The Bucket List

The Bucket List is a movie to watch, if you are looking for a movie that not only encourages you to look at life at a different perspective, but also one that does not preach positivism.

I am awestruck at the simplicity of this movie yet being able to deliver the essence of humanity so clearly.

Sometimes we deviate from experiencing the little joys in life. We limit ourselves, rationalizing that what we want isn't necessary what is acceptable within this society. So we end up conforming to what the society deems right for us to do at a certain age.

Sometimes we fail to see the beauty in the simplicity life presents itself in. We complicate life, and by doing so complicate everything associated to it, including our miserable selves. How far we have failed to notice the little things in life that color our lives, perhaps more beautifully than we ever could understand.

Respecting the scriptwriter of this simple movie, I think that it is time life is looked from a different perspective. While working hard to achieve what is achievable is commendable, but sometimes, we should slow down and just appreciate the times we spend with those we love, those moments when all we could is laugh and laugh and laugh until we tear, those times when we look into beloveds' eyes and understand the meaning of love...

Accompanying this movie is John Mayer's "Say" which has also sparked a fresh inspiration within me. What more can I say about this movie and the theme song? Simply remarkable.
