Mr. Nobody

trailer

This is only my second blog, and probably my last, but I wanted to talk more in depth about this film and it's editing. This film is just amazing in the way it conducts itself. The film plays out as sort of montages of scenes that span Nemo Nobody's life at ages 9, 15, 35 and 118. What they'll do is they'll play a scene and then use something in that scene to transition into another alternate timeline of his, because the way the plot works. Nemo will be in his car looking at a train, and then it'll pan into him in that train looking out the window, but you'll know that it's a different timeline, because of his appearance. The way they edited the film you know which Nemo you're following, and which timeline he's in. The way the editing ties into the plot is that each scene is a choice that could have happened, and then they'll cut back and forth between each time line through that panning transition. And the cuts are always for the emotion. The editor really captured the feelings behind each character and the emotion they give and shared with the audience watching the film. The editor never forgot to include objective angles into the scenes to really grab the audience. There is the one scene where Nemo is chasing after the train to catch up to his mom. They could of showed a subjective angle and showed him grabbing for her hand, but what they did instead was they got really close to their hands to make you feel like you're right there trying to grab on. The film as a whole I personally believe is a master piece that everyone should enjoy, because I can't think of any other film that does what this movie does best.
