blunder even though it is simply personal on my part.

   Nemo in this film (Jared Leto) is a 118 year old person and is apparently the last remaining mortal on the planet. His brain seems to a be broken as he is attempting to recall his life through being hypnotized by a tattoo covered Ban Kingsley. Only then do we get to see a glimpse into Nemo's past, of which, he appears to have 3. This is where it gets really confusing.

   The story jumps from life to life which is mostly focused on him being in love with or married to 3 different people.

   One is Jean, who you just end up feeling sorry for because Nemo doesn't seem to be particularly dedicated to her despite the fact that she is a really lovely person. She isn't featured in the film very much.

   

   The second love interest is Elise. Who has quite extreme emotional issues and is a real handful both in the youth sequences and the adult ones.

   

   Elise is bedridden with depression for the most part and is prone to emotional outbursts that make her the most terrifying character in the movie. Nemo is an extremely loving partner and father and this makes her even more difficult to tolerate in the movie.

   The last, and most important love interest is Anna. Anna actually ends up being Nemo's stepsister by his mom her dad getting married (I think, it isn't defined.) The two of them develop a relationship but end up getting split up because Anna's father moves to New York after he and Nemo's mom get divorced / separate. A lot of the rest of the film is dedicated to their longing for one another and even some sort of a psychic connection they share and also how fate intervenes to keep them apart at times.

   

   I'm gonna have to nitpick about the casting here for a second. Anna's father is Canadian, yet Anna has a British accent as a child (living in Canada, with a Canadian father) but completely loses her U.K. accent by the time she is an adult. I can't figure this one out because we all end up adapting the accents of our parents and for the most part they stick with us forever. Perhaps they were the only 2 actresses that could be found that look enough alike. I don't know.

   Ok, that is the main focus of the film but parts of it actually function almost like a documentary where Jared is explaining mysteries of the universe in an almost Neil deGrasse Tyson type way. Therefore, presuming that what they are saying is true in those portions of the film, you may actually end up learning something by the end of the movie.

   The film is confusing because there doesn't seem to be any particular timeline or any one set of "truths" in the story-line. You exit the film not really knowing what actually happened or if any of it is actually real. It is stated by 118 year-old Nemo that "all of this is in the head of a 9 year-old boy." I guess that is ok, it doesn't really matter.

   Overall i would say this is a very entertaining movie and it is up to the interpretation of the viewer as to what the heck is actually going on. So this means the movie makes you think about it long after you have seen it.

   My vote is 8 /10.

   As always, i welcome and look forward to your comments.
