Movie Reviews of My Name Is Nobody
Movie Review: "what's your name anyway?" "Who me? ....No-body."
Summary: 5 Stars
This is my all-time favorite film. I originally recorded it on Beta when in college. Normally I don't like silly action movies, but I made an exception for this one because it made up for it in so many ways. It's about a passing of the torch from one generation to the next, and it's full of comedy, but it was the ideas which parallelled real life that made it work for me. Like how we all need heroes to inspire us, or at least something to believe in. It's also about the way life changes, how childhood innocence gets replaced by the hard realities of adulthood. "Nobody" represents this youth and innocence, seemingly unaware of his own mortality as he follows around his idol Jack Beauregard, and making sure Jack's legend is cemented in the history books. Along the way we find that "Nobody" is every bit as fast as his hero, except that he's chosen a different method to display his skills. Unlike Jack, "Nobody" is a fun-loving clown who craves attention and fame ("I like folks ta see me."), except rather than basking in the spotlight he chooses to fly under the radar in order to avoid the pitfalls that come with such fame. In contrast to his goofy exterior, Nobody is smarter than he lets on, he enjoys playing people (I guess I liked this film so much because I related so well to the title character). The movie contains one of the all time classic bar scenes in which Nobody wins a drinking game by fooling everyone, then using his amazing speed, he embarrasses the bar bully by slapping him silly. (this scene was resurrected and used in a nationally televised phone commercial in 2006) In the spirit of 1970's spaghetti westerns, both of our heros' shooting skills are wildly exagerrated. They are the very best of their generations, and a climactic showdown between the two is inevitable. I won't say who wins because the answer to that is what made this movie so memorable. The post-fight narrative is priceless, with Henry Fonda's voice providing the perfect commentary (This is my favorite part of the film). For me the movie is a profound commentary on real life. It points out how modern culture was making the role of the gunfighter obsolete, and it speaks to how times change, and how once idealic figures and lifestyles can become extinct (a good example is the fall of the Italian Mobs, and indeed the spaghetti western genre itself), and how, in the face of all this, we must make a decision - to step aside (like Jack), to continue on (and die), or as in Nobody's case, to find a way to do both, by fooling everyone!! I just love when films come full circle, and when certain themes repeat themselves ( like Jack teaching Nobody to wield his gun as a deterrent when getting a shave). This film had it all: glorified heroes, wild gunfights, clever motifs, comedy, an unforgettable title, AND, the great music of Ennio Morricone! ("Just one more piece of advice from an old-timer; when you're gettin a shave and a cut, make sure the right man's wearin the jacket")
