Stay Alive

When I saw the cast, I was surprised to find that the original heroine was Kristen Wiig, who really subverted the image of crazy spoofs with Stiller. And such a subversive performance of a normal drama, on the contrary, gives people a "clown" thinking and a taste of life. From the other side, it shows that the acting is good and the director is good.

There are a lot of loopholes in the plot logic, and too many daydream scenes are easy to make people play, but overall it is great and very popular. In particular, I was worried that the fantasy tone of the daydream clips would destroy the atmosphere of such a lively life theme, which would seem very noisy, but BS completely made up for this with a sufficiently calm and restrained narrative. Although the whole story is still vulgar, there is not much preaching and sensationalism in the telling process, and it is easy to highlight its goodness.

Another highlight is that I originally thought that there would be no 25th negative, because the front was enough to make any awesome photos difficult to match the importance of this cover, so I simply left blank and used such a life adventure story. An alternative would be a good choice. But in the end the negative really appeared, and the magazine cover immediately touched me as soon as it appeared. It was awesome.

The last thing to say is the original sound. At the end of the film, I found that Jose Gonzalez, who I love, participated in the production of the whole film. No wonder it is so deeply in my heart. The song Stay Alive, which sounds with the photo of the actors at the end, is my favorite. With this meaning, I hope everyone can live a wonderful life.


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.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty quotes

  • Sean O'Connell: Number 25 is my best ever, the quintessence of life, I think. I trust you'll get it where it needs to go, you always do.

  • Ted Hendricks: Never fun, this stage, but we do have ahead of us the privilege of publishing what will be the very last issue of Life magazine. We just received a telegram from Sean O'Connell, who has never been willing, I'm told, to speak with the executives here. Well, he broke his long silence and shared his thoughts with us through that old man... Sean O'Connell. I expect full consideration of negative 25 for cover. My most grand. The quintessence of life... what is that?

    Ted's Toner Box Associate: Best. Highest.

    Ted Hendricks: So our cover will probably be the most famous ever because it will have the big quintessence of all time. Full and so rich. So let's see this thing. Let's see it. What am I doing here? What's going on?

    Don Proctor: Negative assets has it. This gentleman here.

    Ted Hendricks: Ah, Major Tom! Can I get that?

    Walter Mitty: It's being processed.

    Ted Hendricks: All right, let's do it. Let's process some quintessence. Come on. Go, now. That's why I'm clapping.
