Stranger than Fiction

The movie raises some question such as what our role in the world is and if we really shape our lives but according to Harold we might not shape our lives because the narrator is saying everything he is about to do and is doing and it accurately happens so this might mean that the world does shape our lives or some other force like a book or an author might shape our lives. Also the movie tries to answer if we have the freedom to choose for ourselves and the answer is that we do because Harold life seemed to already laid out but once he realized he wanted something different for his life he chose what he wanted to do and the narrator stopped narrating. When Harold is trying to figure out what book he is in possibly, the question comes up of how we are suppose to live our lives with so many uncertainties and lack of knowledge and the simple thing is just to choose what we want to do and expose our true personalities, Harold accomplishes this by taking off his job and buying a guitar that he always wanted and doing other things that he has wanted to do rather than doing the daily routine he had always done that was chosen for him.
