It's interesting, it would be more interesting if you know a bit about literature

This time Nanzhu is not funny, not rude, neither funny nor rude, neither funny nor rude! Important things are said three times, everyone understands.

The film is a small production, but the characters are all big names, the acting is powerful, and the plot is novel. Although it can be said that there is less tension and no comedy elements, I personally feel that I can watch it for a change when I have time.

But on second thought, the level of bizarre plot is less than expected. Compared to the fantasy elements at the beginning, the ending seems to be too bland. This probably refers to my title - the interesting aftertaste of the theme may be half related to literature, and the other half, in my understanding, this film is actually celebrating the greatness and endless possibilities of ordinary life. Well, ordinary life is not a boring life.

    Knowing your own life will you go on with it? Will you still try? What would you do?

    Why is realism difficult to write? Because when you write down a character, the character himself has a life, you can't take it or take it away.

Stranger Than Fiction quotes

  • Kay Eiffel: ...It came to me.

    Penny Escher: How?

    Kay Eiffel: Well, Penny, like anything worth writing it came inexplicably and without method.

  • Dr. Mittag-Leffler: Mr. Crick, you have a voice speaking to you.

    Harold Crick: No, not to me - about me. I'm somehow involved in some sort of story, like I'm a character in my own life. But, the problem is that the voice comes and goes, like there are other parts of the story not being told to me. And I need to find out what those other parts are before it's too late.

    Dr. Mittag-Leffler: Before the story concludes with your death.

    Harold Crick: Yes.

    Dr. Mittag-Leffler: [clears throat] Mr. Crick, I hate to sound like a broken record, but that's schizophrenia.

    Harold Crick: You don't sound like a broken record, but, it's just, not schizophrenia.
