The last thing that I didn’t like about the movie is how it keeps this one caricature included in the movie even after his purpose was fulfilled in the movie. Having the movie explicitly explain it to the viewer feels less involved and feels like we are more of a passive observer instead of going on this grand adventure with him. It was more than clear why he had fewer and fewer daydreams.
In a later scene, it almost explains word for word why he has these daydreams and why after his adventure to Iceland, Greenland and the mountains of Afghanistan he has fewer daydreams. The movie has established without massive dumps of exposition or a silique that the main caricature is not satisfied with how much adventure is in his life.
It is clear that Walter’s daydreams stem from a place of disinterest in his life. I only have two of them and both of them are relegated to one or two scenes. My only critiques of the movie can come off as nitpicky because of how fantastic this movie is. It isn’t hard to see that “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is about living a filled and adventitious life. These daydreams clearly show that he was bored enough with his life that he would fabricate an elaborate daydream just to escape it. Before going on this adventure, Walter would have many in-depth daydreams. Walter’s search for that negative brings him on a beautifully shot adventure and a wonderful human story. The company is bought out and the person who is in charge of the merger wants a specific negative for the final cover of Life Magazine. He develops, enlarges and stores negatives of film. The movie follows Walter Mitty as he works in Life Magazine. “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” was based on a short story, written by James Thumbur. Everything from the shots to the music to how they develop the characters is fantastic. I don’t think I have ever been as impressed with the first 20 minutes of a movie as I was with “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty.” The movie isn’t afraid to let you know what it will be about it’s not going to try to subvert the audience unfairly.ĭirected by Ben Stiller, “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” is nothing short of beautiful. The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is a movie whose cinematography and message will resonate in the viewer’s mind long after viewing.
