The stranger in fiction

I like Stranger Than Fiction so far I think it says something about life in general. First off it makes all lives seem worthy of having a story written about them. At the start Will Ferrell's character is rather unassuming and dull but he quickly becomes more interesting. I think the movie also gives more of a feel of how writing is creating something in this case the world Will Ferrell inhabits. It questions ho controls the plot in the story; the character or the writer. Dustin Hoffman being in this movie and playing the character he is makes me think of I Heart Huckabees. He acts as a guide in both movies. He also sets the movie within a literary framework setting Crick to figure out whether the story he is in is a tragedy or a comedy. On the other side is the writer herself seeking the best way to kill him by observing death. Death of course being a major part of the movie also as we see how he reacts to his eminent death.
