Stranger Than Fiction

Dan and I watched this movie the other night. I had seen it before and loved it. Dan really liked it as well. If you haven't seen it I highly recommend it but will say that it is like no other movie I know of and even though Will Ferrell is the main character it is nothing like his other movies (although I think he is hilarious most of the time.) This was a serious role for him. The following doesn't really give too much away but just in case you don't want to know the ending don't read anymore. Here are the last lines of the movie which I love:

"As Harold took a bite of Bavarian sugar cookie, he finally felt as if everything was going to be ok. Sometimes, when we lose ourselves in fear and despair, in routine and constancy, in hopelessness and tragedy, we can thank God for Bavarian sugar cookies. And, fortunately, when there aren't any cookies, we can still find reassurance in a familiar hand on our skin, or a kind and loving gesture, or subtle encouragement, or a loving embrace, or an offer of comfort, not to mention hospital gurneys and nose plugs, an uneaten Danish, soft-spoken secrets, and Fender Stratocasters, and maybe the occasional piece of fiction. And we must remember that all these things, the nuances, the anomalies, the subtleties, which we assume only accessorize our days, are effective for a much larger and nobler cause. They are here to save our lives. I know the idea seems strange, but I also know that it just so happens to be true. And, so it was, a wristwatch saved Harold Crick."
