The Secret Life of Walter Mitty review
Daniel Corleone - wrote on 02/02/14
"To see the world, things dangerous to come to, to see behind walls, draw closer, to find each other and to feel. That is the purpose of life." This reviewer is a sucker for life related quotes or films, this is definitely one of them. From the character development, spectacular cinematography, skilled cut scenes, acting and vibrant soundtrack, this picture was a fresh of breath air. The actor/director even utilizes gestures in certain scenes coupled with focus shots rarely scene in today's age. So many memorable lines: "Life is about courage and going into the unknown." from Cheryl, "If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it." from Sean and "Good. Less is good!" from Todd. Subjects of transformation, change, love, bravery and friendships were tackled. Only reservations/observations this critic had were the believability of his cellphone still functioning after getting wet and not being charged for more than a day. Engaging from start to finish, only a few people would probably admire The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Overall, this was a delightful treat despite some minor flaws.
