Imagine? Make it Real!
Have you ever undergone ‘a special
experience’? Most of people who are living in this busy era, wouldn’t answer to
this question at easy. A hero of the movie The
Secret Life of Walter Mitty is the person as same as them. He has been
working for 16 years as photo editor in LIFE magazine company. One day, having
a discontinuance of the LIFE magazine ahead, an accident of missing of the
cover picture from Sean, a legendary photographer, occurs. If Walter couldn’t
find the picture, he would be set in the risk of dismissal. So he begins
journey to look for Sean, just with the information that he is now in Greenland,
not be reached. Greenland is a very important element in the Movie The Secret Life of Walter Mitty because
of the story’s important events involve the island, and the events change Walter
in big-outside and inside.
In his journey to Greenland, looking for Sean, Walter encounters the
things he initially just imagined, in real. He jumps into the boat floating on
the ocean, climbs up the snowing mountain, runs away from erupting volcano, and
all these wouldn’t happen for the ‘normal’ Walter Mitty lives in New York.
During the adventurous journey, Walter’s dress becomes messy and dirty which
was always in good order and clean. However, his face and his eyes seem more
active and sparkle than ever. It happens because it is Greenland, no New York,
no France, or no Japan, not any place in the world. Greenland, the wild located
on the opposite side of the earth, turns chicken Walter into brave adventurer.
The journey changes Walter’s inside as well as outside. Even though it
was not an expedition he wanted by himself at first, Walter of before journey
and of after journey are eventually entirely different. By variety of
experiences and challenges, he alters his vision toward the world. Walter,
living in monotonous and passive life, has been disappeared. There remains
Walter who is much more relaxed and watches his own life with positive eyes.
Living in this frenetic world, most of people all keep at least ‘one
special dream’ in their mind. When they take it out and make it real, they
could live far more abundant life. Whenever the ‘imagination’ someday visit you
unexpectedly, are you ready to welcome it and start to make it real as Walter
do?
