A joyful road to death...
"Find the joy in your life"
Two of the best actors in the world will make you laugh and cry, in what is a 1hour 39 minutes of pure art.
Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson compete each other for the kudos. There is no image wizardry, no steamy scenes or besotting beauties but pure emotion and maginificent portrayal.
"Everybody is afraid to die alone"
The way Nicholson and Freeman help each other to find the joys in their life and the way the bucket list is completed, the director needs a praise...
The scene where Freeman goes to his house and rings the bell,instead of opening it with his own key, to let his wife open the door- how good to have someone to care for you!
The Collage where Freeman has dinner with his family and Nicholson-a multi-millionaire- smashing the boxed-food all alone in his suit and crying
Ah! Do I need to say more?
Denial, Anger, Bargaining, Depression and Acceptance....the 5 stages...
There is this one man show- will smith's I AM LEGEND,
The funky image wizardry where the Alien and Predator fight it out , with lots of human blood -ALIEN VS PREDATOR REQUIEM
Nicholas cage and the German beauty Diane Kruger's quest for the BOOK OF SECRETS,
Daniel craig and Nicole Kidman's "GOLDEN COMPASS",
and finally Johnny Depp's musical SWEENEY TODD,
all highly expected christmas releases....
but
A Medley of pure artistic display, "The Bucket List" is yet another testimony to the power of human emotions and ideas. It is not the highly expected Christmas blockbuster, but it sure will be remembered long after the christmas...
P.S: Please do watch it if you can spare your time. I can promise some laughs and tears but not the mass masala....

Yup. Bucket list was a good flick. I enjoyed it because it was a unique idea. Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are wonderful actors.
