At first I was skeptical whether to watch this one because I’m
not a Stiller fan (I skip 42 Ronin because of Keanu Reeves) and I don’t like
watching American comedy movies simply because I think the jokes have been
recycled wayyy too much. Walter Mitty isn’t really a funny movie; so that’s a
plus point for me. What I like about the movie, though as cliché as it sounds,
is that even at your lower point in life eg you’re a forever alone 42 year-old
who have just been sacked from your job, you can never predict life and what’s
to come. It reminds me not to fret about not yet finding ‘passion’ or ‘it’. I’m
only 28, I still have 14 years to go? :p
I especially like the part where Sean was looking through
his camera to watch the snow leopard. Stiller asked why he didn’t take a photo
of the leopard, and he said that sometimes he chose to capture a moment in his
brain instead of clicking the shutter (or something along that line). I thought
that was beautiful. It’s definitely something I can relate to - I’d rather bask
in the moment than take tens of photos to commemorate it.

Ooo I saw a trailer of this and thought it looked interesting and very un-like Ben Stiller (not a fan of his usual stuff either, though I did LOL at Zoolander and There's something about Mary).
I read an article recently about how people who take photos than just 'bask' in the moment have difficulty remembering the moment later on (compared to those who don't take photos). So that's something to be said about savoring images as opposed to snapping photos!
