7 Life Lessons from the Movie “The Bucket List”

Michael Riley

Ascent Publication

Imagine you were told you had 6–12 months left to live.

Talk about terrifying.

What would you do with your time left?

This was the premise of the 2007 comedy / drama film The Bucket List , which I recently re-watched.

It’s about billionaire Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and car mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) who meet in the hospital and learn that their respective illnesses will kill them in less than a year’s time. Instead of letting the news bring them down, they decide to create a bucket list together, which is basically things each of them want to do in life before they die. The rest of the movie explores the relationship between the two men as they go out and try to live their bucket list.

It’s a beautiful movie that I’d definitely recommend. The end had me tearing up, which I can’t say about a lot of movies.

Here’s 7 life lessons I learned from The Bucket List :

1. DEATH OFTEN COMES OUT OF NOWHERE.

Yes, Edward and Carter were in their old age when they found out they were going to die. But it still crept up on them. They were living normal lives, and then suddenly their time was going to be up.

Whether old or young, death often comes when you least expect it. You really never know what can happen and when your time on this planet will be up. That’s why you need to grateful for every day you wake up and make sure you’re living the life you want. The more you can think about death and its inevitability, the better lens you’ll have on life and the more prepared you’ll be when it comes.

2. MAKE YOUR BUCKET LIST(S) NOW.

Seriously. Don’t wait until life passes you by and it’s too late. Start today!

Write down all the things you want to do in life. Dream big.

Sure, you could just have one bucket list that’s personal to you. But I like the idea of creating different ones with other people in mind too, e.g. your significant other, sibling(s), or best friends. Why not, right?

Everyone needs a blueprint for a great life, and a bucket list is the perfect measuring stick. What are you waiting for?

3. ACTIVELY PLAN TO EXECUTE WHATEVER IS ON YOUR BUCKET LIST, AND CONTINUE TO ADD TO IT.

This lesson is more of an extrapolation from the previous one than something directly attributable to the movie, but I thought it was important enough to mention here.

Making the bucket list is the easy part and only Step 1. It’s worthless unless you start planning out how you’re going to accomplish the things on it.

Edward and Carter couldn’t really plan since their time was limited. They just took action, which is a major part of the equation too.

While you likely have a lot of time to accomplish the items on your bucket list, don’t wait for “some day” to come. Again, you never know when your time is up here, so there needs to be a little sense of urgency and desire to take action. Squeeze everything out of life while you can. Start by picking an item that is attainable in the short-term and take the first step to figuring out how and when you can do it.

Regularly revisiting your bucket list gives you the opportunity to tweak it. Maybe there’s something you thought you wanted to do but change your mind about. Or even better, something new you’re excited to try. In terms of a cadence, try revisiting your bucket list at least monthly.

4. SEE THE WORLD.

One of the central themes of Edward and Carter’s bucket list was traveling around the world. They do things like see the pyramids in Egypt, take a safari in Africa, and ride across the Great Wall of China on a motorcycle.

Travel is invigorating. Many of us wish we could do more of it, but don’t really do anything about it. It’s really a matter of priority.

It’s so important to see the world. We can experience different cultures and events, meet new people, witness the beauty of Earth, etc. Make sure you do it with people you care about.

5. FIND THE JOY IN YOUR LIFE.

At one point in the movie, Carter shares a myth with Edward about what happens when you get to the gates of heaven. According to the story, the gods ask the recently deceased two questions, one of which is “Have you found joy in your life?”

In other words, figure out what makes you happy and keep doing those things as much as you can. Even if you think you haven’t achieved full happiness yet (is there such thing?), everyone has things they do that make them feel good. Think about the last time you laughed, or did something that was really fun, or had a great conversation. Never stop seeking that joy and making it a regular part of your life.

6. BRING JOY TO OTHER PEOPLE’S LIVES.

In the same story about the deceased waiting to get into heaven, Carter tells Edward that the second question the gods ask them is “Has your life brought joy to others?”

Life isn’t meant to be all about you. Yes, your dreams and goals matter, but it’s really about impact and legacy. How many people’s lives can you touch while you’re here? How can you be a role model for others?

As Carter said in the movie, “You measure yourself by the people who measure themselves by you.”

7. BE ADVENTUROUS.

When Edward and Carter saw the world, they did it in style. Their journey was all about having fun and doing things they had always wanted to do. They pushed the boundaries of what they thought they were capable of and grew in the process.

We should all try new things more often. There’s so much out there to be experienced that it’s almost an insult to not do anything about it. If there’s something that’s been on your mind a lot that you’ve wanted to do, just go do it. Take someone with you. Create memories you can hold onto. Have the most fun possible. Do it all.

I hoped this post not only convinced you to go rent The Bucket List and make one of your own, but also inspired you to start living a more full life today.

