Postmodern art is described on World Wide Art Resources (absolute arts.com) as a movement that encourages the mix of ideas, medias, and forms to promote parody, humor, and irony. In the film Stranger Than Fiction, the Protagonist makes the humor very evident through out the entire film. As for the irony, the film presents a various amount of dramatic irony. One example of this would be when the narrator says “little did he know”. With that being said, it explains that the Protagonist ( Harold Crick) is lacking knowledge about himself. Which also means that the audience is also lacking knowledge. I found this film interesting simply because of the message it aimed toward the audience. At first impression, I seen the film as just another hilarious movie starring Will Farrel. After actually analyzing the film, the message became clear. The moral of the story is Live you life. The protagonist lives a very structured and organized life. So organized that his every move is planned and timed to the very second. The protagonist does not see a problem with the way he is living his life until he is under the impression that he is going to die. It is then realized how much more there is to life, and how much of it he has not lived. As everything starts to unfold, the audience can step by step watch the protagonists eyes begin to open. The protagonist slowly learns what is important in life, and also what can be worth dieing for. Stranger Than Fiction is the perfect film to start a narrative film class with. This movie is a complex mixture of narrative literature, and narrative film. The audiences get a detailed view from both angles. The audience gets the narrative literature while watching the narrative film. This entire film is constructed around an unfinished narrated book that is in the process of reaching a conclusion, and that is what makes Stranger than Fiction supportive towards both literary work and film.
