When you think about the “Inkheart” story and the fact that the movie has been inspired by the best-seller novel of the same name written by Cornelia Funke, you somehow recall the story of “Lord of the Rings” or “Harry Potter,” movies which have been designed on the same concepts more or less.

Yet, “Inkheart” is thought to have considerable success in bringing the character from Funke’s book to life. The story is written to attract any audience who loves the books and understands their fantastic land.

Mortimer, the main character interpreted by Brendan Fraser, can really get the character out of the books he reads, only by reading aloud. He shares the same ability with his 12-year-old daughter, Meggie, who loves books as much as his father.

Yet, Mo and Meggie’s capacity has a drawn-back. Every time they read aloud and the fictional characters get out of the book and inhabit the real world, someone from this real world gets trapped into the pages of the book. Resa, Mo’s wife and Meggie’s mother, was trapped in “Inkheart” while Mo was reading to her.

But Resa entered exactly the book’s evil villain pages, the Capricorn, who came out in the real world. Starting that moment, Mo and Meggie start to search for another copy of the book and get Resa out of it. The Capricorn wants Mo to find another copy of “Inkheart” as to get the Shadow monster out of it.

Iain Softley directed the movie after a script written by playwright David Lindsay-Abaire, who had also written “Rabbit Hole” and who had won a Pulitzer Prize. The rich environments and the atmosphere designed in the movie reach to create a world full of fantasy, in which the stories come out in the real world and live among the normal people.
