Plagiarized idea from "Mist"

Rating: 1/10 (1 July 2013)

It's a shame. The thrust of the argument of this story is a shameless plagiarism of the famous novel "Mist" by Miguel de Unamuno, in which the main character, Augusto Perez, going to the author's house to ask him not to assassinate him in the novel. "Mist" is the most significant fiction of this Basque writer. The book addresses the insecurity of modern man who cares about his fate and his death, a theme par excellence Unamunian. "Mist" was written in 1907 and published in 1914. "Stranger than fiction" plagiarized an idea that is 100 years old. Another striking episode is the reference to cookie dipped in milk that causes a strong déjà vu of the "cupcakes dipped in tea" from the novel "In Search of Lost Time" written by Marcel Proust, coincidentally, at the beginning of the twentieth century. It seems the author of "Stranger Than Fiction" has a preference for novels written in that time. Film with uncreative argument.