It’s time to pick up a pen and a piece of paper and start writing that bucket list. The world is your oyster, my friends.

O death, where is thy sting-a-ling-a-ling?

Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson star in "The Bucket List."

By Roger Ebert

“The Bucket List” is a movie about two old codgers who are nothing like people, both suffering from cancer that is nothing like cancer, and setting off on adventures that are nothing like possible. I urgently advise hospitals: Do not make the DVD available to your patients; there may be an outbreak of bedpans thrown at TV screens.

The film opens with yet another voiceover narration by Morgan Freeman , extolling the saintly virtues of a white person who deserves our reverence. His voice takes on a sort of wonderment, as he speaks of the man’s greatness; it was a note that worked in “ The Shawshank Redemption ” and “ Million Dollar Baby ,” but not here, not when he is talking of a character, played by Jack Nicholson , for whom lovability is not a strong suit.

Nicholson is Edward, an enormously rich man of about 70, who has been diagnosed with cancer, given a year to live, and is sharing a room with Carter (Freeman), about the same age, same prognosis. Why does a billionaire not have a private room? Why, because Edward owns the hospital, and he has a policy that all patients must double up, so it would look bad if he didn’t.

This is only one among countless details the movie gets wrong.

Doesn’t Edward know that hospitals make lotsa profits by offering private rooms, “concierge service,” etc.? The fact is, Edward and Carter must be roommates to set up their Meet Cute, during which they first rub each other the wrong way and then have an orgy of male bonding. Turns out Carter has a “bucket list” of things he should do before he kicks the bucket. Edward embraces this idea, announces, “Hell, all I have is money,” and treats Carter to an around-the-world trip in his private airplane, during which they will, let’s see if I have the itinerary right here, visit the Pyramids, the Taj Mahal , Hong Kong, the French Riviera and the Himalayas.

Carter is faithfully married to his loving wife Virginia ( Beverly Todd ), who is remarkably restrained about seeing her dying husband off on this madcap folly. She doesn’t take it well, but I know wives who would call for the boys with butterfly nets. Edward, after four divorces, has no restraints, plenty of regrets, and uses his generosity to mask egotism, selfishness and the imposition of his goofy whim on poor Carter. That his behavior is seen as somehow redemptive is perhaps the movie’s weirdest fantasy. Meanwhile, the codgers have pseudo-profound conversations about the Meaning of It All, and Carter’s superior humanity begins to soak in for the irascible Edward.

The movie, directed by Rob Reiner , was written by Justin Zackham , who must be very optimistic indeed if he doesn’t know that there is nothing like a serious illness to bring you to the end of sitcom cliches. I’ve never had chemo, as Edward and Carter must endure, but I have had cancer, and believe me, during convalescence after surgery the last item on your bucket list is climbing a Himalaya. Your list is more likely to be topped by keeping down a full meal, having a triumphant bowel movement, keeping your energy up in the afternoon, letting your loved ones know you love them, and convincing the doc your reports of pain are real and not merely disguising your desire to become a drug addict. To be sure, the movie includes plenty of details about discomfort in the toilet, but they’re put on hold once the trots are replaced by the globe-trotting.

Edward and Carter fly off on their odyssey, during which the only realistic detail is the interior of Edward’s private jet. Other locations are created, all too obviously, by special effects; the boys in front of the Pyramids look about as convincing as Abbott and Costello wearing pith helmets in front of a painted backdrop.

Meanwhile, we wait patiently for Edward to realize his inner humanity, reach out to his estranged daughter and learn all the other life lessons Carter has to bestow. All Carter gets out of it is months away from his beloved family and the opportunity to be a moral cheering section for Edward’s conversion.

I’m thinking, just once, couldn’t a movie open with the voiceover telling us what a great guy the Morgan Freeman character is? Nicholson could say, “I was a rich, unpleasant, selfish jerk, and this wise, nice man taught me to feel hope and love.” Yeah, that would be nice. Because what’s so great about Edward, anyway? He throws his money around like a pig and makes Carter come along for the ride. So what?

There are movies that find humor, albeit perhaps of a bitter, sardonic nature, in cancer. Some of them show incredible bravery, as in Mike Nichols’ “Wit,” with its great performance by Emma Thompson .

“The Bucket List” thinks dying of cancer is a laff riot followed by a dime-store epiphany. The sole redeeming merit of the film is the steady work by Morgan Freeman, who has appeared in more than one embarrassing movie, but never embarrassed himself. Maybe it’s not Jack Nicholson’s fault that his role cries out to be overplayed, but it’s his fate, and ours.

