Walter Mitty Movie Analysis
Do you like funny/action movies? In my opinion, I love funny/action movies like “The Secret life of Walter Mitty”, about a young man and everywhere he goes, he daydreams of a girl name Cheryl Melhoff . One day Walter was pasting around in New York. He had received a phone call from a random man on the phone, but surprisingly it was Todd from E-harmony. Todd was helping Walter with his profile and explaining how he could send a wink to Cheryl to capture her attention. After a while Walter imagined that he smelled burning fire in the building, so he quickly ran and saved the love of his life, Cheryl. Cheryl was impressed by how he took the time to save her and how he waited to finally get that kiss he been waiting for. Walter ended up daydreaming about Cheryl everywhere he went. I found this movie really thrilling and enjoyable.
The movie was entertaining. It had a lot of funny moments. For instance, when Walter and his boss were fighting in the elevator over a childhood toy called Strechy Arm Strong. But the funniest part for me was watching adult men acting like little kids. The scene that got me laughing so

It could be all serious in one scene, but it can all turn into in a funny movie. There are so many times where Walter Mitty was trying to talk to Cheryl, but ends up messing up over and over again. Sending you with laughter, this movie is a mix of humor if you have or haven’t watched it. If you like Ben Stiller as an actor and you think he is funny, than you should go see this movie. It will get you laughing, having your eyes crying full of joy. Overall, I highly recommend this movie. It’s worth of watching and it will make you want to see it over and over again. You should at least check it out at a video store that is near you to see if you find this movie funny and entertaining for your whole family to

    Tom Brennan Film Analysis

    • 740 Words
    • 3 Pages

    For a person's character to be built or changed, there needs to be a significant experience to provoke them into taking the first steps. This can be seen through the entirety of The Story of Tom Brennan, in the first few lines of the novel Tom says ‘I wanted to be back home having a barbie. Having our normal Australia day. Our Brennan Australia Day, the way we always did.” The colloquialism of the statement and the three words ‘home’, ‘Brennan’, and ‘always’ all used together show that all Tom wants is to have the positive family environment and traditions of the past that because of his brother’s stupidity in causing the car accident he believes he will never be able to have again. Later in the novel Tom decides to visit his brother in gaol, Tom states ‘I took the books out carefully, page…

    We are venturing again to Los Angeles this week where 1987 graduate, Corey Jackson, works as a film and television composer. After a movie is made, Corey meets with the director of the film to “spot” the film. This is the process of deciding where music should go in the film and what emotions the music should portray. After the spot, Corey writes the music for one scene at a time. Each composition is sent to the director for approval. Corey says that the director may like it the first time or may send it back with notes and suggestions for him to try again. “Once that is completed I, with the help of my team, will record, mix and deliver the music to the dubbing stage for final mix,” says Jackson. He also describes being on the set of a movie as not glamorous, contrary to what some may think. On a constant deadline, he says working is hard, time consuming, and challenging, but working with like minded people who all have the same ultimate goal and work ethic makes it easier.…

    Any movie based upon a piece of literature can make or break its source of inspiration. Some movies do no mercy toward the book, while some exceed the quality of the novel. The movie, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty, directed by Norman Mc Lean, was a much better piece of work than the short story, "The Secret Life of Walter Mitty," written by James Thuber, because the video had a satisfying conclusion, more action, and a much more developed and advanced plot.…

    In James Thurber’s “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty,” the character Walter Mitty dreams of being a hero, and this contrast in characterization in real life reveals how unhappy he is with his dull and cowardly existence. Mitty’s life is monotonous, spent doing what his wife tells him to do. Mitty waits for his wife’s hair appointment to end when he realizes she will be done soon. He knows he has to get back to the hotel to meet his wife because “she didn’t like to get to the hotel first; she would want him to be there waiting for her as usual” (Thurber 27). Mitty has no backbone, and he cannot even stand up to his wife when she pushes him around all the time. Thurber uses words like “as usual” to show that Mitty is used to his routine, but…

    “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty” by James Thurber demonstrates how excessive dreaming can have a harmful effect on one’s life and the lives of those around him, as shown in Walter Mitty’s unrestrained imagination. Walter Mitty slips into trances often during everyday activities, and they contrast extremely with his mundane life. While daydreaming about being a heroic doctor, Walter Mitty mindlessly tries to park, and a parking lot attendant yells to Mitty to get in the right lane so he does not crash. The worker offers to take over the job, and Mitty reluctantly agrees, thinking: “they think they know everything” (Thurber 337). Driving requires one’s uncompromised attention, and Mitty is not only distracted, but in a completely different world,…
