I love how he travels to find a picture, only to find his true inner self along the way. The picture he eventually finds is, of course, of him. This was a wonderful film. I think I love the scene of the longboard ride the most.
Yeah, I love how it transpires, that his friend loved the simple things, from his friends life, yet the guy envied his friend, even though, the photographer took time to value the simple things like piano and clementine cake. Then, he honoured his friend, and his work in a wonderful way. Lovely movie about workfriendship and our own journeys 🥰
My favorit scene is when he is in the pub and the helicopter starts because this is the moment when he makes the choice that will change his whole life.
That's the story of Man (not human beings which are temporary units rather than eternal beings). MAN, is/are a probe sent by the universe that allows the universe to become aware of itself. While the cosmic traveler has found itself trapped in a little blue planet within the boundaries of the physical self (a picture of itself), it won't be long before it shakes itself off to freedom... which freedom you may ask? I will let Don Juan Matus, through the books of Carlos Castaneda, answer that: “To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle.”
I first saw the trailer on a store TV. What i didn't know then was that TV was 4k, playing at 60fps. So I was blown away. When I finally got to watch it, I was on 720p monitor, at 24fps. Something just didn't seem right.
The other Beautiful quote is when Walter asks the man he was looking for, what the picture in his wallet was of. And he replies with maybe a ghost cat. Meaning Walter was that beautiful thing hidden in plain sight
I just want to say this movie changed my way of seeing things. I'm just like Walter, i have a common job and i used to daydream all the time. About my life, about me being a perfect person. A better version of me. After i saw the movie i felt inspired. Not to travel around the world but to LIVE. No matter what i do for a living, not matter where i live or my economic status. I'm trying to enjoy every little thing in life. I have decided, i'll spend more time in the moment i'm living. I'll do my best, i'll achieve my dreams. And i'll use my imagination in something i've always wanted to do. Writing.
YES!!! it is not travelling to make you enjoy life ..to me...is have a fullfilling life from your innerself to the exterior world! of course travel gives you so much...but Living to me is make those things you want! go and make them! stop dreaming just wake up!!!! (another movie quote)
The movie introduced me to them. I immediately bought the soundtrack for the movie (amazing) and My Head is an Animal is one of my favorite albums now.
@@akiramenai4973 alita is good but the story is very simple, it's not strong enough to attract people. Alita woke up find a boy get her memories back and start playing games to reach the top 🥴🥴🥴
It's not all too underrated. It's a great movie, but it still has some hollywood cliché-scenes in it and the love story was a bit boring and standard. If you liked the movie and would also go for something more special and less hollywoody, watch captain fantastic or into the wild :)
stonedNcreepy yeah but the cinematography and scenery is soo beautiful and breathtaking.....and there really wasn't a love story.....but the music....and the epic ending...... Its really underrated.....and I can't understand why critics didn't liked it that much...... Amd yes i have seen captain fantastic but i liked TSLOWM more
This movie made me leave my very lucrative but dull job in India . I'm moving to England now and will travel whole of Europe and definitely Iceland n Greenland . I loved, the secret life of Walter Mitty . Thank you Ben .
That sounds amazing! Just so you don't get disappointed, nothing of this movie was actually filmed in Greenland. The part of "Greenland" is actually filmed in my hometown Stykkisholmur! But you should definitely visit Greenland anyways!
I sincerely feel, and believe that "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" is a masterpiece. My own reaction stunned me when I first watched it, as I never expected something so profound, something so life affirming to be found within a Ben Stiller film. The people I know are always beyond taken aback when I state this. They had always taken a pass on this film, after seemingly always having nearly watched it. This film is the red pill (or rather the red car) that people need to see. I felt as though this film has breathed beauty, curiousity, as well as new courage into my soul.
Great way to put it in words. I have recommended this movie to so many people as my favorite but just a few actually watched it. And somehow some didn’t even like it
@@mesadepalo Thank you so much for your reply - as I forgot I'd written this until you did! I think this movie does something to the souls of the creative and the adventurous. It resonates with us deeply and also whispers to us that "It truly is never too late...begin planning, that can take the time it needs. But when you have enough of a plan - add courage to that cocktail." I suffered a traumatic brain injury as the result of an assault a few years ago. I'm still trying to get my life back together since, but I am now at a stage where it looks quite clear that I am getting very close. No matter what you've gone through - please believe me that it truly is never too late. Stories like this one definitely helped keep my hope alive though. I watched this film so often during 2021 & 2022. I'm well on my way to getting my novel finished now, and I've been working on it for seven years. I've also recently made a strong attempt to return to my profession : acting (in particular Voice acting etc.) We'll see how that goes. Plans, actions and relentlessness. They're all you need. Oh, and a little belief. Stories like "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" can help you with that. 💚
This movie is just amazing. It shows the story of a ordinary person becoming someone he thought he could never become. All he had to do is believe and he achieved the unthinkable. Be like Walter Mitty. Be Somebody
I don't think it was lack of confidence. When he was young he wanted to see the world and do all these amazing things, he chose not to so he could take care of his family after his father's death. For me, the story is about him realizing he no longer has to carry all that weight and can rekindle that passion. But he was always somebody, and somebody amazing at that. That's why the photographer chose him as the final image for the magazine cover. Not the rock star explorer Walter, but the everyday Walter that was just doing his job.