Movie Review | 'The Bucket List '

For Geezers Gone Wild, Too Little, Too Late

By Stephen Holden

Dec. 25, 2007

“The Bucket List” operates on the hope that two beloved stars rubbing their signature screen personas together can spark warm, fuzzy box office magic. I wouldn’t count on it. Stars or no, it is an open question whether audiences will flock to a preposterous, putatively heartwarming buddy comedy about two men diagnosed with terminal cancer living it up in their final months.

The geezers chafing at death’s doorstep are Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) and Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman), cancer patients who meet cute in the room they share in a hospital owned by Edward. A greedy billionaire health care mogul, Edward is a victim of his own ruthless cost-cutting program that decrees two to a room in his cramped establishment.

Obviously, no billionaire in his right mind would endure such humiliation in an institution he is knowingly bleeding to death; he would have his own deluxe private suite somewhere else. Edward, however, does have gourmet food supplied by his obedient assistant Thomas (Sean Hayes), which he lustily consumes until chemotherapy takes away his appetite along with his hair.

Slipping into their stock screen personas of rampaging fool (Mr. Nicholson) and pious wise man (Mr. Freeman), neither actor adds a note that we haven’t seen before. Given less than a year to live, Edward and Carter flee the hospital to board Edward’s private jet for a final blowout underwritten by Edward.

Along the way they become best pals who help each other learn the usual lessons about living life to the fullest. The movie strenuously denies medical reality. As they undertake their journey, both men, in temporary remission, appear as robust as the rejuvenated seniors in “Cocoon.”

Their initial adventures, like sky diving and race car driving, are high-adrenaline stunts embraced with macho zeal; they even visit a tattoo parlor. As they follow an itinerary that takes them to the south of France, the Pyramids, the Taj Mahal, the Himalayas and Hong Kong, these stopovers, obviously filmed on a soundstage, have all the reality of snapshots photographed in front of travel posters.

On the sexual front, the happily married Carter demurs when opportunity presents itself. But nothing has ever prevented Edward, who has been married and divorced four times, from pursuing continuous novelty. The movie mercifully spares us the spectacle of Mr. Nicholson, whalelike at 70, in full rutting mode.

Directed by Rob Reiner from a sketchy screenplay by Justin Zackham, “The Bucket List” fails its stars in fundamental ways. Mr. Nicholson has played wealthy rogues before (most recently in “Something’s Gotta Give”), but this particular bon vivant is unsalvageably repellent. The actor’s frantic mugging, guffawing and eyebrow twitching only underscore the character’s pompous self-satisfaction. By the time the movie allows Edward a token gesture of humanity (his guilt-stricken attempt to reunite with an estranged daughter he cruelly betrayed), it is too little too late.

Carter is the one who initially brings up the notion of “the bucket list,” a roster of must-have experiences to be pursued before “kicking the bucket.” We are asked to accept that this dignified sage has been happily toiling as an auto mechanic for 46 years after forgoing his higher education to support a family. Anyone this articulate and composed would have risen far above day-laborer status.

Largely self-taught, Carter keeps himself in mental shape by watching “Jeopardy!” and competing out loud with the contestants. During their travels he is a font of geographic and historical trivia.

For all the kindly gravity he puts into the role, Mr. Freeman cannot begin to make you believe that a quiet family man like Carter would abandon his loyal wife (Beverly Todd) during his final months of life to go on a spree with a rascally egomaniac. I don’t imagine Mr. Freeman believes it either.

Saddest of all, the professed spiritual goals on the pair’s checklist of things to do “laugh till you cry,” “witness something majestic” are the kind of pallid bromides found in the pages of a quickie self-help book: “I’m Not O.K., and Neither Are You.”

“The Bucket List” is rated PG-13 (Parents strongly cautioned). It has off-color dialogue.

The Bucket List: Movie Analysis

Show More Life is too short for you not to go out and do whatever you have ever what to do in your life. What life is supposed to be about is joying everything and exploring every little bit of it as you can. The Bucket List directed by Rob Reiner and released on December 25, 2007 shows a great example of how life should be displayed. The Bucket List is a drama/comedy about two dying men who travel the world to try to discover their passion and joy in their lives. The two men used in this movie (Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson) to show the exploring of human nature. This films use of lighting, costumes, and props shows exactly how these men are able to explore the nature of a human being. Throughout the movie we also see Jack Nicholson’s go through …show more content… We learn that whether its artificial lighting or natural lighting there can be a big key element behind it and how it relates to the movie like if its sunny and there’s a lot of natural light it shows something good is going to happen not saying this always works but in the movie The Bucket List it uses in such manner. The costumes in the movie can provide a meaning of one’s class or characteristics as we can see that by the way Carter looks in this movie he is a mechanic if there wasn’t a good use of costumes we would’ve never knew he was a mechanic and if hadn’t seen the costume used of Edward we would have never he was wealthy. Props are important to meaning to show the things that Carter and Cole had dreamed of doing such as driving the classic cars or even using the luxury jet to let them travel somewhere they have never been before. Money is an extremely important prop to show that many of the things they were able to do throughout the movie was able to be done due to Edward having all this money even though it’s possible to be happy and satisfied even without having money. These are a few of many sources that could be used to create meaning in film but these happened to be key tools in creating a movie such as The Bucket

