In "Stranger than Fiction" (the film), the main character's (Harold Crick, played by Will Ferrell) life is narrated by an seemingly protagonist-omniscient voice who able to speak about Harold's life and adds color commentary. When Harold finally gets annoyed by this voice, he first consults a psychologist, then consults a professor of literature (played by Dustin Hoffman) who goes through 23 questions to decide what kind of story Harold's life has become.
I just thought that it was an interesting concept for a movie to play on a character knowing his own fate (in a way) and in a similar way to which we would guess the action and direction of a movie.
