How often does it happen that we see movies which have writers as principal characters, although it is the writers who pen down the films we see. Today, let's check some of the films which gave us a peek into the writer's world.

The Cinemaholic

Over time, cinema has captured various professions, we get a glimpse of individuals from different fields. But it’s not very often that we find a cinema showing us the lives of writers who are important people for cinema to exist in the first place.

Today, we at BuzzPedia have brought some films which present us with some glimpses of the writers’ lives-

1. Paterson

In the vein of films on poets, here’s another one depicting a poet’s day-to-day living.

Kill Your Darlings (directed by John Krokidas) explores the narrative of what happens when a murder brings these three prominent beat poets together in their younger years (1944).

3. Stranger Than Fiction

If you didn’t think a Will Ferrell film could make you cry, you haven’t seen this one. Or maybe we are just a crier. In any case, Marc Forster’s love drama/fantasy/comedy is worth seeing.

It’s about Harold Crick (Will Ferrell), a man whose life is turned upside down when he discovers that his life is being written by a famous author (Emma Thompson).

Dustin Hoffman, Maggie Gyllenhaal, and Queen Latifah also star.

4. The Ghost Writer

It is a political thriller based on the narrative of a ghostwriter hired to produce an autobiography of a former British Prime Minister.

An accident claimed the life of the previous author who was working on this project. Although the contract appears good, the work entails learning far more than the main character had anticipated.

All of this culminates in a series of perilous and life-threatening escapades.

5. Becoming Jane

Becoming Jane is a biographical drama about Jane Austen, a mysterious 20-year-old woman, and Thomas Lefroy, her romantic interest.
