Last night Amy and I went out on a date and we saw The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. I thought I would like the movie going into it, but I was surprised as to how much I liked it and how much it spoke to me. For those of you who don’t know what the movie is about, check out the trailer here.
I remember looking over at Amy half way through the movie and saying “so far this is one of the greatest movies I have ever seen.” Here are the reasons I like it:
- The music carried what was going on in the movie (I love a great soundtrack).
- Walter decided to do something with his life, where I believe that most of us just sit in the miserableness that is our life. We just complain about things instead of taking steps to change our circumstances.
- Sean Penn was in it (man crush).
- The movie showed the beauty of our world, specifically places that we don’t think of as beautiful like Greenland and Iceland.
- Walter didn’t let fear rule his life, he lived out of truth and passion.
- It inspired me to look at my life once again and live out the call that Jesus has put on me, the call to love God and love others out of who I am and who He created me to be.
I highly recommend seeing this film. If you don’t want to pay the $$ to see it in the theater then grab it on Red Box when it comes out later this year.
Have a great Sunday friends.
