Walter Mitty

 The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

 Dir: Ben Stiller
    Cast: Ben Stiller, Kristen Wiig, Adam Scott, Sean Penn, Shirley McClaine, Kathryn Hahn

     It's not everyday you come across a movie that you can personally relate to. The 
  Secret Life of Walter Mitty is one of them.
     
     Ben Stiller stars as the title character, a guy whose daydreams help him escape the
 boring and mundane life as a photo editor, all the while trying to win over the new
 girl at work (Wiig). Until one day, he gets an assignment that changes his life and
 makes his dreams a reality. This remake is a stark contrast to the 1947 version that
 starred the late Danny Kaye. 

    I can relate to Walter due to the fact that I am very introverted in social settings
  and find it hard to talk to people. Like Walter going off and exploring the world,
  I want to come out of my shell and be more outgoing.

    This movie may not be well liked but that's because they don't see it from an 
 introverts prospective. The best scenes was when his fantasy had him jumping 
 off a platform & rescuing the new girls dog in her apartment before it exploded.

    I had the opportunity to see this or Frozen with my class and definitely made
  the wrong decision. This is a really good movie.

Grade A+ (10/10)
