I spent 20 years in palliative medicine in uk and this bucket list is absolutely bullshit. Patients and families and NHS colleagues would never think that deeply
I absolutely love how Mathew finished the list in honor of them Great Story It hits me every time seeing that scar on Edwards Head Last time I seen my Father he had that same scar
After watching this movie for the first time with my dad, he looked at me and said “we need to make our own bucket list” and I responded “what would be on it?” He said “the top ten rollercoasters around the world!”. My dad died 7 years ago. We managed to do 3 of the 10 before he passed. The first time watching this without him broke me. Especially the moment when Edward said “this wasn’t meant to be a one man deal”. This movie does teach you to find the joy in life. My dad taught me that too. I miss him everyday
This was my first "adult" movie and by that I mean prior to this I only watched Disney or animated movies because I was about 6 or 7 but my parents figured it would be a safe enough movie to take me to. God was it an emotional moment. Even as a kid I remember being glued to the screen, taking in every last minute. It was my first introduction to the concept "bucket list", my first Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman movie, it was a literal EXPERIENCE. I came out with a lot of new ideas my childish mind didn't completely understand but now at almost 30 and seeing that I still remember every last minute of it, this movie molded something in me that made me who I am now and I think I owe my admiration for cinema to it
It matters not who you are or the person who is asked to speak on the funeral. It's alot of courage, andbravery to step forward and speak on behalf of the person who has passed on. Alot of courage... " Close your eyes and let the waters take you" Conviction , committment, bravery.
I can't ever talk about the scene when he kisses his granddaughter, then crosses off "kiss the most beautiful girl in the world" without getting emotional because I always think of my granddaughter.
Interesting fact. The picture of rhe young Airman in the background at the funeral is indeed Morgan Freeman. He served from 1955-1959 a radar teacking technician. And although not the highest rank he made A1C.
It took me 50 years to tell my friends I love them. Now - they are sick or laugh worriedly. But I always end my talk as we are older now and coming to our close - “Who loves you Tommy, Ron, Billy? Bobbo does! And??????? Who do you love?” Then the giddy - don’t want to be gay banter or admit a man can love another man begins.
To have this wonderful movie clip followed by an add by Don Jr begging for money for his Father Donald Trump is reprehensible and down right sickening.
