Life is always intertwined

Watching the beginning, listening to the music, like most people thought it was a complete comedy, and then found out that the voice of the narrator could be heard by the male lead...what? The dimensional wall was broken? Whenever I see people who live their lives as accurately as numbers, I always feel that they will be far away from me. In fact, everyone has an obsessive-compulsive side, but the most difficult thing for people to see clearly is themselves, right? The two subsequent lines are split but tightly connected. Harold's line made me see an ordinary person who has been living and working step by step for many years suddenly encountered a series of reactions that suddenly rippled in his life. It was funny and apprehensive. We have been used to the same things for many years. When faced with changes, instead Will be at a loss, at a loss. Ordinary life, a love with a little surprise, a simple picture of life - if there is no magic voice in the ear. Writing obstacle is a situation that ordinary people will never encounter, but on the other hand, this is not Harold's unchanging life, self-isolation, accustomed to everything in the past, but also eager to change, eager to break through. Perhaps tragedy is more likely to be a great work, so Karen habitually let the protagonist die in all her works, so that it became an obsession, "The protagonist of my work must die." In this work about Harold, it is no accident that the protagonist must die, and the plot also tells us that if Harold dies, this must be a great work. At the moment when Karen is closest to success, an accident occurs, Harold— — a character that should have been in the text — appeared in her life. Accidents are situations of no choice, but why should we accept planned deaths? Harold's self-rescue begins when he knows that he has become the protagonist of being killed. People can accept the phantom death, but not the real tragedy. Harold's self-help made Karen begin to reflect on whether my words are just my own assumptions about different lives, and my words really have no impact on the lives of others. The only thing I don't understand is that after reading the draft of the finale, Harold went to death unintentionally. Maybe it was because I didn't understand enough about life. Of course, Harold isn't dead, so Karen's work didn't turn out to be the great work it was supposed to be, so the movie didn't turn out to be a great work either. So it's still a comedy. To quote another commenter "Harold fulfills karen, makes her alive, karen fulfills harold, Let him still alive, the screenwriter fulfills our compassion, this story fulfills the film, the story in the story fulfills the story, who fulfills the life itself? ""There are such and such trivialities in life, such and such love, such and such fates will save our lives, and we must be the kind of people who can't bear to die even God." Like Maggie Gyllenhaal, like her performance, More because she is like the girl I liked.

    The novel in the film and the film itself constitute a wonderful double text, and the author of the novel is the double narrator in the film, regulating the progress of the film and the novel. When I typed out the last sentence, the screenwriter laughed and said nothing. Readers (professors and protagonists) in the movie give positive opinions, but they can't really lead. Readers (audiences) outside of the movie are the same with the screenwriter, whether they approve or not. Stories have their own mechanics, but also different ways of being structured.

  • [Harold is talking with a coworker, Dave, in the IRS archives]

    Harold Crick: Dave, I'm being followed.

    Dave: [looks around] How are you being followed? You're not moving.

    Harold Crick: It's by a voice.

    Dave: What?

    Dave: I'm being followed by a woman's voice.

    Dave: Okay. What is she saying?

    Harold Crick: She... She's narrating.

    Dave: Harold. You're standing at the water cooler? What is she narrating?

    Harold Crick: I... I had to stop filing. Watch. Listen, listen.

    Kay Eiffel: [as Harold resumes filing, Kay's voice is heard - but only to Harold] The sound the paper made against the folder had the same tone as a wave scraping against sand. And when Harold thought about it, he listened to enough waves every day to constitute what he imagined to be a deep and endless ocean...