Lightning Bag: Movie Analysis

Where as I normally end up arguing against why a film should be considered a horror film, this time I'm going other way and argue why Lightning Bug is a Horror film. As I stated in Horror, My Definition, a Horror film is a film that used dread and horror, while trying to evoke negative emotions. Lightning Bug does that for me, upon first viewing I wasn't that impressed and disregarded is horror elements. Instead focusing on how its a Coming of Age Drama. But after viewing the film never really settled and has passed through my mind on several occasions and when I reflect on the film it's dark and haunting undertones that remain.…

These luxuries are not available to people in other countries and I believe that if I had to step into one of the four children in the movie On the Way to School I could handle living Carlos’s life. Carlos lives in Argentina and is 11 years old which is near my age, but that is the only thing we have slightly in common. We live completely different lives and Carlos does not have all the luxuries I have. Out of the all the other kids Carlos is the most modern of the four his clothes are similar to mine and he lives in a small house made up of bricks.…

13th By Ava Duvernay: Film Analysis

When Thomas Jefferson was president in the early 1800’s he believed that all men were created equal. It wasn’t until December of 1865 that the 13th Amendment was passed, ending slavery and making every man, woman, and child equal. While this did end slavery, it also caused problems that would negatively impact African American families for several decades, even to this day. In Ava DuVernay’s documentary 13th, she uses compelling statistics and several qualified narrators to educate her audience on what life has been like for African American families and shows how they have been “criminalized” by society, even after the 13th Amendment was passed.…

The Breakfast Club is a timeless moving picture that captures the essence of the different social groupings of the American teenager. The film uses the setting of a Saturday morning detention to portray how different cliques interact with each other, and how they can ultimately melt together to create a unique coterie. In the movie, five different socializations are represented by individuals coming from those backgrounds, John Bender, the criminal, Claire Standish, the princess, Andrew Clark, the athlete, Brian Johnson, the brain, and Allison Reynolds, the basketcase. Each possesses distinctive character traits with which one can easily identify, especially those going through their adolescent years. Likewise, they all represent factions that…

The primary cause of this trend was the industrialization of western countries such as England and the United States, leading to higher life expectancy and greater income (Mayr, 2017). Following the growth of the quality of life gap, a contradictory trend began in 1948 when the practice of colonialism ended. Since then the quality of life gap between eastern and western countries has been decreasing due to the increased export of valuable resources such as oil from developing countries (Hillman, director, 2010).…

The Bucket List

The movie, The Bucket List, is a very comical but meaningful movie that portrays the death and dying process. Carter Chambers and Edward Cole become roommates in the hospital and when they find out they both only have months to live, they start checking off things from a bucket list they made. Rather than feel sorry for themselves after finding about they had about six months to live, they faced the idea of death and decided to live their life to the fullest, transforming themselves like they never knew possible. Throughout the movie, elements of the American death system were present as well as different factors that influenced Chambers and Cole’s attitudes and perspectives on death and dying. The American death system consists of five elements …show more content…

Immediately after Chambers heard he had up to a year to live, he was ready to pack his things up at the hospital and spend the rest of his days at home with his wife and grandchildren. Cole’s perspective was much different and he convinced Chambers to finish the bucket list that he had begun to make. Chambers did not think that his scribbles that consist of a bucket list would ever be real. At first, I had began to think that Chambers was in denial of what was happening to him, that he was dying, but my perspective began to change as the film went on. Throughout his adventures checking things off his bucket list, you learn a lot about Chambers attitudes towards death. He is a man of faith, he believes in God, heaven, and hell. He speaks a lot about God to Cole within the movie and you begin to see his perspective on what happens after death. During his conversations, Chambers knew what he wanted a mass service in his honor as well as had plans for the disposal of his body after death.. Chambers spoke about how he had thought about it for a while and wanted to be cremated and have his ashes spread somewhere; he had a plan in his mind unlike Cole. He was happy with they way his had live his life in regards to his wife, children, and grandchildren which was the opposite of how Cole lived his life. Chambers did not seem scared of death or dying and knew what would happen to him after he …show more content…

One personal accomplishment for me would be to travel the world, although very broad, while traveling I would be able to see the Seven Wonders of the World.

