The Bucket List !!!


Some months back I happened to watch this movie.. I need to say it was one of the best movies I've ever seen.. I love Morgan Freeman's (Carter Chambers in movie) acting and this one had Jack Nicholson (needless to mention his performance in movie 'Departed') too in it.. thereby making it an excellent movie :).. All I loved about the movie, is its story.. It brought tears in my eyes towards the end..


The movie is about two people from entirely different backgrounds, one being a mechanic and the other being a hospital owner.. They both meet in a hospital owned by Jack Nicholson( Edward Cole in movie).. Within a few days either of them find out that they are on their death bed affected by cancer.. Its when Morgan Freeman writes this 'Bucket List' ... The list of activities which he would love to do before he kicks the bucket.. Jack Nicholson joins with him and together form a list ranging from skydiving, mountaineering to Dinners and partying...


The one scene which really swept me off my feet was when Jack Nicholson kisses his grand daughter and strikes off 'Kiss the most beautiful girl on earth' from his Bucket List.. One particular thing that needs special mention is the character of Edward Cole which i felt was portrayed so well.. He was transformed from a guy who wasn't worried about anything to such a philosophical person when Carter died.. The speech which he makes during Carter's funeral was way too good !!..


One thing what i felt from the movie was a ' true relationship' can change anyone.. Its just that such true relationships are so rare to find now-a-days.. The tag line of this movie also sounds too touchy.. It goes like this 'When his eyes closed, his hearts opened !!! '... Aint that good to hear ?!..
