The bucket list

I would like to link a film review to my Ajurveda and healthy life topic. I could offer several other films and books ( Jane Godall books and Super size me just to recite some examples) on this subject but I chose this film because I saw it just a few days ago. It doesn’t have many things to do with eating habits, but it speaks about life in a marvellous way. It’s an american movie which stars as big names as Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman.
Well, to be onest, I went to see this film beacuse I couldn’t stand staying in a 60 square meters flat in a nice Friday evening. But my boyfriend and also I was so tired, that we didn’t have the energy to go to an art cinema. To sum it up I didn’t expect too much, I just said ok for the first american film. Well, it was a huge surprise! I was so moved emotionally that I began to cry..
The story is about two men who get into hospital because of having a serious brain cancer. They share room and become very soon friends although one of them is a white doctor and the other is a black car mechanic. After they are told slipping the painter in a few month’s time they decided to travel around the world and do things that they never done before because they were scared to death. Well, now they really have nothing to loose..May be the black man. He has a family and he has to choose : stays with his relatives and try an other usless therapy or live his last days with a stranger. It’s a bit kliscé story but it's full filled with emotions, and has a lot to transmit.
Sometimes we scare too much of life itself. But I believe, that we have to find what we really like to do, also as a profession, even then it’s hard and full of difficult decisions sometimes…