I have yet to decide where I would want to live, but I want it to be somewhere that fits my personality and is able to offer my many opportunities. The third thing on my bucket list here would be get scuba certified. Although while in Australia I got a ‘resort certification’, I want to be completely certified to go down very far in the water. This is a goal that I have been doing a lot of research on as well as saving money up to get certified by Summer 2017 after I graduate college. The fourth thing I would to accomplish on my bucket list would be starting my own business, whether this is a coffee shop or a YMCA type of building, I want to say that I have done it. I hope to graduate and eventually get my masters in business as well as find someone who has the same ambitions as me to help jump-start this goal and cross it off my bucket list.

Peter Singer Argument

I would have to disagree with Singer assumption that we are all trained to believe that death is always portrayed with a negative connotation, if anything many people believe that death is not the end. Whether we become angels, spirits, or reincarnations many people want have a positive perspective when they will eventually perish. Of course one could argue that beliefs like these exist in part due to the fear of death itself and expecting that we continue existing in some fashion offers provides some relief. In regards to the question, people here have already given answers that would I agree with, assuming that Mrs. Bennett wasn't embellishing her story in order to frame both her and her husband in a optimistic light, I also can believe

Symbolism In Night By Elie Wiesel

Death plays a bigger role in life than life itself. When people die, people cry, and while people cry, a clear moment of lucidity occurs. Death is what makes every moment worth living and is told through stories of books and movies with symbols both subtle and blunt. Night, for example, is an autobiographical novel recalling Eliezer’s experience through concentration camps while The Book Thief is a historical fiction film where Liesel is a bystander who participates in activities symbolizing war. History is intertwined death.

In a way, Nancy’s diary is a metaphor for the hopes and aspirations of the family they never will never get to fulfil. Nancy writes down her feelings and hopes for a later day, but that day never

The Masque Of The Red Death Allegory Analysis

Despite the belief that one can live forever, death is certain. Edgar Allen Poe wrote his short story, “The Masque of the Red Death” with a greater meaning than simply the Red Death, or plague. He wrote this story, symbolizing the stages of life. In “The Masque of the Red Death”, Poe uses the symbols of the hallway, the rooms, and the braziers, to enhance the allegory, and to show how death is inevitable and one can not spend their life worrying about it.

The Illustrated Man Theme Essay

That theme is retrospecting on your life, and seeing what you’ve done with your life that you wanted to complete, but also what you haven’t completed. In “The Last Night…”, a man reflects on his life with his wife as they know that the end of the world is approaching. In “Marionettes, Inc.”, a man reflects on the trip to Rio he never got to take because a robot is taking over his life. In “Kaleidoscope”, an astronaut named Hollis has to reflect over his life as he is plummeting to his death in space after his rocket blows up. When we are dying, we find out if we have completed our life goals, and remember the ones we forgot.

Research Paper On Harold Shipman

I believe he actually enjoyed deciding who was going to live or die, and probably re-lived his mother’s death each time, which probably justified in his mind that he was doing the right thing. Greed was the final factor for the infamous “Dr. Death” when he forged a Will to obtain a large sum of money from one of his victims (Harold Shipman, 2014). The effort in drafting the forged will seemed so lack-luster, probably because he thought he could just persuade the family into believing this was the wishes of his patient. His arrogance and cocky attitude, I believe, ultimately

The Book Thief Narrative Essay

This is evidenced throughout the prologue. He begins the book suddenly with no introduction of who he is and is quite mysterious about himself. “I could introduce myself properly, but it’s not really necessary. You will know me well enough soon enough, depending on a diverse range of variables.” (P4) Death doesn’t reveal who he is in actual words, he gives the reader hints and this puts it into perspective who he is, “At that moment, you will be lying there…You will be caked in your own body.

Tuesdays With Morrie Theme Essay

Death is viewed, mostly, as a bad thing. This is because a life is being taken from people who love the dying person. But in this book, it seems to be that Mitch Albom is shedding a light on as to why death is a happy thing. Death brought Mitch and Morrie back together. Death gave Mitch hope to live a happy life.

This paper deals with health services provided by the hospitals and nursing and care centers, to the patients who are suffering from diseases which are not usually curable. The paper raises some points that the hospital CEO’s can do to make such incurable diseases less painful, as well as help the patients in living the rest of their numbered days of life in peace and as much happiness as possible. The paper takes into account a movie named “The bucket List”, which deals with such an incurable disease. It shows how the protagonists try to live as happily as possible and do all that they ad ever wanted to do in their lives.

