Resonates with you, hours after the movie has ended.

Rating: 10/10 (27 December 2013)

I can not get this movie out of my head. It truly stays with you, for hours after the credits have rolled and you've returned home. It has been a while since a movie has done that for me and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty achieved this easily. Every aspect of this movie was immaculately done, from the characters to the acting to the cinematography to the music. Everything fit so well together, like pieces of a puzzle that only you were looking at. From the second the film began, I could tell that this was going to be a movie that would resonate. The music is extremely well-chosen and the score is perfect for each scene. Each song made me feel the emotions that Ben Stiller wanted me to feel; excellent music. The colors and the scenery of this film are impeccable. I can not get it out of my head. The scene where Ben Stiller longboards through Iceland may be the most beautiful scene I've witnessed in a movie to date. There's something about that scene, with no words, and the music...It's a beautiful scene. More than anything else that this movie does, it makes you feel something. Something more than "Well, that was a good film" or "What a beautiful movie." It was a feeling that there is really something more out there for everyone. The feeling that Walter Mitty is in all of us, especially in this day and age, where we're stuck more than ever. The feeling that we can do anything. And if a film can make you feel that, then what more could you want?
