Stranger Than Fiction (2006) is one of the coolest films I've seen for a while. I think the idea for the film is just so good, it reminds me of The Truman Show but this one is definitely better. Stranger Than Fiction is about an ordinary man, Harold Crick. He is an IRS auditor who one day while brushing his teeth starts to hear a voice in his head narrating his life. Harold's life so far has been quite dull and lonely. He does the same things the same way every day but the narration starts to affect his entire life from his work, to his love-interests and to his death. I won't say anything else, everyone should watch it and see what happens!
This is the first scene of the film. Even after seeing these first few minutes I knew it was going to be brilliant. Harold likes to count a lot of things in his life, for example, brushing his teeth 38 times back and forth and 38 times up and down, he would run 57 steps per block for six blocks to catch the 8.17 bus to work and so on.. the graphics in this scene showing the things he counts etc. are great! They go with the scene and Harold's character so well.
Emma Thompson is great in it aswell.
