Fiction is the truth inside the lie.

Rating: 10/10 (20 September 2019)

Life is boring, we all know that it's is the very reason most flock to the
realm of fiction, why stories exist. To escape, to break through the boredom, and find the realm of journey underneath. This is an old statement, all know it by now. What is perhaps less known is that the stories often tell truths? They exaggerate, sure, but they give the feeling of life, brought up more, enhanced, to make entertaining.
This whole movie bases itself around not that idea alone. It makes a lesson from it. Stating within that if you listen to these stories you'll realize the truth in them, what they meant to the subject, how they have a power that can last forever, based on that truth.
It says about how feelings are misplaced, Repackaged, told out of order to serve these means. What is a myth, what is the fact? What is a metaphor, are these all literal? These stories, can they help to understand in depth what mundane reality can't touch. Throughout the story of Mcgergors character, we see that yes indeed it does, and can last forever. Movies like this are teaching good morals, executing them well, and getting to that sentimental side, and reminding of the realness within, that makes a great juxtaposition and a brilliant movie.
