stories within stories

Great story. Interlocked, a movie tells 3 stories and 3 segments of life. And some friends saw 4 stories.

What I saw was the world of writers.

When the old man was young, he continued to read and practice, and wrote novels with his own experience, and his literary thoughts were enthusiastic. However, when he lost the manuscript, his temperament changed greatly, and he could no longer write it out, and he stopped writing from then on.

When Rory got the lost manuscript, he was moved by the manuscript and knew he couldn't write words like that. A love of words prompted him to print the manuscript intact. And his wife's urging made him decide to contribute.
After the old man arrived, he was willing to compensate and remove his name, and told his wife and publisher the truth. But the old man did not come to ask for copyright. The old man just wanted to tell him the truth.

Clay is the author of the first two stories. He wrote the story of two writers in his book, and many people speculate whether clay is Rory?

I don't think it matters because the real truth is only known by the person who tells the story. And the storyteller, this time, told a wonderful story. There are other stories in the story. Reality and stories are sometimes difficult to distinguish between true and false. Especially for writers, stories sometimes walk into their real real life. They themselves mingled in it and couldn't get out.

    The plot is as expected, but the structure is pretty good

    Great story with a strong cast, the downside is that I've watched too many good movies together >.<

The Words quotes

  • Rory Jansen: I'm not who I thought I was, okay? I'm not. And I'm terrified that I never will be.

  • The Old Man: He found out sometime later that what she'd actually said was: "Pay your check and get the hell out of here". But who is he to question fate?
