The Bucket List

What would you do if you suddenly find out that you have cancer ? Well... creepy question, but that's exactly what happens to the protagonists of this tremendous film directed by Rob Reiner and released in 2008. One of the most atractive things about this movie are the actors (sort of gods of the cinema) that interpret our main characters. We are talking about nothing less than Jack Nicholson (he is not a psycho now) and Morgan Freeman.

Here we can see Edward Cole (Nicholson), a multimillionaire hospital runner married four times and a pretty lonely, enjoyer and funny old man, talking to Carter Chambers (Freeman), a mechanic, the patriarch of a big-happy family and a very reflexive and lovely man. How this two different guys meet each other? Simple, they both have been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and they finish in the same hospital room, an Edward's hospital by the way.

After reading a to do list before dying made by Carter, Edward add some crazy things to this list and invites his roommate to travel around the world making all of this wild stuff that they've never done, together, and with Edward's money of course.

Some of the points of this bucket list are skydiving, car running, and exploring (just action and fun); and some others are laugh until cry or kiss the most beautiful girl in the world (deeper things, don't you think?). 

Trough the movie you'll watch this special couple trying to complete the list, givin you lots of fun scenes fulls of the characteristic humor of these guys. And of course there is a deeper part of the movie in which you will see exciting life discussions about love, loneliness, loyalty and many other classical topics from the mouth of these gurus. 

I got to say that watching Nicholson and Freeman working together in such a great film is pure magic, they will make you laugh until cry, and sometimes just want to cry. And in the end you'll witness something majestic.

Here's the trailer, and I really hope you can enjoy this awesome movie sometime, I¡m sure it will make you treasure some little things of your life.
