This was the second movie we watched over the weekend. Due to its star cast, Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson, two of my favorite actors of all time, I had to watch this one.
The concept isn’t the most fresh one, there have been some, which brushed the idea, to a certain extent; finish "things to do, before you die".
Both being cancer patients in the movie, have very limited time to live, six months at best, both set out to complete a series of tasks on a list, which is "The Bucket List".
Fundamentally, of different character, both Freeman and Nicholson, place items on the list, which are as far apart as their perceptions of life, as a auto mechanic and billionaire respectively. Yet, the development of their friendship, achievement of common goals together, even in death, is well portrayed.
Narration during the movie, by Morgan Freeman is engrossing, dialogues are well-written and expresses the scene and setting quite amicably. The screenplay is ok, cinematography is pretty awesome, with some sights of local India…including Delhi and Taj Mahal.
Worth a watch, fairly entertaining movie.
3.5 Stars.
