The Shadow Catcher and Sophie’s world have a similarity. They both have complex stories. Marianne Wiggins did not tell the story directly. She always had the readers think and the stories were full of twists. She wrote two different stories in one book and connected them at the end. These two different plots can easily confuse a reader. Jostein Gaarder also made the readers think while they read. The whole story is kind of mysterious. Sophie got mail, a video cassette, and a Hilde letter from a person she never met. The story does not make sense in real life, but it makes the reader curious and continues them to read.
Recently, there are many books and movies that have a complex story. Inception is an example. I was very confused throughout the entire movie. Even when I came out of the theater, I could not stop thinking about the movie. Inception did not end when the movie ended. I started a thought process which left me with millions of unanswered questions. It has a twisted story and has a multiple layered plot like The Shadow Catcher.
In the 21st century, the world is full of complexity, and people enjoy it. The Shadow Catcher, Sophie’s World, and Inception challenge the viewer but also respect the viewer’s intelligence.
