The secret life of Walter Mitty

The secret life of Walter Mitty

”The secret life of Walter Mitty” is for everyone who needs some inspiration in their lives. This movie is released in 2013 and directed By Ben Stiller, who is also one of the leading actors. The movie is a mixture of comedy, fantasy, drama and adventure. In addition to Ben Stiller(Walter Mitty), other leading actors are Kristen Wiig(Cheryl) and Sean Penn(Sean O´Connel).

I have always liked movies containing comedy and fantasy. You don’t get bored, because the movie is full of excitement and funny parts. And that’s why I wanted to see this film.

The movie tells about Walter Mitty, middle-aged shy and quiet man, who works in “Life”- magazine. Walter doesn’t have an exciting life or that many friends, but he has everything in his day dreams. In his dreams he saves the world and gets the love of his life.  One day when he almost gets fired for work, he realizes that he had to do something with his life and travel to make memories. And while thinking a moment he travels to Greenland and Iceland, where he unexpectedly swims with sharks and climbs to worlds highest mountains.

After watching the movie, my first impressions were that it was great. The story was well done from beginning to end and it was also very instructive. All of the actors were plausible with their own way, and that’s why many people could identify to them. I could identify to main character, Walter, because he was like any normal person, who wanted to achieve something in his life. He fought hard and reached his target.

My favorite part of the movie was the scene, where Walter won his fear and spur of the moment jumped to the helicopter where he was afraid to go. But after jumping to helicopter, he realized what he has done and got nervous, but still was very proud of himself.  That part made me understand, that it’s good to be fearless and spontaneous sometimes, because then you can do what you have always wanted to do.

The atmosphere in the film was inspiring and rapid, but still warm and nice, that made the film very easy to follow. I didn’t even notice the time pass. After watching the film I realized that I can do anything I want, if I just work hard for it.
