Spoiler alert : About Mitty's story

When I'm going to blog about a movie, it must either be one of my crossed out checklist or a movie that has left good impression on me. 

Trust me, I'm gonna blog about the latter one.

We (the babi buddies) didn't plan to watch this at first. I was expecting to watch the Hobbit or the Frozen instead of any new movies with no review like this heh.

HOWEVER, we did make a good choice, although some said Captain Phillip (another just-released NEW movie) is better, I think this is not a bad choice, at all.

Before the movie started, we were greeted by lotsof (I MEAN REALLY LOTS OF) advertisements -_- I was almost annoyed. But phew, the starting of the movie cheered me up a bit because it has a creative beginning. Creative, as in.. the placement of words-introduction of the casts of the movie.

It feels different, and I'm just gonna say it again, CREATIVE! (Y)

Then it was continued by some humour by the main character, Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) himself, who appears to be a daydreamer (oh my, that is so like me), who fantasizes things pretty melodramatic (way more dramatic than me) to the point that it is so unreal sometimes.

Hahaha, oh well dreams are meant to be dream - so out of reality yet exaggerative isn't it?

The effects - I must say is extremely dramatic - yet again thumbs up!

Still didn't know what the whole movie was about, I continued watching, anticipating of what's coming next.

Walter works for LIFE magazine at the 'Negative Assets' department. 

Okay, LIFE magazine means this whole movie has got something to do with journalism, and it's one of the many magazines (somehow related to photography) that I know of.

'Negative Assets' - something to do with photographs. And immediately I whispered to myself,
'Oh dear, this cannot be true'.

Really want to know what's gonna happen next and what kind of movie will this movie going to be.

Walter's imagination on the moving picture has spurred and dared himself to go for...

ADVENTURE.

The story continued with humour and more humour. The adventure began at Greenland, with only 8 human beings living in that country, lol. And when he almost gave up, his crush sort of motivated him in 'some way' and that led him to..

"Life is about COURAGE and going into the UNKNOWN."

For some reasons (cannot reveal too much :P ) his adventure continued at Iceland.

He has nothing really, only a knapsack, a handphone, and a skateboard and there he goes with

MORE adventure. :)

So fun right?? :D

To MY amazement, there was one scene in the movie where the photojournalist (in the movie) was standing (steadily) on a moving (some kind of )plane while taking the photograph of the volcano! :O Oh god, speaking of courage! I absolutely salute that. (I wonder if Nat Geo photographers did the same too. If it's a yes, that must be  really insane! :O)

After Iceland, he then travelled to Afghanistan and Himalaya to achieve his important mission.

All the views (in the movie) showing how the countries look like during hot and cold are amazing <3

"Beautiful things don't ask for attention.", said Sean O' Connell (the photojournalist)

So when Walter didn't complete his mission, he joined the locals

and enjoyed himself. :)

Well, the mission wasn't exactly incomplete though. Hehe, a series of lovely incidents happened and that finally led to a meaningful ending. :)

"You are Sean's partner, Walter. You complete his job."

....

(To those who haven't watched this movie, I'm sure you're surrounded with question marks after reading this. I just don't wanna be the 'complete' spoiler XD hahaha. You have to watch yourself to see whether you agree with my feedbacks, below :) )

Here are my feedbacks :

1. Y'know I've been hoping so much of a movie with photography as one/part of the main genre, and then this movie APPEARS. (dream comes true :'> )
2. As I  said, the movie started of with creativity, and that really gave a good impression to me. (I crazy love creativity just incase you don't know :P)
3. Thankfully it's funny, this doesn't make this movie boring at all. And another plus plus point was the adrenaline rush when Walter jumped onto the helicopter (I'm like sheez, this is where the real adventure begins!)
4. I like the whole concept of the movie. (Because it involves the genre(s) -travel, adventure, photography that I LOVE, that's why hahaha)
5. (refer no. 4) Nahh, the concept is basically about stop day-dreaming and start living/realising kind of theme. And the genres match the theme pretty well and  it just so happened that all of 'em are my fav. genres heh :P
6. Speaking of travel, this movie has totally inspired not only just me but everyone to travel. RIGHT, RIGHT? (To those who have watched, nod nod)
7. There was a little bit of confusion between the 'daydream' part and the 'reality' part in the movie, but I'm glad that they blended really well, and it wasn't too complicated. Fun in a way when I always question the person sitting next to me, "Is he dreaming, or is this reality?" Hahaha
8. Oh! The soundtrack is pretty good too.
9. And I like how the movie started with creativity and ended up meaningfully.
10. In a nutshell, it's just my kind of movie lah (insert heavy Malaysian slang here) :P

Of course, there are minor flaws in this movie, which I shalln't mention. To me, they are too minor to be noticed. This isn't the best movie of the year to me, (like how those Tumblr user talk/exaggerate about it), it's a nice movie to watch, if you go with zero expectation.
Note : ZERO expectation yeah.

If you don't expect anything the moment you enter the cinema, you'll enjoy the movie I can assure you, just like me. :)

I don't mind rewatching again if I were given another chance. Hehehe :>

...

And that's

The end.
