The bucket list is a list contained things to do before we “die” This is originated from the phrase “kick the bucket” which means die. This is because in the execution by hanging, people usually have the prisoner stand on the bucket and kick it to kill him/her. Actually, this movie was pretty good except two things that I didn’t like.
First, even though this movie made me think about the life and death one more time, almost everything on the bucket list is impossible if we don’t have enough money. Of course, things like “laugh until we cry” and “help other people” don’t need money but what about the traveling the world with personal airplane and car racing with an expensive car ? To the normal people like me, it looked totally impossible to do before I die. I just wish that the movie would be better if it focused more on simple things.
Second, I could still can see the racial discrimination. Morgan Freeman who is black is a mechanic and Jack Nicholson who is white is a chairman of a conglomerate in this film. Why do always non-white people have lower social rank than the white. Moreover, in the movie, Jack Nicholson makes a black women hit on Morgan Freeman. Why a black woman? Why can’t be a white woman who attracts a black man? I thought this is unfair.
I am not saying that this movie is a bad one. However, I could see the limitation of people’s thought about wealth and race and realized that we still have a long way to go.
