I think I interpreted the film way too literally, thinking of Emma Thompson's character literally as the author of a book in which Harold (Will Ferrell) was a character. But you're right, the Thompson character could indeed be Ferrell's Daemon -- and the film is even richer when looked at from that perspective. (I thought it was pretty good to begin with, even without this added dimension. I think I'm going to have to watch it again . . . .)Dreamerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11066840629733573007noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-6813155125042766292008-03-09T22:30:00.000+00:002008-03-09T22:30:00.000+00:00OR, does the "saved from death" event only occur i...OR, does the "saved from death" event <I>only</I> occur in our virgin life and so the replay is only repeating the only event that happened?

(nothing to do with the film more of a reflection of our current attention span, not in the mood). <BR/><BR/>You may be deconstructing a little but that's what films are for my friend! Interesting take on it though, i must say i never thought about it like that. Emma Thompson is brilliant isn't she? One of the rare Queen Latifah roles that didn't bug me aswell! The ending was a reflection of the audiences will for the inevitable to be changed, i guess that much is definately symptomatic of Tony's theory.Hurlyburlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991008325876909831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-48660452337967842942008-03-09T18:46:00.000+00:002008-03-09T18:46:00.000+00:00Thanks HB I will look the Woody Allen film out. I ...Thanks HB I will look the Woody Allen film out. I thought the ending was good, kinda knew they wouldn't kill him off though (well, hoped, maybe!)Do you think the Dustin Hoffman character was actually his Eidolon to Emma Thompson's Daemon? That both were a projection of his 2 consciousnesses. Hoffman was clueless initially as to what the voice was but accepted that it existed and later he said Ferrell had to die as if the Eidolon had done it before and it was therefore inevitable. However, the Daemon wanted to protect Ferell's character so rewrote the ending? the two also met at the end - amalgamation! Am I deconstructing too much *mmmm*<BR/>Planning to watch The Fountain next week but need to build up to it coz I think I'll need a hankie!joharhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11493912194385361484noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6467236423735891536.post-66587408664959614362008-03-09T18:29:00.000+00:002008-03-09T18:29:00.000+00:00EVERYONE KEEPS MAKING FILM REFERENCES!!! Soon you ...EVERYONE KEEPS MAKING FILM REFERENCES!!! Soon you people will have no use for me... ;0(<BR/><BR/>Stranger than Fiction is a fantastic film, i saw it for the first time the other day. Brilliant film and a really original idea. I was wondering how they were going to pull off the ending and i think they managed quite well. Farrell is capable of some great serious performances, if you enjoyed this you might also like him in Melinda or Melinda; Woody Allen film about one story told as both a tragedy and a comedy, good film. <BR/><BR/>When i get a second i'm going to post about the Film coffee ciggarettes in a bit, i'm feeling left out!Hurlyburlyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14991008325876909831noreply@blogger.com
