It’s been a while since I wrote, for some reason life gets
in the way of all things you would like to do, but I just like every other
writer, writes from a special place in our hearts, when its touched we simply can not resist sharing the moment. I watched a very beautiful movie last night, in that its plainly, inexplicably, purely and
naturally beautiful.
The secret life of Walter Mitty, was about a very ordinary
man who was lost in the circumstances of his life, living in day dreams that
could be reality, forgetting to stop dreaming and to start living, deciding to stay in the comfort of his living, slightly reaching out to what he would like to be doing, this was a man who loved the beauty of the world and
its wonders but did not do anything about it, his only opportunity to see the world, was through developing images selected for the cover of LIFE, in
itself an exceptional magazine.
We tend to forget the people that help create a wonder,
people that help create moments, and even more importantly the people who record
this moments, it’s a sacrifice that is being made, and this movie lays emphasis
on just how important this people are.
The motor of Life magazine is “To see the world, things dangerous to
come to, to see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other and to feel.
That is the purpose of Life.” The character experienced encompassing all of the
above stated, he flew to Greenland, almost got eaten by a shark, almost got
killed by a volcano, went to the high Himalayas, which I think I would like to go someday, he eventually left his comfort zone to find something that was in
his pocket, the negative of an image that was said to be the Quintessence of
life which it really was, the individuals making their little marks, creating
history through every day living.
The Cinematography was well done, the little
writings on very unconscious surfaces was intriguing, I don’t think
I am doing this movie justice enough, please watch it, it would keep you in a
special place unnamed, beautiful warm and unbelievable..
