The film has a lot of layers to it. Author Clay Hammond (Dennis Quaid) is reading from his novel, "The Words." The film then goes on about the novel of a struggling writer (Bradley Cooper) and his wife (Zoe Saldana). While the struggling writer is honeymooning in Paris he comes across an old novel which he passes off as his own. The novel is about an American in Paris at the end of WWII, which becomes a story within a story within the movie.

As it turns out the author is still alive. As we glimpse back to the present, Clay Hammond is being seduced by a college student (Olivia Wilde) who is fascinated with his work.

The movie attempts to deal with the guilt people feel for doing the wrong thing, then being unable to atone for it. Actions have consequences that sometimes cannot be made correct. Unfortunately the ending proved predictable for a fine story.

Parental Guide: 8 F-bombs. No sex or nudity. Implied sex.

“The Words” is a US movie that was shown in theatres in 2012 and released on DVD in 2013. Here is some basic information about it:

** Directed by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal
** Written by Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal
** Run time: ca. 100 minutes

I do not want to spoil the viewing for anyone. Therefore I am not going to reveal too much. I will only tell you how the story begins so you understand the structure of the movie.

THE FIRST LAYER. A famous author is reading from his latest book. He is reading to an audience in a grand hall. The title of his book is “The Words.”

THE SECOND LAYER. The book is about a young author who discovers an old manuscript in an old briefcase. When he reads it, he realises that it is brilliant. He says to himself: “I wish I had written this.” After some hesitation, he decides to get it published under his own name. It is an instant hit. He becomes famous. The problem is his fame is based on words written by someone else.

THE THIRD LAYER. The old manuscript is about a young man (a US soldier) and a young women who meet in Paris at the end of World War Two.

As you can see, this movie is a multi-layered story, with one story inside another. This structure can be compared to Chinese boxes or Russian dolls. When you open the first, what do you find? A second that looks like the first, only smaller. When you open the second, what do you find? A third that looks like the second, only smaller. This structure is quite interesting. Perhaps not unique, but still quite interesting.

The structure is like a riddle or a giant jig saw puzzle. The question is: can you solve the riddle? Can you complete the puzzle?

We're to imagine a famous author, Clayton Hammond (Dennis Quaid), giving a public reading of his novel "The Words." As he talks, we see enacted the scenes he's reading -- scenes from the life of a young writer called Rory Jansen (Bradley Cooper), who, after failing to get several manuscripts published, succeeds with a manuscript that he didn't write but passed off to an agent as his own work. In fact, he had found the manuscript in an old briefcase that his wife (Zoe Saldana) had bought for him in a second-hand shop in Paris. His wife doesn't know about the manuscript, so when it gets published, she, like the agent, thinks that it's Rory's own work. The book wins awards, and Rory becomes rich and famous. As this story is unfolding, we see some scenes and we hear Clayton's voice connecting them -- so we never lose sight of the fact that what we're seeing is what's being read in public by Clayton.

There comes a point in Clayton's story when an old man (Jeremy Irons) tells Rory that he wrote the manuscript half-a-century earlier in Paris, after the death of his child, and that he lost it when his wife inadvertently left it on a train. THIS story, told to Rory alone as he and the old man sit on a bench in Central Park, is in turn dramatized -- we see scenes of Paris after the war and the young version of the old man (Ben Barnes) suffering the losses he describes and writing his manuscript while his wife, distraught after the death of the child, is at her parents' home in another city. He sends the completed manuscript to her, and it is as she returns to Paris that she leaves it on the train. SO -- there's Clayton's overarching story, partly dramatized, which includes within it a story, in its turn partially dramatized too.

"There's more than one way to take a life.” - Movie tagline

“The Words” is a beautifully-filmed, art house-perfect movie about human motivations, personal decisions, ultimate regrets, and hope. It stars a great cast of Bradley Cooper, Zoe Saldana, Dennis Quaid, Olivia Wilde, J.K Simmons, and a gripping performance by Jeremy Irons, among others. Well-acted by all, it tells the story of a struggling writer trying to get his first book accepted by any publishing house and not having any luck. He has a live-in girlfriend and a father who is footing his bills, and suddenly his luck changes when a great temptation appears and begins seducing him. But there are levels within levels in this movie which is really a tale of different time periods and decisions made in each. And how does Clay fit in? To no one’s surprise because of the scope of the movie and time periods, there are two excellent directors, who are also the writers: Brian Klugman and Lee Sternthal. Music by Marcelo Zarvos. Cinematography by Antonio Calvach. Highly Recommended. Five COMPELLING Stars. (Amazon Instant Video. PG-13 rating, English and Italian.)
