The bucket list is not a very new movie.Well I did not know anything about the movie.Its my friend who said lets watch it. I would suggest to add this movie into your 'to watch' list!
It is really a wonderful movie.It is a story of two terminally ill men.How they escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die.The two lead characters Carter and Edward are played by Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson. Edward is a very rich and famous man, people find very hard to work with him.He is all alone, his pursuit of money has left him without any family or friends. On the other side, Carter is a very very knowledgeable man.He is still married with three children.He is a mechanic by profession and earns just sufficient to raise the family.But the most important aspect of carter's character is his general knowledge.He knows almost everything about anything.He has been reading a lot of books.Now these two completely different people are in the same room of the hospital.They understand that they do not have much time now.Here comes the bucket list.Carter lists his "things to do before dying". Edward reads that and convinces Carter to do all those things they have always wanted to do before they die.Now the journey begins. They travel a lot.I wont say around the world but almost around the world.
The journey is not important, what is important is what they become after the journey.What they feel after the journey.Edward gets back in touch with his daughter and Carter spends wonderful time with his family.
In Egypt, Carter describes the two questions.Ancient egyptians believe that when you die god asks you two question
1. Have you found joy in your life?
2. Has your life brought joy to others?
Do we have answers to this question?
