The Bucket List
As we are leaving this magic time between Christmas and New Year one could ask me why
I’m going to tell you about a film dealing with death. Despite its inevitable end, this movie
carries the magic of dreams becoming true, the intensity of Life and makes people feel happy
even if they cry.
This comedy-drama film, directed by Rob Reiner and
written by Justin Zackham, was opened in wide release
on the beginning of year 2008. The plot : two men,
Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) a mechanic, and
Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) a billionaire Hospital
director who are both diagnosed with terminal lung
cancer. They happen to be in the same hospital room so
a friendship between them begins. One day, Carter
decided to write a list of things he would like to do
before he “kicks the bucket”, but hearing that he had
less than a year left, he wrinkled the paper and threw it
away. Edward discovered the list and convinced his
friend to fulfill every dream he had written, also adding
other ideas and promising to pay all costs.
And so begins their wonderful vacation, escaping
responsibility and death.
Certainly one of the most intense human story that
makes you laugh and cry.
