An omniscient narrator controls everything. Everyone including the editor and director would admit it is not a good story. Because they already told you the truth of great works generating suffering as "the hero dies, and the story lives forever. " And this movie is a comedy, as the writer turns her tragic design into a lousy ending. Value prevails over arts.
But the movie gives us opportunities to think about several questions: If your life is a written book, will you still fight for something seemly impossible? Which one would you choose , to die nobly now or to live humbly for more years? Since you are going to die sooner or later, what should you do now?
