But I think that was part of the point. <br /><br />That's where I see the dichotomy of the story rooted DEEPEST in the fiction being the most relatable, the most real. <br /><br />The Dennis Quaid character we don't like, but he's the reality. <br /><br />What I took from the conversation at the end between Dennis Quaid and Olivia Wilde was that yes, he was writing at least some truth about how he let his writing and his words get in between him and his wife in real life. And that led him to living in his fictional world where he could hold on to her instead of moving on. Olivia Wilde's character, although I don't like EITHER of the characters personally, her point was to question that and say...live in the words or move on with me, right now, and live life. They left it open as to what he chose.<br /><br />The other stories were Dennis Quaid's character's way of living in his own world, and figuring out his own life. <br /><br />The fact that he was the truest about life and love in the most fictional story really says something.<br /><br />As someone who knows authors, aspiring authors, and has even dabbled at writing my own novels, I can connect to all 3 stories and enjoy the juxtoposition of them and really feel all of them.Aubreyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01993824625567055858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5458269007546014175.post-51049429645540745832012-09-12T17:11:47.829-04:002012-09-12T17:11:47.829-04:00Everything is sort of dull and uninteresting, unti...Everything is sort of dull and uninteresting, until Jeremy Irons comes in and makes the film a whole lot more exciting with his act and back story, but there’s nothing else to it all that much other than that. Could have been a whole lot more thrilling if you think about it.
