The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

Its definitely doing it's own thing and not a good movie to watch for an action movie. It is however one of my favorite works of cinema. I feel like to many movies are trying to tell a cool story. They forget the story part alot of the time and loose what makes cinema truly great. Not to say that this movie is the greatest ever. It just conveys a message in an abstract way that makes you want to engage more with the story.

What can I say in defense of this refreshing and heartwarming film from actor director Ben Stiller . Well I can start by disagreeing with another posters statement that this is his worst film ever . Or another that stated it was a good movie to fall asleep to . I would like to suggest that they perhaps watch Greenburg from 2010 . Sorry Ben . This movie is the story of a man who works at Life ( magazine) and has not experienced any of the true wonders that life has to offer . Except maybe through the photos of a photographer named Sean . Bens character has admired the man for years and been an advocate for his work throughout his career . A series of events push Walter into a journey of epic proportions around the globe in search of a lost photo . Along his adventure Walter begins to find what it is he a really lost . This is a wonderful film . I encourage you to see . Until next time , enough said

I quite enjoyed this understated (for Ben Stiller) romantic comedy. An amusing look at the life we wish we had while missing out on what's in front of us...until a leap of faith is taken and life turns out to be not so ordinary after all.
