Some people maybe confused about the story and the movie itself, in that case your MISSING A LOT.. Having enjoy this movie myself, because I was able to follow and get the gist of it while watching; I decided to make this review so some people can have some guide of some kind. The movie is basically about a boy(Nemo Nobody) who got to a difficult situation of choosing to stay with his mother or father who are separating.. And in that moment in his mind, He deducted all the possibilities that will become his life. Throughout the movie different scenes are played at different settings and circumstances. Each scenes are not played sequentially and different scenarios are made throughout the movie.. So if you have watched the movie already and is a little bit confused of how to piece together the scenes, heres my summary of all the scenarios in proper sequence as I understood it..
2 main path: choose to be with his mother or his father..
1. He is with his mother. At the beach his schoolmate Anna ask him to swim with her friends and he replied "I don't swim with idiots..", She turned away angrily. He regretted saying what he said. After few years, he's 30 something years old, he meets Anna again now with kids, they say hello, how are you.. see you around...
2. He is with his mother. At the beach he says "I can't swim" and Anna stayed with him at the shore. His mother introduces a man and Anna is his daughter. They all live together and he developed a relationship with Anna. But his mother and her father splits. They don't see each other for some time. They accidentally see each other again, they got together, she gives him her number in a paper but it got erased by a drop of rain. He waits for her everyday at the light house for sometime. Eventually she sees him there waiting and they get married. One day on his way back to home He loose control of his car and drove trough a lake and died.
3. He is with his father. One day he's at a club and he meets Elise. Next day he made a love letter for her and went to her house. He met her in front of her house and confess his love but she rejects him. He decided that he will marry the first girl he dances at the club that day. At the club he danced with Jean(Asian girl) instead of Elise. He and Jean got married, had a great house and a family. But he is bored with this life, so one day he got out to travel and he sees this escort driver with a poster/sign for another person. He pretended that he is the guy this driver was looking for. He got the other person's accommodation etc. Unfortunately at the bath tub some guys killed him thinking he is this other person and dropped him some place.
4. He is with his father. He waits to his motorcycle at front of Elise's house. He sees her go out with her boyfriend and immediately rodes away. He gets into an accident and into a coma.. Eventually after few years, he dies on his hospital bed..
5. He is with his father. He confessed his love to Elise and kissed her. He talk to her and never gave her a chance to reject him. They got married and had a family. She never got over her previous boyfriend so she eventually left him. she is working at some salon. He is left to their house and he decided to write again. At the basement of their house while typing some disaster/ earthquake happens, he gets flooded in the room with water and died..
6. He is with his father. He and Elise just got married. On the way to reception at traffic, an oil truck exploded in front of their car and Elise died.. He got some business making some films. He got to a trip to Mars where he fulfilled his promise to her of bringing her ashes there. On the way back from Mars he meets Anna but a meteor storm pitted their ship and it exploded.
7. He is by himself. He refused to choose so he made a new world. He wakes up on bed wearing black and white checkered shirt. No one knows him, his mother don't recognize him. He get to this house where his 70 years older self tells him to live until Feb 2092? so he did until he is 118 years old where died and right after that the 'Big Crunch' happens..
(7.. remember a part of the movie that explains about dimensions?-- height, width, depth, time and other 6 minuscule dimensions)
At the last part of the movie, you can see the scene where Anna found Nemo waiting for her at a bench. Given this is the last part you see in the movie means this is the path that he chooses being with Anna. And even when the universe returns in time, it ends when they were young at the lake and they are now together...
Now you might want to watch it again and enjoy as you would understand it more now.. Then share what you think of the movie..^^
