Last night's events included: eternal probation, an intense game of airsoft, and The Bucket List at the dollar movies (master's budget). Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are great together. Friends have told me that they weren't a fan of the movie and the ratings didn't blow me away, but I'm gonna go ahead and disagree. I was impressed with not only the acting, but the story line and characters were well developed, I laughed...a lot, and it probably had one of the best endings I'd seen in a while. The biblical content (less the cussing) was evident and I learned something new about Egyptians that I probably won't forget anytime soon.
In the movie, Morgan (a mechanic that knows all the answers in Jeopardy) tells Jack (a self-made billionaire) that when Egyptians die, they are asked two questions before they are able to enter the afterlife. their answers would determine where they would live forever....and ever...and ever...and ever(David Crowder will pay.) The first was, "did you find joy in your life?" and the second was like it..."did you bring joy to others?" Brain jerker, yeah? Kinda sounds like something J might say. It also makes me glad I'm not a dead Pharaoh back in the day, since I'm still working on em' both. Think you would have passed?
I give the movie a thumbs up...plus like three stars. A little slow, but good solid film that makes you think about life and death and dying and God and all that other good stuff. My really smart brother told me that the cinematography was good as well (for those of you insanely harsh film critics out there). Go see it.
