The film tells the story of a "Book Man" created by a talented writer who inexplicably becomes a real character, falls in love with the writer and lives together, and the amazing thing is that although the "Book Man" is an independent and real person, the writer However, she can still arbitrarily control the "people in the book" and let her change her original thoughts and behaviors according to the writer's wishes. In the end, when the conflict between the two broke out, the writer almost frantically showed the truth in front of the "book man", watching her speak French under his control, snap her fingers recklessly, mechanically undress, Said to love him forever, praised him as a genius, and watched her fall to the ground in despair and disbelief. But the writer always loved her deeply, so she finally let her leave him and gave her the freedom she deserved.

In fact, this is a small and fresh movie full of warmth. Even when the writer frantically proves his control over her to the "people in the book", it still makes people feel the deep affection and kindness in the writer's heart. So, in the end, the writer and the "people in the book" meet again. In the sunny park, the eyes are facing each other, which is the continuation of the old fate and the beginning of the new one.

Aside from the sci-fi color in the movie, the image of falling in love with his own literary creation is also described in "Three-Body Problem" - the dark forest. Under the guidance of a former girlfriend, Luo Ji created his ideal image of a girl and let her gradually penetrate into his life, appearing everywhere in his field of vision, and finally fell in love with her deeply. , so that his first thought after becoming a Wallfacer was to find her in reality.

This content description is one of the most impressive fragments in the whole three-body book. I don’t know anything about literary creation, but I agree with the description of the shaping of literary images in the text, that is, classic literary images have life in the thoughts of writers, and writers are not so much creation. Character stories, it is better to say that they are recording the stories of these characters like voyeurs, so the stories they write are not completely imaginary, but actually staged in front of their eyes. I think this is one of the reasons why classics become classics.

Perhaps, falling in love with one's own character and falling in love with the "people in the book", our films or literary works will have a better possibility.

    Extraordinarily cute movie, eye-catching. The clever and pleasant script, the successful casting, and the excellent control of the light comedy by the director and the couple made this independent film a cup of summer lemon iced tea. Fresh and refreshing, sweet and sour. I really sigh that Paul Dano has become more adorable as he grows!

    It uses a fresh and magical story to deduce the entanglement of the real and the illusory in the style of "novel". If you continue to expand its extension, the entanglement will become more and more hazy. That is the beauty of art and the love of the imagination.

Ruby Sparks quotes

  • Calvin Weir-Fields: I'm sorry for every word I wrote to change you. I'm sorry for so many things. I couldn't see you when you were here. And now that you're gone, I see you everywhere. One may read this and think it's magic, but falling in love is an act of magic. So is writing. It was once said of Catcher in the Rye, that rare miracle of fiction has again come to pass. A human being has been created out of ink, paper and imagination.

  • Calvin Weir-Fields: I can't write anymore!

    Harry: Sure you can; that's what you have over every other poor schmuck out there, with a broken heart.

    Calvin Weir-Fields: Who'd wanna read that?

    Harry: Lot's of people! Why not? You've got a pretty good story.
