◎Introduction

Life is a combination of one regret and one regret after another. When you are finally about to When you face death, you will find that there are too many things worth trying in this life, but you have ruthlessly missed them... Edward Cole is the CEO of a health care organization, but he found that he has also become A patient was admitted to the hospital he ran. Perhaps he doesn't know what "turn of fortune" means. Edward, who has actively promoted the business philosophy of "two beds in a room and no one can be special" throughout his life, has no choice but to ask for trouble and do a good job of sharing the same bed with others. plan for a ward.

Edward’s roommate in the hospital, Carter Chambers, was a mechanic from a completely different world. The two people couldn’t get along, but in the last few months of their lives, they fell in love with each other. There is an intersection. Although Carter was born in the working class and had been a technician all his life, he had always dreamed of becoming a history teacher one day. However, fate and unexpected events disrupted his plans... As you can imagine, this pair of people in their 60s The old people couldn't get along with each other at first, because the difference in status was too great. Carter showed a kind of humility and easy-going humility in every aspect. The only thing in common between them seemed to be the survival of life. those few months.

Carter has a secret notebook, which records some wishes that he wants to do but has never realized. He calls it his "bucket list."

Edward accidentally peeked at the list that Carter took out from time to time. This man who had never had faith, never believed in God, only believed in himself, first said a lot of nonsense to the list, and then went about his own business. Make a decision: travel around the world with Carter to fulfill the wishes on the list... Of course, as a billionaire, Edward has every reason to add his own wishes to the list.

Soon, Edward and Carter experienced a variety of adventures, including jumping out of a high-altitude airplane, chasing each other in a Ford Mustang racing car, visiting the pyramids, and participating in a hunting expedition. Wait... Edward also advocated a night of carnival with dancers, but Carter, who loved his wife deeply, refused this behavior, even though Edward insisted that indulgence did not mean disloyalty, but just casual relaxation and recollection.

However, as items on the list were crossed off one by one, more desires were added. In the last few months of their lives, Carter and Edward truly understood the meaning of life. They used the insight and humor that time had given them to make their lives completely complete, and at the same time they also discovered the true self that had been hidden. .

Behind the scenes:

Finding happiness in life

It is no exaggeration to say that the director and producer of the film, Rob Rein, only saw With a 10-page script, he was planning to make "The Bucket List," and at the time he simply told his producing partner, Alan Greisman, that he had found the next film to make, just like Greisman. He recalled: "I still remember that I kept reminding him, hoping that he could make a decision after reading the script, but he didn't seem to have any doubts about it because the theme of the script was very close to his inner world, so he was He shot it with all his heart, and he knew it was not impulsive. To be honest, I also liked the story very much, and I felt familiar with the characters."

The two then contacted each other. Producers Craig Zadan (Craig Zadan) and Neil Meron (Neil Meron) and showed them the script, and they made plans for the film almost within the same year.

Rob Lane himself does have a very deep personal emotional experience with the story. He feels that this is a topic that most people can relate to in their own lives. Lane said: " People who were born and grew up in the 'baby boom' era seem to be able to examine and evaluate their lives in a more profound way, so I would say that The Bucket List is really able to move us and be evocative at the same time* **Ming. Some of us who either grew up with parents or were raised by grandparents would appreciate the opportunity to look back at those bygone times and then look toward the future and really think about it. What can we do with the time we are given?” At the same time, Lane also develops the underlying charm and humor of the whole story, as well as the deeply personal environment, he continued: “ The film tells the story of two men traveling around the world, using the little time they have left to burn their entire lives."

Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. There was no expression of surprise at all, because when the script really caught their attention, they found themselves falling in love with the story. With their approval, another producer, Travis No. Travis Knox also joined.

When Travis Knox talked about how he was fascinated by the whole story, he said: "It was just an ordinary Sunday night, I took a pile of scripts and planned to pick up the lights as usual. I read it at night, but it was the first one that I couldn’t put down for a long time. It was unique, combining humor and warmth, and I couldn’t let it slip away from me. ”

< p>Learning Life from Death

As for producer Craig Zaidan, he had a similar and indelible impression on the script as Rob Rein. He said: "We What I like most about Lane is that he can always develop humor from emotional stories. This ability is rare among us. This influence on him as a director is enough to continue into this. "The Bucket List" Alan Gresman believes: "This is a story about friendship, love, and finding what is truly important in life. It inspires many emotions, but at the same time. It makes you laugh, and in my opinion, it ultimately says something truly meaningful about being alive.” Plus, as co-star Jack Nicholson admits: “The story also reminds you. For us, there are always things that you are infinitely regretful about because you have not done them in this life.”

The entire story focuses on two unreliable companions who travel together, and what happens between them. Everything is the driving force that drives the plot forward. Even though they have completely opposite social backgrounds and diametrically opposite personalities and experiences, their common desire to share is enough to make up for these superficial differences.

Morgan Freeman, who plays Carter Chambers in the film, also has his own understanding of the story: "You will always make friends with people who have something in common with you, and this is The so-called 'birds of a feather flock together and people flock together'.

Speaking of the two people in the film, they also have a very important thing in common, that is, they can control the few lives left and know what to do. When Carter meets Edward, he gets a chance to do something different for the first time in his own way. For a man who feels like he's spent his whole life doing what everyone else wants to do, This opportunity is powerful and very tempting. "

The content of Carter's "bucket list" is very wide, from a college course he had to give up before to who will support his family after his death. Director Rob Wren explained: "It's a very far-sighted exercise of responsibility, which means helping young people to focus their minds so that they think carefully about what is really important to them and what is theirs. What I want to truly gain from life. "This is an innate concept of Carter, who has always been very introspective. When he was lying in the hospital and began to think about his freedom of choice in life, he thought of this issue again. Even though Carter was not interested in pursuing his own "list" was interested in the terms, but he did not have the extravagant hope that it could be achieved now, until Edward saw this list and raised his own questions about "no" and ". "It's too late" has a completely different concept and identity. He suggested that the two of them do the things listed on these "lists". It was almost predictable, and he even added what he wanted to do, of course. , with his unique charm and approach, Morgan Freeman continues to illustrate the difference between the two characters: "Edward approaches the 'list' in a noisy, hands-on way, whereas Carter fulfills wishes. It relies more on the direction of the soul, as if witnessing something solemn and magnificent, more like helping a stranger out of complete kindness. Edward, on the other hand, was looking for a thrill, like jumping out of a flying plane or kissing the most beautiful girl in the world. ”

< p>One sentence comment:

Human beings are innately pursuing answers to unknown things, so the film focuses on such a theme and can easily arouse the audience's excitement. < /p>

——"New York Post"

The existence of the film seems to be just to prove one thing, even the perfect actor can make a pile of garbage.

——"The Movie Menace"

Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman are both masters at squeezing out layered emotions from a dry script. Including director Rob Lane

——"Village Voice"

The film feels like an extended movie trailer, and the ending. There are obvious flaws in everything.
