Nobody (2007)

There might be quite some people on this planet, who would say, the film doesn't make sense, there is no sense in it, or the story is not good or doesn't make any sense.But this is just quite the kind of art which the movie uses, to make your active conscious brain loose it's sense, it's power, it's need to understand things. The movie takes you on a journey from the rational to the irrational and to the point where you understand even the irreal, which in my opinion is the whole goal of the film.Explanation of the movie (spoiler, read it when you have seen it, or before to understand the movie): The movie shows you a story of a man who killed someone.The story takes twists, shows you different perspectives of the plot, and at a point fixes loose ends not by telling you a rational story, but by showing you, that the man who is told to kill, is in the end on an irreal journey to kill himself, when you realize this, that is the point where loose ends meet and you see a circle in the idea of meaning, that doesn't make sense in a rational way, but in an irreal way it totally makes sense (for your other brain hemisphere, that is there for feelings, dreams, irrational and irreal things, that just can't work, but in dreams very often things are not possible and just DO work and make sense in an irrational way).the movie is pure art. with a story, that elevates into endlessness, because the man stands for the rational thinking that wants to understand the irrational side, what is not possible. so he keeps to kill himself in his own story and thoughts over and over and doesn't find the exit, because the exit can't be found in a rational way.the gatekeeper is a woman who sits at the exit and represents a part in our brain/world (philosophically). she makes a fortune and gets a gold coin every time the rational thinker get hysteric over wanting to understand irrational things in a rational way.in my opinion she represents the "knowledge" of his own brain over what is happening. you can only find the exit through instinct, and understanding of your feelings, and only the first time you experience and live situations.every time he thinks again about a situation, anything gets more blurry until he finds himself in a circle of actions he can't undo, he is the active part (the killer) (who takes actions) and the passive part (the one who get's killed) (who experiences the effects of other people's thinking (even his own)).other people i watched the movie with, didn't understand the movie and just thought they didn't understand the story and it was a bad movie.but the story is there to make no sense, to lift your rational thinking and start understanding things on a more irrational and irreal basis that make sense nonetheless in it's own form of existence.

As mentioned by other commenters, this movie has a great feel to it. The atmosphere and settings are well done, possibly better than most big-budget films. The acting is exceptional, despite having an unknown cast (unknown to me, anyway).The plot starts out pretty good, with an opening scene that truly captures the audience's attention. Things get spiced up, initially, when you realize that the movie goes back and forth in chronology; however, as the timeline-skipping continues, it starts to get confusing and annoying. Then, as the movie climaxes, you're left with a "what the hell was the point?" ending.I think the writers of this movie confused themselves and decided to just end the movie. There was no point and I didn't even see anything about karma in here. It tried to teach a lesson on karma without fully understanding karma itself. It could have been so much better but it failed miserably.Still, I was entertained throughout this movie, until about the last 25% of the movie. If you have a dollar and some change, pick it up at your local Red Box. I wouldn't purchase this movie, though.

I was listing to the first commentary of the DVD. I believe the producer said something about an "Assassin's Commentary" where it would focus on what was going on in "Noe's" head. So I listened to the second commentary but it didn't sound anything like what the producer described! ...Help please? I must say the movie is rather confusing, but for me it was very interesting. I'm a huge fan of Costas Mandylor and I thought his acting and narration was awesome, and I did enjoy watching it. But once again, it could be very confusing the first time you watch it. It was a unique movie in my opinion. (And its really hard for me to write ten lines...)

I was first struck by the artistry of "NOBODY", at the Action on Film Festival in Long Beach, CA, earlier this year. I attended this festival because I am a student of the martial arts, and because another friend/filmmaker was screening at the same festival.I was absolutely blown out and held intrigued, till the end, by this film!! I rarely am captivated like this, and invite you fans of the thriller genre to check out this work of art. kudos to the cast for your work as Borg :) I can't say enough about how much this film impressed me.Paula
