Evaluation

I read Robert Ebert's evaluation on "The Bucket List" with Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson and he critisized it based on what the movie was about and the things that they did. First off he hated the fact that it was narrated by Morgan Freeman and the fact that they were both two patients dying of cancer and they made a list of "Things to do" before they both kick the old bucket. So, they do crazy things like go sky diving, race cars, visit the himilayas, taj mahal, the pyramids, honk kong and so forth.

I for one thought the movie was very cute and inspiring. It made me think about life and how it is too short to be bitter about death. If you have things left unfinished or you want to see certain things or experience certain things, GO DO THEM! Live a little before you die, so that when you do die, you are leaving a legacy behind. You want people to be proud that even though we were given the worse news in the world (you are going to live for one year) you fulfilled it with all the things you wanted. The things that were going to make you happy! That is what the movie should have told people. Not that because you have cancer it is impossible to live a little. I think that Roger thought it was ridiculous because you never see people living at all. You see people getting the news and having a piss poor attitude and feeling all sorry for themselves.

Life is too short to waste time feeling sorry for ourselves.
