Mr. Nobody

Mr. Nobody
2009
Starring:  Jared Leto, Sarah Polley, and Diane Kruger

Mr. Nobody has a misleading title.  For a while the title sounded kind of depressing, but don't let that scare you off; the movie is phenomenal in its own rights.

The movie continuously uses Schroedinger's Cat theory as a base for a temporal exposition that left me in awe.  I am a fan of the movie on two parts.  The first is because of a foundation of physics used through the movie and the second is the story itself.  This in essence is another movie on life, but it portrays it in a very entertaining and easy to follow manner.


About all I can tell you without spoiling the movie is that it begins in the year 2092 and Nemo is the last mortal on earth.

Mr. Nobody received awards at the Catalonian, Stockholm, and Venice film festivals.

Cheon Gun - Heaven's Soldiers

Cheon Gun (Heaven's Soldiers) 2005

Heaven's Soldier's, from Korea, is surrounded by quite a bit of speculation.  This movie while produced by South Korea is viewed by much of the world as a plea for a unified Korea.  This speculation might have been lost in translation, but I can understand how it might have been inferred.

After a super secret meeting between North & South Korea and a nuclear weapon is stolen.  After some cosmic events this weapon is transported back in time by pure coincidence - along with a small group of special forces troops which were firing at each other prior to traveling through time.

One of the first people the team comes into contact with is a figure of extreme historical significance who instead of being the valiant conqueror/protector is a petty thief and beggar.  The North Korean troops are deluded enough to believe that this great figure is part of the ruling line of their country while South Korea reinforces how that is impossible.  From that point on there are many pokes at North Korea by the South Korean troops.

This movie was filmed fairly well.  There are also many parts of the movie that made me laugh.  The fights between the future troops and invading barbarians of the past were done well.  There's one part of the movie, a scene where a claymore blows up that is a must see.  Cheon Gun makes it in my list of to see movies as one of those you put a number on and wait for the day when you have plenty of time.  It is entertaining and it does give some very slight insight into the relationship between the Koreas.
