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)
