Premiered on the Sundance Film Festival in 2012, Brian Klugman's and Lee Sternthal's The Words stars the pleiad of brilliant actors: Olivia Wilde, Zoe Saldana, Bradley Cooper, Dennis Quaid and Jeremy Irons. And even if you are not an admirer of Olivia and Zoe beauty nor fan of Bradley and Denis play, you will be definitely vanquished by outstanding screenplay of this movie. Although it was a directorial debut of Klugman and Sternthal, the film has gained mostly positive reviews from critics. Three stories nested on in one as Russian Matrioshka, each with separate narration and distinctive filming style fascinate you with an extraordinary tightly knitted plot about thievery of novel, a common plagiarism that encounters on every corner of the world. And as it often happens in a true life, this stealing never leads to a happier life. In The Words, a stagnating writer Rory Jansen, who has totally surrounded to a life of boredom without any glimpse of inspiration, suddenly finds a mysterious manuscript which turns to be an unbelievable exciting novel. Rory decides to publish this novel as his own thanks to the fact the manuscript was not signed by author. Years later, basking in the rays of glory, he meets The Old Man, who apparently turns to be the novel's creator. From that moment Rory gradually understands what price he has to pay for his false success.
