TITLE : The Bucket List
CAST :Jack Nicholson, Morgan Freeman
MY RATING : 9/10
This is one movie which I somehow overlooked a long time though I have heard of it many times. Glad that I saw it anyway.
Perhaps this movie will go down as one of my favourite movies that I have seen. Beautifully scripted and filled with dry humour and emotions. The movie is all about two old men who decide to finally live out their last days doing what they wanted to do the most.
“The Bucket List” – Its suppose to be a list of things what we wanted to do before we kick the bucket. I somehow liked the concept. Its not too common, I mean the wish list concept but this one made an impact on me. Perhaps I would write a bucket list for myself.
Two old men who are about 6 months from their DEATH (I choose to put it very crude) sky diving, going around the world, racing and driving mustang somehow made me think. Maybe it affected me more so cos am bored to death in this place. I always had this philosophy of “Life can never be boring if u had the heart for it”. This movie stood perfect testimony for it.
It would be a mistake if I don’t mention the cast of this film and the awesome show they both have put on. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. OMG !!! I am easily carried away by Jack’s character in the film. Rich and lonely. I somehow found an affinity towards his character though maybe am not as rich as he is, atleast not yet.
“Am worried about being buried after my death, am claustrophobic” – Made me smile.
Being the nutcase as I am and the weird notions that my mind believe; given a chance I would go for Jack’s life than freeman’s. That’s me, maybe not.
In short, it’s a really nice movie and it made my evening.
