The Bucket List (2007)

The quiet mechanic Carter Chambers is a man with a great general culture; has been married for forty-five years with his beloved wife Virginia and has two sons - one lawyer the other engineer - and a violinist daughter. The caustic and bitter billionaire Edward Cole owns many hospitals, has many divorces and one missing daughter. Following the policy of Edward, his hospital makes no exception giving a private room to him and he shares the same room as Carter. Along the days, they become close to each other and when Edward finds in the garbage the bucket list that Carter had prepared, listing all he wanted to do before dying, he includes his own items and invites Carter to a journey of friendship, discoveries and redemption.

*Tagline: When he closed his eyes, his heart was opened.
*好久沒有在這裡胡言亂語了...當初這部電影上映時,光看卡司 - 兩位71歲(均為1937年出生)的老伯伯;不需要了解劇情,就知道絕對不能錯過,單單欣賞他們的演技,就夠吸引人了~
*Morgan Freeman真的好適合演充滿智慧的長者耶;同樣地,Jack Nicholson也是有錢花心"爺"的最佳詮釋者~
*如果今天這部戲由其他演員來演出,可能就不會這麼有趣吧;如果Morgan Freeman和Jack Nicholson角色互換,可能也不會這麼精彩吧~
*You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you......留待自己解讀吧~
*的確,無論是富翁或勞工,追求的東西或有不同,唯一相同的是: 在追求的途中,總是會錯過某些事物,錯過的遺憾,可能要許久才會發現,而遺憾的事就在於無法重新來過,花再多的時間和精力來挽回,能夠彌補的也非常有限;不過,只要願意想辦法彌補,結果總會是好的~
*聽說Morgan Freeman在新片Wanted(2008)中,飾演壞人,用他獨特具有磁性的嗓音來罵髒話,好像也是蠻令人期待的~
