If you can’t go to the Cinema, why not bring it back to you at your home silver screen. It seems a nice movie to watch. With Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson starring in it, it is hard just to let it pass.
Corprate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find the joy in life.
I find the story pretty amusing, especially when Freeman reveal the origin on Kopi Luwak. And heartfelt emotion to listen to the eulogy made by Nicholson during the funeral service.
Being able to work on the Bucket List is simply amazing. Given the time frame and knowing when they are dying, one is able to work out a list. A top list that they wanted to do before kicking the bucket, its just like completing those important things in life. Otherwise live life regretting it. We only live once.
Cole goes on to live for several more years. When he finally passes away, he has his ashes, which were placed inside a Chock Full o’ Nuts coffee can, buried alongside Chambers’s, also in the same type of can, on the top of Mount Everest, which Chambers (who has been narrating the film) mentions that Cole would have liked, as it was against the law. Matthew does this and as he does so he crosses off the last item on the Bucket List (witness something truly majestic) and buries it with them.
It must be noted that there is a certain irony pertaining to the coffee can. In the beginning of the movie, one can see Chambers flick the ashes from his cigarette into a Chock Full o’ Nuts can in the body shop, just before he receives the call that informs him he has lung cancer.