The movie “The Bucket List” shows two men, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman, from different walks of life, who suffer from cancer and are brought for tests and are admitted in the same hospital. They become friends while living there. Both have little time left, as told to them by the hospital authorities. So, they make a list of all the things they had always wanted to do in their lives, and had never got an opportunity to do so. They call that list, a bucket list. To make their last days of life more meaningful and probably less painful than expected, both the men set out to carry out their to-do tasks. At some point of time, their lives intersect at a point and they tend to help each other achieve the other’s desire or wish. Their lists include some of the following tasks:

Witness something truly majestic
Help a complete stranger for a common good
Laugh till I cry
Drive a Shelby Mustang
Kiss the most beautiful girl in the world
Get a tattoo
See the pyramids
Get back in touch

Now, to get all these desires fulfilled and all the wishes come true, there has to be a source, which must get this done. It may be the patient’s family, or the hospital itself, or even the government. Whatever the source may be, the aim is to make the patient’s life as smooth and happy as possible. As asked in the paper, what is the role of the CEO’s of the hospital? The CEO’s of the hospital must take a step to alleviate the pain of the patients who are in such a condition.

They must advice them to pray regularly. Besides that, the patients must be given full opportunity to do what they always wanted to do in their lives, so that, they don’t have any regrets. Their families must also be completely supportive in making the patients realize their dreams and fancies. The most important thing is that they should not be continuously reminded of their disease. Besides, as long as they are living in the hospital, the staff must make it sure that such patients are provided with, as much as possible, all the things they desire. For example, they can be provided with video games, movies, their favorite books from a library, magazines, and the like.

The question now arises as to who should pay for all the above expenditures? One answer can be the patient’s family. In case where the family is not well off, then the government must step forward to help such patients, since, they were once citizens of its country. It is the government’s duty to make their lives beautiful, when they just have a few days or months to live.

The most important thing is to provide them with care and support. They need everybody’s love and guidance. They must be given proper treatment. Their lives should be made as smooth as possible. Death bites. But dying while healthy, rich and free enough to drink life to the last drop is getting great press, thanks to a new movie (Cathy Lynn Grossman and Laura Bly, USA Today).

“The Bucket List,” (2007) is a meaningful movie about two terminally ill patients, Carter Chambers and Edward Cole, experiences the death and dying phase in their late adulthood. Carter and Edward were roommates in a hospital owned by Edward himself. They became friends not so long after that and made a bucket list of the things they wanted to do before they die. “The Bucket List” is a list of the craziest and most unforgettable things a person hopes to experience or achieve in life. Although Carter and Edward were close friends, they both have lived very different lives. While Edward got all the money in the world, he has never been loved.

On the other hand, being a mechanic at a typical car repair shop, Carter lived a happy life with his loving wife and family regardless of the financial issues. Despite the fact that his wife disagreed with the plan, Carter and Edward left anyway. They went sky-diving, got tattoos, drove the Shelby Mustangs, flew in a private plane to France, went to the African safari, Egypt, the Great Wall of China, and finally to Hong Kong. Throughout the trip, Carter realized family was what important to him, and Edward realized the last thing he wanted to do was seeing his daughter again.

At the end of the movie, Carter and Edward passed away; their remains were buried in two coffee cans at the top of Mount Himalayans. The movie did an excellent job at displaying the biosocial development of aging portrayed by Carter and Edward. It also applied the wear-and-tear theory, meaning a process by which the human body wears out because of the passage of time and exposure to environmental stressors (Berger, 2012a, p. 654). Not only aging dealt with physical changes, cognitive changes, but it also dealt with death and dying, which was the result of the wear-and-tear theory for late adults who suffered illnesses. The death and dying phase was emphasized significantly in the movie.

It had also mentioned several emotional characteristics of death and dying such as denial, anger and acceptance. In the beginning, both Carter and Edward went through denial, where they attempted to deny the reality that they both have cancer and tried isolating themselves from reality, led to the feeling of anger and resentment to the people around them. However, in the end, after fulfilling their bucket list, they both have learned to accept reality, death, and found peace within themselves. Self-actualization is a cognitive development mentioned slightly in the movie.

It is the final stage of Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs characterized by aesthetic, creative, philosophical, and spiritual understanding; portrayed by Carter (Berger, 2012b, p. 686) Carter has always tended to accept himself and others as they are. He lacked inhibition but was able to enjoy himself and his life free of guilt. Meanwhile, self-actualization was what Edward lacked.

A characteristic under self-actualization called peak experiences was actually displaying in both characters Carter and Edward as well. What is actually a peak experience? According to Maslow, these are feelings of opening up to the vision, the feeling of conquering obstacles, the feeling of ecstasy, wonder and awe, the loss of placement in time and space with, finally, the conviction that something extremely important and valuable had happened, so that the subject was to some extent transformed and strengthened their daily life by such experiences (What are peak experiences? n. d). That, was what happened in the end of the movie, after fulfilling their bucket list and did the things they have never done before, but always wanted to do, Carter and Edward was finally ready to face death because they have finally lived up to the quote: “Live each day as if it was your last day. ” Erik Erikson’s last stage of psychosocial development, Integrity versus Despair, was similar to what Carter and Edward had gone through psychosocially.

