Stranger Than Fiction

          In the movie Stranger Than Fiction they mess with the idea of the way we understand characters and how the story presents itself. In the begging of the movie we are presented with the character Harold Crick as the narrator, narrates his day. But Harold Crick begins to hear the narrator just as the audience dose. He is the only bin the movie who can hear the narrator and also hears that the narrator wants to kill him off. This movie is a story about story telling.
          In stranger than fiction the audience may find it odd that the main character can here the author's voice as she narrates. Karn Eiffel the author of the story is not aware that her character is "real". This made me assume that Harold Crick is in a fake world, he is a character in Karn Eiffel's story. But their worlds seem too similar, when it rain in Karn's world, it would also rain in Harolds world.  Later the audience finds out they are living in the same world, and Karn's character Harold is real. This movie really messes with what is real and what is fake.
          This movie is has a lot of postmoderism. It takes a concept that is used often and changed it to something very different. This movie is basically a story in a story. Karn trying to write a story and wants to make her main character die in an interesting way. Her main character Harold trying to avoid the end of the story and fighting for his life hoping it change the story. This movie is very really messes with the way we understand stories and characters because of what we are use to. We are use to the main character not hearing the narrator and ignore and accept that the main character cannot hear them. Also the main character is not suppose to know that they are going to die
          Stranger Than Fiction messes with the way we view movies and or story  It messes with the idea of story telling and the roles characters plays. The movie itself is very Postmodern In a way that the movie takes a regular theme for any story and changes it in a very different way. Like a story in a story.
