Have you ever been told to watch something as its “Your type of film” and been not only appalled with it, but also began to wonder what possessed that person to watch it in the first place. It also makes me wonder what they actually think of you, to associate you with that film? The bucket list was a recommended chick flick by a close friend, So I thought I would give it ago.
The bucket list is a list of the things two men have always wanted to do but never go around to and feel they should before they ‘kick the bucket’. Morgan freeman and Jack Nicholson are both struck down with cancer and meet while undergoing treatment sharing a room. (For those interested there is mention of a PR stunt, when Edward Cole the owner of the hospital expresses the great importance of having two people per room yet when he is admitted demands a room of his own. His request is rejected as it would be bad PR) both men are told they have between 6months and a year to live. Carter the logical more reserved type makes a list of places he wants to see and cars he wanted to drive while Edward lists skydiving.
The outcome of the film is that all items are seen to in the list, this draws the two together and as you would expect both kicks the bucket with completed list and no regrets.
As you can imagine I cried and cried and cried! Until I think I wept my own body weight in tears.
From that I decided to write my own list of things I want to do before I die. (Pessimistic I know as I’m only 21) but I think this may kick me into touch to do something with myself during and after Uni. I know too many people that do the “I wish I did that when I had the chance”. So here is my list of things to do before ‘I kick the bucket.’
