Having just completed 42 radiation therapy treatments for cancer, I can identify quite easily with the movie's theme. Like the two main characters, I have wondered what to do with my remaining days, and have thought about fulfilling wishes and fantasies that have been around for awhile. Suddenly, every day, even every hour becomes more significant than I had imagined previously.
A relative had told me that I wouldn't like this movie, because it was "too much talk." The relative was wrong. The Bucket List captivated me early, and kept me spellbound.
Never during the film did I think "This is unrealistic." The events could have happened, quite reasonably. The story is highly believable.
I admit that the final scenes had me grabbing for a handkerchief.
If ever there was a "message movie," this is it.
I commend the cast, and I commend Rob Reiner for his directing.
The Bucket List prompts every viewer to examine what to do with the remaining days of life, whether they be many or few.
Years from now, I will treasure the power of this movie.
