I love mind boggling, mind fucking movies. Its what my friend Tamar would say "Mind effing movie." Its a whole new genre of psychological thrillers. Most people would talk about "Inception" or probably "Shutter Island" which are more commercial in their approach and style when going in depth of psychology. Movies like Donny Darko are the pioneers when it comes to mind bending movies but for someone who had a steady head after watching Eternal sunshine of the Spotless Mind knows what Mind fucking is all about. Mr. Nobody is nothing less. Its a complex maze of choices and flashbacks.
It makes me wonder how it would have been to have lived a life like him. There are moments in our life when we find ourselves at cross roads. The
choices we make in those moments can define the rest of our days. and
of course when faced with the unknown, most of us prefer to turn back
and go back. But to be able to experience all those difference paths that could have been......I know its gonna contradict my choice of never pursuing the term what could have been, but oh well. Its a very interesting idea nonetheless.
Its all about choices in life, the path we choose. It could be to live a miserable life being stuck with the past, like Elise. Or it could be a life of compromise like the life with Jean. Or it could be a hard life filled with agonizing frustrations and coincidences like Anna's life. But its that tiny light called hope and belief, which led her to her Nemo. She found her Nemo after all. That's the magic of life, the magic of uncertainty & time.............
