The Bucket List

Nobody wants to die alone......

*** This comment may contain spoilers ***

the movie starts with a depressing note... absolutely no music in the 1st half. The movie is a bit slow in the beginning but the tenderness of feeling can be demonstrated slow only. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are 2 cancer patients...Jack Nicholson is a billionaire and Morgan Freeman is a middle class man. Doctor tell them that they have months left. Then the movie gains some pace and also some background score, they make a list of things that they wanna do before they die (go into the bucket) and that is the "bucket list". In the remaining movie they try to do stuffs written in the list and one by one they do things and strike off from the list. The acting cant be criticized as they are the big guns. The screenplay may get the points in innovative script but rest is not out of ordinary...one particular thing about the movie is that Morgan Freeman narrates the story and in the end he dies...... Cinematography is good as the shots taken are very good and from the round the globe...for instance the image of Taj Mahal in the water in the backdrop as they are walking past it. Altogether a good movie.
