Who doesn't want to know where they come from? Is there someone behind the scenes?

There are not many good movies I have watched recently. In fact, this movie is just OK. The male protagonist finds that his life is in a novel, and everything he does hears a voice arranging his life. Everything, be it lonely, euphoric or romantic, until he heard that voice saying he was dying. He just wanted to find the writer who wrote his life and wanted to change his destiny, but~

When I was very young, I often thought about this question, where did I come from? Why have ideas? What is the cause of what happened around you? If your life is also a novel, who is the author? What will my life be like when I am 20, 30, 40, 50 years old? How will I die, where will I be before I die? What does it feel like to die? Who is arranging all this? I don't know how many times I thought about it, but I always gave up without an answer. Then continue what to do. This film made me think about these issues that I have forgotten for a long time. It turned out that I was not just thinking about it, but also wrote it into a movie.

I really like the song that the hero sings to the heroine~THE WHOLD WILD WORLD, the lyrics are beautiful: When I was very young, my mother told me that there is a woman in this world that belongs to you and can be anywhere, so I am full of Go all over the world, just to find her...

  • [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...
