For dreaming and adventurous hearts

Rating: 10/10 (23 December 2013)

The premise of the film is simple: A man with a mundane job, shyness and a tendency for day dreaming. An ordinary start for a movie that becomes grand! How easy it is to develop empathy for the unlikely hero, after all how many of us don't live the life we wanted to live, how many of us have silenced that voice that screamed "Go! Do it! Live!". But don't think you'll find a heavy and sad drama; The Secret Life of Walter Mitty makes you cry as much as it makes you smile, it's one of those movies that makes you want to live, see the breathtaking view of the world, meet surprising people. The wise reader might say that I am exaggerating, and perhaps he is correct, because this movie touched me as it would touch anyone with a dreaming an adventurous heart stuck in the routine of a metropolis. My comings and goings in São Paulo tell me that Walter and I aren't the only ones to wish more of life. I hope you enjoy it as much as I did :)
