I do not own or claim to own any of the footage or music in this video. Just sharing one of my favorite movie scenes from one of my favorite movies. x)
Can we take a moment to appreciate the assistant, Matthew (Thomas)? Guy was loyal to the end; he even climbed a damn mountain for his dead boss to finish the bucket list. Respect.
I couldn’t help but think that if Edward didn’t send that guy to "take care of it”. That girl may have ended up worse. Not just his daughter being in that, but the granddaughter.
My parents and I watched this movie together. As Ed Cole kissed that adorable little girl and crossed off that item on his list, my dad (a grizzly bear on the outside but a complete teddy bear on the inside) said, "Now you're gettin' the point!" To this day it makes me tear up when I think of his reaction. R.I.P., Dad.
it was Carter who started the list that Edward fished out and then added some things. To which, the "Help a total stranger for the good" was the acknowledgement that Carter "saved his life and knew it before I did". Mount Everest was also Carter's idea. To which likely Edward had Carter's ashes placed atop and eventually his own via Matthew ( Thomas)
Any of you remember Nicholson's character in "Carnal Knowledge" (about 35 years before this movie), and how he reacted when his little girl's picture appeared during a slide show of his sexual conquests? The scene with his granddaughter here, given that Nicholson's character here is a much wealthier shadow of the guy in "Carnal Knowledge", is a beautiful comparison, especially knowing that he became reconciled with his daughter/her mother.
“My pastor always says, our lives are streams, flowing into the same river, towards whatever heaven lies in the mist beyond the falls. Find the joy in your life Edward. My dear friend, close your eyes, and let the waters take you.” This hits deeper than any blade could possibly do…
It's kinda slow at the start and it was really only from the latter middle section to the end that it became really good. I personally wasn't that bothered by it due to the heartwrenching, sad yet beautiful ending it has but I can understand how some people might be bothered by it.
Reviews have never meant anything to me. All I care about is a decent story plot and actors who are willing to do a good job and these two went beyond that.
This is the most touching and eye opening movie I have ever see or will see. We should all have a bucket list and hopefully it will include some of the most simple joys we find in this life like a smile in the morning or a kiss last thing at night, and the knowledge that through all of our mistakes we did manage to do sometning that was right.
Honestly, in my humble opinion, having lost my dad to cancer, if I'm not mistaken, "To witness something truly majestic" was at the top of the list; and it could apply to ALMOST all the other items in the list, including his beautiful granddaughter. ❤
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
The hardest part for me is being such a fan of both Jack and Morgan knowing some day they will be gone. That is going to be a hard day but I know I’m going to remember the times I watched their movies and laughed and cried hopefully that day does not come for a while
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
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.
Honestly this should’ve been Jack Nicholson’s last role. Had he finished his movie cereer with the bucket list, it would’ve been a fitting send off to one of the greatest actors of all time. We love you Jack Nicholson, hope you’re enjoying retirement.
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
if ever a masterpiece was created....here it is...two strangers in hospital....with different points of view in life...became true friends....take my advice.....life is short....go out there and grab it....we all have a Bucket List to write.
Yes she is and I really miss HER, I am radio coder by birth rite and I remember those PBS talking about the ropes to the other side as he walked from his radio room that I first learned the name of Quincy Jones for my id. The little girls name is Julianne (b. 5/30/00) and she is mine 🥀 first born:little Hiro Tobias (b. 9/28/15) for the colors of 🦅 greys.
@@tomconstance2391 try again, the cirque has been tampered with, should you happen to see any ham radio license plate they would be interested to know.
Nancy, either you have some kind of social disorder or you are on something. Either way, it’s completely inappropriate to try and claim that little girl like she is your own. I’m willing to bet that you’ve hung around a hospital nursery or two to try and snatch up a newborn.
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.
Bucket List ends Sad. Second Hand Lions ends oddly Happy...after that movie & understanding what that pair went through you can't but laugh with them after they died trying to fly a biplane through a barn door. But pleasant similarities between them.
What Morgan Freeman quoted about the ancient Egyptians o top of the pyramid profoundly changed my interactions with the people in my life for the better,& I'll always be grateful .
1:45 How many look at Taylor Ann Thompson, who is 5 in this film and compare at what she looks like now? She truly is the most beautiful girl in the world.
#FUCKCANCER!!!!! kiss the most beautiful girl in the world..kisses his grandbaby!!! For my mum Pamela Lee Harrington 01-14-1958-09-03-2016 I miss you!!! Take care of these two great men!!! I'll see you again when my time is up!!!
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.
