I might basically give away the best part of the movie, so don't read this if you plan on seeing the movie.
Please someone watch the movie so we can talk, its worth seeing I think.

Stranger than Fiction was a very good movie. It basically made my heart / stomach turn to fire. I hated the ending, and want someone to explain to me why it happened that way. Basically, I need the director to come to school and explain why the hell it ended the way it did. That's besides the point. Here's how it relates to our class, or flips our class on its head:

In our last class we were talking about whether machines could replace humans in terms of authorship in literature.

I have to say, the thought kinda horrified me. In a number of literature classes I've attended, we try to take into account the ongoings of the writer's life, their pain and their joy and how or if that emerges in their works. I think part of what makes literature meaningful is this translation of human experience, in the hands of someone with talent, into material that can be shared by others.