It doesn't make sense. It's a fantastic film! Some fatcats probably tried to squash it. Get people paying attention to the new Star Wars or Superman that came out that same week.
This film resonated so much with me. I left my office job and now I'm travelling around Asia. Hardest part was finding a way to fund myself while travelling but found a way and won't stop. Having the best time of my life here!
@@nevillesee1178 Personally, I do freelance web design and make enough to not worry about money here plus I use Trading 212. I don't make salary money off it but enough to make it worthwhile.
@@nevillesee1178 If you can't do that, simply teach English online. I do it also, but not very often. It's basically beer money. But I know a lot of ladies and gents here travel just by making money off of English teaching
"You don't travel to see different things. You travel to see things differently." Edited to add: Thanks for all the likes! As a side note, I put this comment in quotes, because I didn't come up with it. I saw it years ago painted on the door of a Landrover Defender "Cornwall 2 Capehorn" expedition vehicle, by the owner, Ben Davenport. Credit where it's due.
UnitedDorks I disagree. The movie's pacing was perfect to me. It didn't feel rushed but it also didn't have any lull points. I was always wondering what was next and I never felt bored. It was a good movie. And I'm not even a huge Ben Stiller fan
I guess critics all very judgemental that's why they're called critics. And the sad part to me was they often seeing the negative side more than the positive~ at least one thing is comforting to know, we ourselves get to decide what we like!
One of my favorite all time! EVERYTHING about this movie was perfect. I couldn't understand why more people didn't rave about it. I guess I'm just one of the weird ones (like many commenting here!) :)
the reason i like this movie is that its not "glamorous". it shows how a normal dude who worked a boring job his whole life can do great things, even though they aren't "great". love it.
Realistically speaking, his job was pretty cool. Plus he got to walk around in that big warehouse with that one other guy and also had a chair to sit in and work. My job I have to stand for 8 hours straight and it destroys my knees. I'm 18, I should not have these joint pains. I work out too of course but it's bad and I'm jealous of that job
What you said can be turned into a great quote. "You don't have to be great to do great things. It's when you do great things, you become great." That's just... Great.
cant forget that either! hope all the people who replied are doing well. i still love this movie! it helped me take a chance on a new adventure in my life.
This movie also tells us that there’s more to life then being a work machine. There’s more to life then being cooped up in an office for 9+ hours. Life is full of experiences waiting to happen, but people are to afraid to actually take a chance.
4yrs Past since this comment and it still holds strong. The Critica hated it because they need for you to feel small so they can feel smal.. Never be afraid to Dream so that it can become reality.
A powerful, powerful film. No, it's not perfect. Yes, it has flaws. But what a powerful message! We're all Walter Mitty-so much exploration and adventure is out there for us if we just take the leap off the edge. Everyone should see this movie. Great soundtrack, stunning landscapes, amazing cinematography, and above all an immensely powerful message.
i cried every time i watched this video. i’m a film student who are scared of people around me who are way more experienced. i remember the first day i was in a film class i almost shit my pants thinking how other people may judge my work. then i watched this wonderful film, it gave me confidence to actually go out and be brave. i did my first project and everyone loved it. the most amazing part is that my first project is based on this film! Ben, you changed my life!
This movie was what inspired me, it told me that even "that guy" could do anything. Since then I've been on 5 continents and lived in places most will only dream of. Edit- i want to thank everyone who has commented and thumbed. My name is Kent Stone and in 2008 I was diagnosed with a spinal thing leading on this crazy adventure. Recently I've had to incorporate a wheelchair into my travels but my adventure is still going. This winter i am hoping to learn snow skiing at the disabled ski school outside Denver.
This movie, or I better say the director, managed to capture freedom. Sounds ironic, but he did. I can literally feel Bens freedom in a lot of scenes. It makes me feel alive!
Dropped out of college last year although I was just one year away from graduating, after watching this movie and was inspired to pursue what I truly love, to cook, to become a chef. Working at a local restaurant now as a demi, hard work, tough, challenging. But never one day in my life I regretted my choice. Just glad I met this movie.
