The Bucket List Review
Directed by Rob Reiner.
Jack Nicholson
Morgan Freeman
This is a movie that through comedy shows the thoughts of rich, poor,black,white,insured,uninsured,all walks of life.
The fact that all humans will die and the things they wished
they hadn’t done or could’ve done before they meat their maker(or God).
It is a story of friendship met through death and the knowledge of one’s end.

This film approaches these question’s with comedy,
drama in a very understandably way. It makes one think
about ones own “Bucket list” and what are the things you,I,or all want to do before our death and those that have gone before.Did they do all the thing’s they had wanted to do?
Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman find themselves in the same room in a hospital, that the character “Edward Cole”,(Jack Nicholson) owns. Edward has just declared “I don’t own hospitals to loose money they are an investment, one room two people,we make money!!!”
Edward finds himself in the same room as Carter Chambers(Morgan Freeman) both of them dieing of cancer, with only six months to a year to live.
In the beginning they share a room, dictated by the rules of the owner (Jack)
Edward starts chemotherapy and disregards the advise of Carter to not eat so much or such rich foods because in the end he will suffer by that.That begins their bond.
It starts of simple, playing“Gin Rummy”,talking about the base ball games etc. And in this time they learn the seriousness and the inevitability of their death’s will be soon.
Carter meanwhile is writing a list(the Bucket List)in which he writes all the things that he hopes to do before he dies,but knows that he will never have the money or courage to achieve them.Then later discard’s it because he thinks it is a stupid idea.
Edward finds this list and takes it seriously because he has the money to do what is to become “The Bucket list”.Then he proposes they fulfill “the list”
There for one can only imagine, without seeing the movie what beauty unfolds. And Edward in the end through his illness gained his best friend Carter and a family through his own fear he was to stubborn and arrogant to confront.
In summation this film is about ones own perception of who they are and what they mean to others.
