I wanted to see a feel-good movie -- something uplifting and gratifying. Also one that will satisfy my thirst for quality cinematography and substantial storyline. Here comes The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I've been planning to watch it when I saw the trailer the previous year (unfortunately, the cinemas here had this movie playing just this month). The story progresses from Walter drifting into his outrageous daydreams and later going out there into the real world embarking in actual adventures. It's a quintessential tale of dreaming and living. I don't know why but I'm so into dreams. I'm sort of a daydreamer myself (don't worry I don't space out too much). Teehee!
Ben Stiller directs and stars this crowd-pleasing romantic adventure fantasy comedy-drama alongside actors Kristen Wiig and Sean Penn. Basing on James Thurber's 1939 short story of the same title, the story will show viewers how Walter escapes his anonymous life zoning out into a domain where he is the hero and achiever. Walter Mitty (Stiller) is a Life magazine negative assets manager who takes action when his job and the rest of his fellow workers are threatened. He ventures into an intercontinental search for negative number 25 that's supposed to be the cover photo for their final edition. Following clues left by photojournalist Sean O'Connell (Penn), he travels the globe going through risky and exciting undertakings he never thought he'd experience without having to daydream.
If you are looking for carpe diem theme for a film then you better get
yourself in the cinema (or in front of your TV) now and watch this movie. Afterwards, you might
be planning on the next big adventure of your life Walter Mitty style.