This last stage defines an elder who seek to integrate their unique experiences with their vision of community (Berger, 2012c, p. 694). For example, both Carter and Edward had looked back upon their lives, wished they had done something different and wanted to do things that they still want to do. Carter always wanted to be a history teacher, but he felt like he needed to work hard to keep food on the table for his family. On the other hand, Edward always wanted to have someone special in his life because he was married four times and had a daughter but was never in a great relationship with anyone besides his work. Thus, they both have shown despair.

However, Edward and Carter felt like they wanted to switch roles, in the end, their lives seemed to have been fulfilled emphasizing integrity. Throughout the movie, cancer was what hindered the growth and development of Carter and Edward. If they were cancer-free, they could have lived longer and could possibly become centenarians. But, they would never have been able to experience the joy, the love, and the crazy experiences if had not for cancer. Although, cancer has made them bitter men in the beginning, but at the end, they were happy with what they had because they have fulfilled their wishes.

Overall, “The Bucket List” was successful at demonstrating the effects of death, the values in life and particularly, the development of an average older adult through biosocial, cognitive and psychosocial phases. Not only the movie teaches a person to deal with what life offers, to forgive, to love, but also to live the best a person can be with positive attitudes. Even though, Carter and Edward were old and at the verge of dying, they still had goals that they wanted to accomplish. They got out there and achieved what was on the list even when they may not have been well all the time. So, live life to the fullest everyday and always have a goal, something that can be live up to and look forward to.

The Bucket List

Two terminally ill men escape from a cancer ward and head off on a road trip with a wish list of to-dos before they die.
Corporate billionaire Edward Cole and working class mechanic Carter Chambers have nothing in common except for their terminal illnesses. While sharing a hospital room together, they decide to leave it and do all the things they have ever wanted to do before they die according to their bucket list. In the process, both of them heal each other, become unlikely friends, and ultimately find joy in life. — r2k443
Edward is a rich man and is forced to share his room with Carter in the cancer ward of his hospital to improve the public relations of his company. Both are given the news that they have less than a year left. They both then decide to make the most of whatever time they have left and form a bucket list . One by one they keep crossing items on the list till all items are crossed and in turn add value to each others lives. — Keith Francis
Having only a few months left to live, terminally ill Edward and Carter have an epiphany. Determined to take matters into their own hands, the unlikely team embarks on a liberating quest to right the wrongs that kept them stuck forever. However, their extensive, enthusiastic bucket list demands courage. After all, the two broken men were afraid to live for decades. But not this time. Now, Carter and Edward want to live the rest of their days to the fullest, heal the painful wounds of the past, and end the party with a bang--even if it kills them. — Nick Riganas
Blue-collar mechanic Carter Chambers (Morgan Freeman) and billionaire hospital magnate Edward Cole (Jack Nicholson) meet for the first time in the hospital after both have been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer. Although Edward is reluctant to share a room with Carter, complaining that he "looks half-dead already," they become friends as they undergo their respective treatments. Carter is a gifted amateur historian and family man who had wanted to become a history professor in his youth, had been "black, broke, [and with a] baby on the way" and, thus, never rose above his status as a mechanic at the McCreath body shop. Carter loves showing off his knowledge and his favorite show is Jeopardy!. Edward is a four-time divorced health-care tycoon and cultured loner who enjoys nothing more than tormenting his personal valet/servant, Thomas (Sean Hayes), who later reveals his name is actually Matthew. Edward prefers to call him Thomas because he finds the name Matthew too "biblical." Edward drinks a specific variety of coffee called "Kopi Luwak", one of the most expensive coffees in the world. Carter begins writing a "bucket list," or things to do before he "kicks the bucket" (i.e. dies). After hearing he has less than a year, Carter discards the list. Edward finds it the next morning and urges Carter to do everything on the list (and adds more things to do), and offers to finance the trip for the both of them. Carter agrees, despite the protests of his wife, Virginia (Beverly Todd). The pair begins an around-the-world vacation. They go skydiving together, drive a Shelby Mustang, fly over the North Pole, eat dinner at Chevre d'Or in France, visit and praise the beauty and history of Taj Mahal, India, ride motorcycles on the Great Wall of China, and attend a lion safari in Africa. Atop the Great Pyramid, looking out over the pyramids of Khafre and Menkaure, they confide about faith and family, revealing that Carter has long been feeling less in love with his wife and that Edward is deeply hurt by his estrangement from his only daughter, who disowned him after he drove away her abusive husband. In Hong Kong, Edward hires a prostitute (Rowena King) for Carter, who has never been with any woman but his wife. Carter declines and, realizing that he loves his wife, asks to return home. On the drive back, Carter reciprocates by trying to reunite Edward with his daughter. Edward angrily storms off. Carter returns home to his wife, children, and grandchildren where they have a nice family dinner telling stories and sharing jokes while a frustrated Edward stays home eating frozen dinners alone. The family reunion is short-lived. In the preparation for a romantic interlude, Carter suffers a seizure and is rushed to the hospital. The cancer has spread to his brain. Edward, who is now in remission, visits him and they share a few moments, where Carter reveals with great amusement that the origin of the Kopi Luwak Edward enjoys is grown in a Sumatran village, is eaten and defecated by a jungle cat, and is harvested because of the special aroma of the gastric juices. Carter crosses off "laugh till I cry" from his bucket list and insists Edward finish the list without him. Carter goes into surgery, but the procedure is unsuccessful and he dies on the operating table. As Carter dies and the news is given to his wife and family, Edward finally attempts to reconcile with his daughter. She not only accepts him back into her life but also introduces him to the granddaughter he never knew he had. After greeting the little girl with a kiss on the cheek, Edward crosses "kiss the most beautiful girl in the world" off the list. Edward delivers a eulogy at the funeral, explaining that he and Carter had been complete strangers, but the last three months of Carter's life were the best three months of his. He crosses off "help a complete stranger for the good" from the list. The epilogue reveals that Edward lived until age 81, and his ashes were then taken to the Himalayas by his assistant Matthew. As Matthew places a Chock full o' Nuts coffee can alongside another can, he crosses off the last item on the Bucket List ("witness something truly majestic") and places it between the cans. Carter's narration reveals the two cans contain their ashes and that Edward would have loved this, because he was "buried on the mountain, and that was against the law."

