In this movie, the man, Crick, heard a mysterious voice one day. This voice indicates the details in Crick's life. For example, the voice knows Crick is counting times when he is brushing his teeth. It's like his life is told by someone else. Crick is an IRS agent who lives in a boring life. He's alone no matter in work and the relationship with woman. One day, he meets a woman, Anna, by making a tax inspection. Anna is a baker who does evade tax on purpose. Anna dislikes Crick at first, but she gradually changes during the process of getting along with him. Crick is still troubled with this voice, so he turns to a professor for help. This voice affects Crick's performance in his work. His boss suggests him to take a rest. When he is on vacation, he begins to make some changes in his invariable boring life. He starts to enjoy his life.On the other hand, the professor tries to help Crick identify the voice. He names a list for Crick. At the same time, Crick discovers the true identity of the mysterious voice by accident. It's a voice of a female writer who always writes tragedy ending. Crick finds her and asks her to change the ending. However, the professor doesn't approve this idea. After reading the ending, Crick realizes that his death is the best ending for this master piece. In the end, the writer decides to change the ending.
Why do I think this movie is interesting? It may be the concern of death. When a person knows that he or she is going to die, what would they choose to do? Facing it bravely or escaping. Besides, when a writer writes about works about tragedy which happened in real life, would he or she change the ending in order to save others' life which is a kind of breaking principles? This is really interesting.

Compare to save people's life, breaking one's principles is nothing, at least that's what I think. But when I saw then movie, I thought it was terrible if someone could decide my life.
When I was in NCHU last year, I saw the drama version played by the FLLD senior students of Stranger than Fiction. At first I couldn't totally unerstand why there is a voice murmuring. At last I understood. It's a special movie for people to think about.
