Review Film “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”

Daydreaming. Activities of the human consciousness that can lead us to forget for a moment about the reality and bring us to another limit world as we wish. That’s happened to Mitty in the middle of her already messy life. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty’s latest film Ben Stiller is also directed by him. This film is adaptation from classic short story.

Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) is a worker in LIFE magazine. He is the compiler of photos for the cover of LIFE magazine. Until one day, the magazine where he works should be closed and ended by making one cover edition. And the problem is, the photo number 25 cliché that will be the cover of the magazine is not found in the package sent by Sean O ‘Connell.

For that reason he always being chased by Ted as his boss and also who is being the leader for this last project. Mitty was confused and had to chase Sean who was in Greenland. With the help of Cheryl, Mitty was eager to find Sean and fight his daydreaming habits at important moments.

This beautiful movie is a movie that can have a connection with the audience. Connection happens because the audience has experienced the incident. Who does not daydream? To imagine a better life, to imagine more beautiful things, or to imagine the impossible to do. Obviously, everybody imagined that. And that is, the connection that will make this movie personal for the audience. A simple movie is as simple as the poster of a person’s struggle that can only wish to finally do something impossible to do. When a quote from LIFE magazine which is practically a guide in all series of stories is presented in a way that is so unique in every scene. The more quote gets an increasingly important portion, the intensity of its appearance will be more frequent and with a unique approach.

The Secret of Waltter Mitty teaches a lot to us. Teach us about a great hope if we have a great will. Teaches us not only to delight in wonders but also to make what we imagine to be something real. Not that the average person does not have the usual experience, does it? Make something big and big change  come into your life. Because like the older people saying that “Experience is the greatest teacher” and we can’t buy an experience but we can live with that experience.
