In my next video I'm going to tackle another great science fiction film, although it is a lesser known one than Inception, and that is Mr. Nobody; a mind-bending tale of multiple realities and complicated physics that I'm hoping to decipher before the end of the month!

Good Reason

Perhaps not unlike Van Dormael's starting point, we assumed free-will and depicted choice as a "V" with the two vectors distinguished by colour. Van Dormael stated, "My starting point was a 12-minute short I made in 1982 called È pericoloso sporgersi. A kid runs behind a train with two possible choices: to go with his mother or with his father. From there we follow two possible futures. I started one version based on the fact that a woman jumps or doesn't jump on a train. Then Sliding Doors by Peter Howitt came out, followed by Run Lola Run by Tom Tykwer. I had to find something else. And that's when I realised that the story I was trying to tell was not binary, that I was above all interested by the multiplicity and complexity of choices." - Jouneaux, Duvoisin & Rey 2009, pp. 5–6 <a href="https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Nobody_(film)" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mr._Nobody_(film)</a>#Writing

Saw Free Solo yesterday. Would make for interesting analysis. Something to do with death? In search of transcendence? Possible Nihilism?
