Enchanting In Every Way

A word that descibe The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty is magical. No, not magical, how do you describe a word that contains incredible, magical, fantastic and extraordinary? I am speechless, this is Ben Stiller’s finest work! I really love this movie, I’m so glad I opened this year with watching Walter Mitty.

As my lecturer said, a good movie is a movie that makes a big impact to the viewers. And this movie? Total big impact to the viewers! First, Ben Stiller opened this movie with a beatiful precision shot and some heroic action that Mitty daydreamed, then Ben twisted Mitty's character when the problem entered. This is what a protagonist should be! The change of a protagonist's behaviour has to be explained clearly and in a suitable amount of time, not too long but not too fast. Walter Mitty's character changing had the right amount of time. His character is solid, it moved the plot and the viewers are identified by his character by watching him going through his life and soul journey.

The cinematography is splendid! Ben coddled your eyes with beautiful scenery of Greenland, Iceland and Himalaya. It makes you want to go there and do what Mitty did (see, I am identified by him). The precision shots at the opening, the editing that will make you said "fuck, how did he do that?", the story that will really affect to your life after watching this movie, the beauty shots where Mitty had his adventure and the twist ending. Those are the aspects that make this movie is so powerful. You're gonna have a little bit of "me" time just to think how great this movie is! This movie really is enchanting in every way you see it. Hollywood should make this kind of movie more and that American heroic movie less.

My rating is 5 out of 5!!! This is a very very great movie to open your whole 2014 year and change your perpective about life. You really really should see it in a big screen!
