The Bucket List

There are films that entertain you, there are films that absorbs you, there are films that inspires you. The Bucket List a film that teaches you, from experience of life.

When you are 60, you have seen most of the spectrum that encompasses life. And when two old men, in their sixties, are lying on their death bed and make a wish list they want to do before they die, the journey they take would be the most special journey of their lives. Jack Nicholson/ Edward Cole, is a billionaire admitted into his own hospital for cancer. According to his own policies in his hospital, he has to share the room with Morgan Freeman/ Carter. Carter is a family man, wedded to a wife throughout his life with children and grandchildren. Cole, has married four times, has a child but are not in talking terms with her. The journey redifens the meaning of richness. One of the most beautiful moments that unravel in the film is when Cole kisses the most beautiful girl in the world. 

The film is a must watch. The theatres are empty, and it may fly out of it too soon... The story touches you from the heart and tries to tell you some little things about growing old, before you reach there, and to learn the meaning of being rich, being alive and living a momentous life.
