Today I happen to see "The Bucket List". Academy Award winners Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman star in the comedy drama," a touching, no-holds-barred adventure that shows it's never too late to live life to its fullest. Morgan Freemans' philosophy professor suggested that his students compose a "bucket list," a collection of all the things they wanted to do, see and experience in life before they kicked the bucket. But while Morgan was still trying to define his private dreams and plans, reality intruded in the form of Marriage, children, myriad responsibilities and gradually turned his concept of a bucket list into little more than a bittersweet memory of lost opportunities. Meanwhile, corporate billionaire Jack Nicholson who was always too busy making money and building an empire to think about what his deeper needs ends up in Morgans cabin. Thats when life delivers an urgent and unexpected wake-up call to both of them. Both decide not to give up or hope for some miracle. They decide to persue their pressing desire to spend the left out time doing everything they ever wanted to do before kicking the bucket. So against doctors order and family's refusal two virtual strangers hit the road together for the adventure of a lifetime- from the Taj Mahal to the Pyramids, the finest restaurants to the seediest tattoo parlors, the cockpit of vintage race cars to the open door of a prop plane- with just a sheet of paper, Adding and crossing items off their list while taking in the grandeur and beauty of the world.
The movie really made me think to work on my bucket list as well. Everyone have some unfulfiled desires and sometimes we just need a deadline to get our life in gear.
