Walter Mitty





"You should know those people worked really hard to build this magazine. They believed in the motto"

~ Walter Mitty




.... This was actually my favorite quote from the movie, Walter returned to his former office to return the negative that he was missing reason for him to get fired. I like how he really had valued his work all those years he worked for the company and to me that's passion. Passion is the greatest reason why people become successful in whatever they do. Whether its work, family, church duty or simple recreation alone or with friends. Its the drive to live, love for life itself is passion. It was such a loss how the new management fail to see people like Walter. They are the core of the whole company. The "LIFE" magazine as they know it, will not be as popular as it is if not for the people who works hard every day to bring the story to the table. We owe it a lot to them.




"To see the world, 
things dangerous to come to,
to see behind walls, draw closer, 
to find each other, and to feel. 
That is the purpose of life."

~ Walter Mitty ~




..... There was a sense of intrigue and suspense as Walter take every zone moment to journey his secret life. I love this part of the story because I can totally relate. I don't know if you ever do but I usually had those "zone out moments" but unlike Walter Mitty I often had it unnoticed. This may be weird but watching Walter Mitty inspired a lot of what I used to be interested in. It reminded me of the passion I used to have and made me grab the camera I just got and start capturing life as it happens. I love Walter Mitty. I really do. The movie in general was like heroes-mission-impossible-seven-years-in-tibet-2012-you've-got-mail-ish type of  a movie. I think its very creative in a way you'll be able to plot a story like that in a non-fiction movie.
