Re: Stranger than Fiction review *Spoilers*
Wow I thought there would be much more discussion on this one.
Just saw the movie, thought it was brilliant.
**** SPOILERS *************************************************
Okay so I thought the movie dragged in the middle and I was not going to like it but wow.
So after her conversation with D. Hoffman about her mediocre ending and how well,
a) she just couldn't do it
b) the character was supposed to unknowingly die, and a character who knows he is going to die but goes into it willingly is a character she wants to live.
so she is going to keep her new ending and rewrite the story. And boom, that is what we just watched - the new story. This is what I thought, and I may be way off but I would like to believe this is what we are supposed to believe.
Bear with me, - so the parts of the movie where Harold hears her narrating is obviously the original, coherent, tragedy where he dies.
The missing narration would obviously be the rewrite. If this is the case then in the rewrite she would have written herself in, and her narrating voice, etc etc. Agree, disagree, some other avenue of thought?
Anyway the ending was beautiful and I loved it.
