It's All a Plot

Life doesn't have plots, but novels, films and TV do, which implants the idea that art naturally imitates life. I think it's the other way around: life actually imitates the existing art (stories, tropes, myths, narratives). Real life is typically boring and/or routine, but the act of filming it (e.g. Warhol's 'Sleep'), and reality-based TV, naturally conjure narratives and characters, which ultimately are commingled in memory, and we can't tell them apart: Once a person becomes a character on TV, we sometimes can't separate script from actual speech. (Did they say that or was it just their lines?)

Some physicists have posited that the universe is really a movie made by God. We are all potential celebrities in stories (screenplays) being attached to reality. Just think of how many made-for-TV stories have become the current Reality.

No plots are necessary because the movie has already been made and is currently being shown.
