Fantastic. Beyond My Hopes and Expectations

Rating: 10/10 (25 March 2007)

I started watching the movie thinking it was about to be a nice, entertaining movie, but I was wrong. 'Stranger Than Fiction' is a masterpiece. While watching the movie, the movie turned out to be very interesting, unique and sometimes even funny. The idea of a character coming to life may not be very original, but the implementation is far beyond great. Most movies(or books, plays etc.), which have such unreal themes, are left with large holes of logical absences, whilst this movie pushes you to forget about the stupid little things and experience exalted pleasure. Perfect.

I was enjoying the film very much, and then, at the scene in which Harold get hit by the bus, precisely the second it happened, I started crying. And I thought, 'This movie is so perfect: It granted me enjoyment, a bit of laughter, and without letting me notice, made me love the character and be bound to it. Then, although it was definitely expected, made me feel great sorrow about Harold which I was led to love so much.' I think it is a very notable information to say that I never cry in movies.