Movie the Bucket List

The Bucket List is a movie all about two men who live their lives as if they are going to be gone tomorrow. It’s a movie about two men with cancer that share a hospital room from both having cancer. When finding out they do not have much longer to live, decide that they are going to pursue a bucket list that one of the men had made. The two men Edward and Carter are complete opposites. Carter is a mechanic that has been married for forty-five years and has two children. Edward has tons of money and has been divorced four times, with a daughter that no longer talks to him.

He owns the hospital that the two men end up in with the motto he stands by “Two beds to a room, no exceptions. ” This motto is what caused him ending up in a room with Carter which he did not like at all at first. The one thing that brings them together is knowing they have to live their lives up and do what they have always wanted to do before dying. They became best friends unexpectedly and did more in their last few months before dying then some people can say they have done in their entire lifetime.

You should always live your life as if you are going to die tomorrow. Not in the sense that you should be miserable thinking your never going to be able to see the next day, but you should make your life the best it can be. This is what I have learned from The Bucket List, that you need to live each moment like it is your last. Some people never get the chance to find out when they will die and they do not always get to accomplish things in their life that they would like to do.

However, some people would not like to know the date that they will no longer be around. Dieing is scary, and when you know when your going to, some people take it hard and instead of making the best of it, they get depressed and do nothing else with their life. This movie in a sense shows you need to make the best of it. Making a bucket list would be a good idea, so you know what you would like to get accomplished before you do “kick the bucket. ” Making your life as joyful, fun and enjoyable as you can is important.

The Bucket List was not made just to be about two men that are dying from cancer, but to set an example to live your life to its highest potential. Yes, the men do have cancer and are not going to live for years, but they get to accomplish what they would like to do. They go to Egypt, traveling the world, skydiving, race fast cars and eventually Edward meets up with his daughter again and granddaughter. Do not hold grudges with anyone, because you never know when something might happen and you do not have a chance to fix it.

When you get a chance to do something fun, do it. Travel the country, see places and things you have never seen. Do not just lay around dying trying to comfort everyone around you when at the time you cannot even find it in you to comfort yourself. Cancer, of course is sad, painful and a tragic experience no one wants to have to deal with in their family. But the hidden meaning in the movie would be that even though you know your going to die, do not just lay around waiting for it to happen. You can still find it in yourself to have a little more fun.

I do not believe I have found as much joy in my life as I would like. My childhood has been great and my family is more amazing than I would be able to ask for. However, I am only eighteen, I would like to get married, have children of my own, finish college, and travel the world. If I was to pass today, I would not think that my life would have been complete. There is still huge areas of my life that I would like to go through before I never get the chance to again. These two men make a great bucket list, one that has some things I would personally like to accomplish as well.

My life has brought joy to my family, I know my parents were ecstatic when I was born, but I want to bring joy to my own family. My kids, my husband, hopefully even my grandchildren, will eventually be brought joy by myself. This is something I could only hope to have happen. The Bucket List, although is a sad movie, has its joyful and funny moments. It sets a life example to get out and do some exciting things with your life. And a deadline is the perfect way to get your butt out to do them.

Module 11 assignment: bucket list.

In 2007, Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman starred in a movie called The Bucket List. They played two older men with terminal illnesses who happened to share a hospital room.
