The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

I recently saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty with my parents and it was quite incredible. I will say, from the perspective of myself, that it was one of the most incredible movies I have ever seen. I was on the verge of tears the entire move and cried myself to sleep that night in awe. People on the internet say that the characters lack development and the story is missing the meat but I disagree extremely strongly.

Maybe that is because I am easily inspired and easily impressed by things like this. The softer focus made it appear dream like and I felt like I didn't want to wake up. It also inspires me because I know I am blossoming into the person I want to be, just like Walter did. I am going out and hiking throughout Washington and have a trip to Alaska planned. I cannot wait to see these beautiful places and go these places with beautiful people. And a new goal of mine, backpacking in Iceland. I could go on about this movie for a really long time, but truth is I really don't even know how to word my feelings about it. It was adorable, inspiring, courageous, beautiful, and so many more things.

I would highly highly recommend this movie to everyone, I plan on seeing it again very soon, I do wish it was showing in IMAX though, my one complaint. Ever since the trailer came out I have been waiting to see this and it did not disappoint my expectations in any way. I know this won't be the best movie to everyone, but it is to me. Also, its surprisingly hilarious and I have never laughed that loud at a movie, just saying. Below is Dirty Paws by Of Monsters and Men, featured in the trailer and movie. Just another thing that inspires me.

"To see the world, 

things dangerous to come to, 

to see behind walls, 

draw closer,

 to find each other and to feel. 

That is the purpose of life."
