Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_1'); })The Man Without a Past is a 2002 film from Finland directed by Aki Kaurismäki.A man, named "M" in the credits although he's never addressed that way in the film, gets off a train in Helsinki. He stops to sit on a park bench, where he falls asleep—and is brutally attacked by three thugs. The muggers don't just rob him, they beat him to within an inch of his life. In fact, M actually does briefly flatline in the hospital, but then wakes up and staggers out of the hospital, before collapsing in an abandoned shipyard.When he wakes up, M is suffering from complete amnesia. With no idea of who he is or where he should go, he makes a home out of an old shipping container. In fact, there's a whole community of poor people living in shipping containers in the yard. M makes friends in the homeless encampment, gets a girlfriend (a Salvation Army member named Irma), and struggles to find work while being unable to show ID or even tell people his name.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); }) | |

Bookends: In the opening scene the three muggers savagely beat M. In the last scene M is coming home when he encounters the three muggers again, while they're beating someone else. They advance on him threateningly...and then all the other residents of the community show up and attack the muggers. | |

The Comically Serious: A lot of this, as characters react entirely seriously to absurd situations. In one scene, M has inspired the local Salvation Army band to start playing pop music instead of hymns. The Salvation Army officer gives a very serious speech to the homeless about how the pop song that the band is about to play will give insights into the life of Christ. As the band then launches into a dance tune, the officer's buddy looks over at him and says "I wonder if this was a wise thing to do." | |
