I spent my Sunday afternoon watching this movie, and let myself dream along with Walter. I really like the way his dream was visualized, in an amusing yet realistic way. I mean most of us spend our time daydreaming and sometimes without us realizing it, we're already zoning out, being fully indulged in our imagination, exactly like Walter Mitty. 

The story line of the movie itself is pretty simple, but I kinda enjoy the way it delivers its message. It's like telling us that all we need to do to make all the dreams come true is, take a step of courage, and there you go. It will all come along the way. We should stop dreaming and start doing. Cause it might be a way to find the real meaning of your own life. So what if it doesn't work? At least you had tried, at least you had experienced it yourself, or at the very least you had a story to tell. That leap of faith that we take might change our life, change the way we see the world, or help us to be a better person. IF only we want to try. 

Walter Mitty took us to places he once dreamed of going but never managed to visit till the later time of his life. The tedious Walter Mitty, who lives his dull life in New York, brings us to Greenland, Iceland, and Himalayas. And on the way there, he did lots of things that he had never imagined he would ever do. And when he got home, he realized that he had become another man, a better man, a man who took chances, and a man who daydreams less, because he has started doing. 

This message is what the movie is trying to deliver to us. 

The movie shows us great views of the places Walter Mitty passed en route to track down Sean O'Connell, the photographer of the photo who is supposed to be the cover for the final print issue. The helicopter ride and jumping-to-the-boat scene in the great ocean of Greenland, the volcano and the green lush of Iceland, the hike to Himalaya mountains, we are served with magnificent sights of each place throughout the movie. Those scenery indeed attracts me them one day. *crossfingers

Ben Stiller did a really good job acting serious in this movie, his serious dramatic acting here is as enjoyable as his funny comedic characters in other movies. He acted, directed, and produced this movie. And I think he did really good job in doing those three things. He is truly an entertainer. *twothumbsup

The movie is really simple, but the message is so meaningful, that I ended up smiling after watching it, as I realize I have to start doing something in my life too.:)

p.s: I noticed Adam Scott playing as the new boss here, and I couldn't stop laughing whenever he showed up in the screen, because he has left a very deep impression of Ben Wyatt, and I really like his character there which makes me not being able to hate him here (although he is supposed to be an annoying arrogant new boss) XD

p.s.s: If you are a fan of action movies or horror movies, this might not be a good choice. But if you like romantic comedy drama adventure meaningful movie, then this could be a real good choice. :)
