Review #11: The Movie: The Bucket List

I watched this movie knowing that I might end up crying sometime during the movie ,and I was right ,it made me cry just like I thought it would. I thought maybe I would get through it without crying ,but that was not possible with this movie. If you watch this movie for the first time or again after awhile of not watching it ,prepare for a good cry. Other than the movie making me cry ,I enjoyed watching it for the first time. Every time I watch movies or television ,I try to take away something useful from it ,and use it in my life to make my life better.

I thought this movie was inspiring because it basically says that it is never too late to start living. These men in the movie lived most of their life for business or family or both ,and they never really lived for themselves. When they both got some bad news about their health ,they decided to start living for themselves and make themselves happy instead of everyone else. For the rest of their lives ,they lived life too the fullest ,not wasting anymore time on things that did not make them happy. Part of what I got out of this movie was that, it is never too late to be happy. It is also never too late to change your life as long as you are breathing ,you can change things and make them better. Just because you get some bad news ,you do not have to let it control you or your life.

These two men went around the world and experienced a lot of things ,things that they probably would not have done if they had plenty of time to live. They also did some things that they always wanted to do or experience before they go. While experiencing all of these things ,they became close friends ,maybe like brothers ,and when it was over and they went back to their lives ,it did not feel the same as it was before. They were both grateful that they did it ,and they were able to mark off things on their list all the way up until the end. If you have not seen this movie yet ,I encourage anyone reading this to watch this movie because it is a good movie to give you some perspective on life ,that you might not have had before.
