"BUCKET LIST"

A must see film that will surely strike the innermost part of your heart. More than a good plot, it will make us realize the value of every minute of our lives. Not to mention the lesson of genuine friendship in such a short span of time.

The story starred hollywood's finest actors Morgan Freeman (Carter Chambers, a Blue-collar mechanic) & Jack Nicholson (Edward Cole, a billionaire hospital magnate). Both are diagnosed with cancer and are to live in less than a year. With their individual baggages, both developed genuine friendship through the "BUCKET LIST" (things to do) created by Carter. The bucket includes things that are less likely to happen or less serious intentions but since it came to Edward's attention, the latter made some revisions resulted to some extreme sports adventures and around the world travel. Extravagant as it may seems but Edward promised to carry all the expenses, and so he did.

But of course, as friendship grows conflicts arises too. Carter returned to his family to be reunited with his wife in his remaining days. Edward as usual went back to his business but something has changed. Edward realized the impact Cartes has on him. The influence to be reunited with his long lost daughter to which he strongly disagree. Edward through a phone call learned that Carter is in his most critical stage. Two friends were again together fulfilling some remaining items on the BUCKET (To laugh until you cry).

Before Carter concluded his life, he insisted Edward to fulfill the list alone. As Edward goes on for several more years, he was able to fulfill few more items on the BUCKET, to kiss the most beautiful lady in the world, his granddaughter that he knew he never had.

When Edward finally passes away, he has his ashes buried alongside Carter's, also in the same type of can (Chock Full o' Nuts Coffee can), on the top of Mount Everest (which Carter mentioned that Edward would like it as it was against the law). Thomas, Edward's assistant does this as a fulfillment on the last item on the list "Witness something truly majestic". Bucket list was buried with them.

I've seen this film together with my bestfriend. As the story ends, tears can't stop shedding in my eyes. Truly magnificient movie.
