The Secret Life of Walter Mitty

There's a Walter on the outside, and a Walter on the inside. In between is his secret life, a fantastic level of fantasizing. 

The movie starts with him balancing his cheque book on his ball point pen, and the message is clear.

You'd see him as this meek, stuck in office routine, afraid to express himself kind of guy, you also see his wild imagination of what goes on within....and only later realize there's a reason why duty and responsibility took over, and his own passions and spirit of adventure went into cold storage.

Then comes the turning point.... when he's about to lose his job at the Life Magazine, and he needs to find that one mysterious photographer who can save his job (and him). The shift between imagination and  reality is so beautifully done that you're pretty much left guessing for when.

The cinematography is to die for. 

Each of those places he visits, Iceland, Greenland, Afghanisthan, Himalayas....is like pictures from the National Geographic. Would have been wonderful on large screen.

And in process he goes 'inside out'..... embraces life ....finds himself, finds it in him to not just feel but express and live his dreams.....with all his goodness and kindness intact.

It's funny in parts, quirky kinds, more from those curved balls life throws you at times, than outright comedy. 

The poster line - "To see the world. Things dangerous to come to. To see behind walls, to draw closer, to find each other, and to feel. That is the purpose of life."

Sagari, thanks a ton for so strongly recommending :)
