I liked the part a TV in the background shows the Bollywood classic Mughal-E-Azam and the song is playing. The soundtrack is where the movie really got it right!
The superior Butterfly effect, it got me with the Kieślowski's Przypadek reference, when it got to the Lola Rennt one, I knew what it was doing, expanding on this concept and fleshing it out to talk about reality itself being nothing more than the collection of memories of the choices we take, when everyone else dies every answer is right if it is what your mind tells you it happened
Nice little songs and stylization
Mr. Nobody is hard to describe. Imagine a child having to choose between two parents in a railway station. The film sets this up, then shows us how it might have gone had he decided one way or the other, and these timelines multiply as he makes other important decisions in his life. Jared Leto's protagonist is necessarily a bit of a cipher as he lives through more than a dozen lives, at least some of them fictional from even his point of view, though mostly concerned with his potential marriage to one of three girls. Beautifully shot, full of symbolism, and a meditation on time, memory, and free will, with the conceit that the boy can see into his futures, branching off in front of him in a split second, and confusing his selves. A puzzle movie to which there is no single solution, which I think is exactly the point.
You will love it... if you have never ever watched a single documentary about quantum mechanics... otherwise you will be bored to death. An actually decent replacement for this would be Coherence (2013), now THAT's a brilliant movie.

At least Jared Leto gets to practice for his legendary Joker performance in this Butterfly Effect for pretentious teenagers.Siskoid

All films about the butterfly effect must burn. At least this one didn't have a Morgan Freeman voiceover.I-check-therefore-I-am
