the bucket list.


a sad but inspiring movie. it shows the hope after all the positive is taken out of life. two ill people prevent their terminal illness from ruining their life. the experiences we see throughout the movie are told from the point of view of morgan freeman, one of the two ill characters. morgan's soft voice is always a good thing to hear as it easily brings the audience along in the story (think of the shawshank redemption) in my own personal opinion, many of the things they experienced caused me to say under different health conditions "i wish that was me" traveling on a private jet from a safari in africa to the sky for a little skydiving sessions. many of the different things seen in the movie cause plenty of mixed reaction when we see the sad reality block the hopes for life. overall a cute movie.

i have a simple question derived from a part of the movie.

1. if you were given the opportunity to know the exact day of your death, would you like to know?

The movie might leave you to ponder your life and how you need to do things you have always wanted to do before it's to late. "Carpe Diem"
I liked how Jack Nicholson took charge in the movie and made things happen, i love when a plan comes together, especially trips with friends.

Overall I would recommend this movie it's not very action packed it more of a lighthearted drama for all the baby boomers out there.
