If you don't understand this movie, then you haven't figured out life yet.

Rating: 8/10 (13 November 2014)

This movie is about connection. Connecting to the world, connecting to people, connecting to family, and, most importantly, connecting to yourself. Walter Mitty is a normal guy who, in his past, had all these ideas of who he would become. He had dreams of traveling and seeing the world, but life happened. He became what many people have become; a simple person, completely ordinary, having dreams that were never fulfilled. He was stuck in the rut of daily life. He needed a push, and it came in the form of a photographer who spiked his curiosity. In this curiosity, Walter Mitty decided to embark on a journey that, otherwise, he would not have taken.
Most people need that push. Most people need a wake up call, and ALL people need connection. That moment when he took the long board down the streets in Iceland gave me chills. He finally connected to a part of himself that he had forgotten how much he loved.
I loved the contrast of the eHarmony vs. real physical contact. That brings me back to where a smile connected one to another, not a mouse click on a website.
You can comment on the acting, the lack of comedy, or the character flaws, but, in turn, you are missing the true message. This is an inspirational film that makes me want to embrace the joys of living. This life is all we have, so live it.