[Verse 1] Jumping up and down the floor My head, is an animal And once there was an animal It had a son that mowed the lawn The son was an okay guy They had a pet dragonfly The dragonfly, it ran away But it came back with a story to say [Verse 2] Her dirty paws and furry coat She ran down the forest slopes The forest of talking trees They used to sing about the birds and the bees The bees had declared a war The sky wasn't big enough for them all The birds, they got help from below From dirty paws and the creatures of snow [Refrain] La la la La la la, la La la la La la la, la [Instrumental] [Verse 3] So for a while, things were cold They were scared down in their holes The forest that once was green Was colored black by those killing machines But she and her furry friends Took down the queen bee and her men And that's how the story goes The story of the beast with those four dirty paws [Refrain] La la la La la la, la La la la La la la, la [Refrain] La la la La la la, la La la la La la la, la
It was 2013,my father died,i got school problems ,move to another state,but my serious problem was always thinking that my dreamworld are better than my reality life.But 2014,when the movie was realesed,watching it inspire to be go away from my dreamworld and understanding the Quintessence of Life.Thank you for this movie,almost every year i watch this movie and always realease my stress and gives me joy 🙂🙂🙂✌.Happy 2019
when I was a kid growing up in the country in Virginia I was allowed to leave the house in the mourning after breakfast and as long as I made it home before dinner I could go wherever my legs would take me. my friends and I used to explore the woods, go out on the lake in a John boat, walk down the train tracks to the bridge and jump off. we used to walk into the next county, and we were no more than 12 years old. now finally my kids are old enough to go out bike riding and exploring but in this day and age I can't let them go off by themselves. so I have been going out with them and watching them discover how much fun it is to explore makes me feel it again. luckily we're only a couple hours from the Blue Ridge Mountains which has some great hikes.
+syates2346 Lucky duck dude, I live in India and lets just say it's not that easy finding adventure or time when you're up to the neck with school....That being said I take an hour a day to explore and document the world around me, it's insane how much a few kilometers of walking through a jungle, or a few stories of walking up to a roof, can give you....sure it's risky, but that's half of the fun.....man nothing beats getting chased by a stray dog down a big hill.....it's times like those which I love so much....
+epiclapser sounds awesome! don't lose the spirit. how likely are you to run into a tiger or some monkeys where you live in India? that would be a little more dangerous than I can get into around here. I've been all over the western hemisphere but haven't been east yet.
I won't :) Not very likely....monkeys though I've been chased by one lol while on a family trip monkeys are everywhere tigers are hard to come by....what's dangerous where I hike and stuff is the people, like you could get mugged and stuff.....the west is suuper cool, I've been everywhere in the states, because I lived there for a long time....the east is just another world however lol the culture especially.....
+epiclapser yea my wife is from the east (China and Cambodia) so I should exploring that whole area soon. so much to see. that's funny as hell about the monkeys. I've heard they were inquisitive little things if not vicious.
To anyone who thinks this is impossible... 2014.. i was working in the kitchen of KFC cooking chicken getting paid fuck all... but then i decided fuck it... i hated it... i spent months and months trying to find a new job and then when i did.. i found a job at the airport.. saved some money and by november of 2015 i was watching the northern lights in iceland... i was walking through the streets of amsterdam.. by 2016 i was walking through the streets of hoi an, and by the start of 2017 i was already sitting on one of tromso's hills watching the northern lights.. i look back to those moments where i thought " i can't get to where i want" but then i decided fuck it im going to do something about it.... and it happened..
Joined the air force in 1977 when I was 17, two years later I am hitting country after country as a flight mechanic on a c-130. in 1980 I was in no less then 15 countries. Japan, Germany, Australia, The UK, Philippines, Iceland, Greenland and many more. The only regret I have is not having a digital camera LOL but they where $350 to $500 bucks back then, and I never saved any money :) I think I only made $570 to $600 a month basic pay before tax's and around $150 a month in flight pay. But man it was good times.
I’m definitely in! This movie inspired me to travel to Iceland. We(me and my hubby )promised each other to return every year. We’ve been back three times so far! I can't wait to go back
I go into the comment section. And I see all these people talking about how this movie inspired them to go to new places, and explore life. It makes me think about how I always say that I *want* to do something, but I can never bring myself to actually doing anything. Everyone else had the guts to notice something was wrong with their life, and changed what was wrong.But I still lay in my bed with my laptop, feeling conflicted, yet still doing nothing about it. I'm just a waste of space. So I feel like telling anyone that's reading this comment to go outside and do something. Don't be afraid to try something new, or else you'll be a coward like me; too afraid of change to change for the better.
Thank you for sharing, I too am struggling to find the courage to change my life into what I envision for myself. Oftentimes I feel so much disappointment in myself for not following through with the goals I set out. It makes me feel anxious that I am missing out on precious time. In those moments I try and take a step back and remind myself there is no better time than right now to get started again on my goals and it tends to help. I hope you never give up pursuing whatever calls you
Getting away doesn’t always mean going out and exploring the world and new places. Just simply day dreaming, creative thinking, also is a get away. I, myself, tend to think back to when I wanted to backpack across Canada. I was getting all my stuff ready, ordering a backpack and a little single tent and all the works. In the middle of this all I met a girl that changed my life forever. She is now my fiancé and we have 2 amazing kids together. We’ve been together for 5 years now. Couldn’t imagine my self without her, but from time to time I think about what it would of been like if I did go backpacking. I am now a photographer in the works and I produce music. I work facilities over at a clothing shop and I actually enjoy it there. My life changed, and I love the life I have more then ever, but some day I will go backpacking haha. You don’t need to go and travel to have an amazing life, you don’t need money to have an amazing life that everybody wants. An amazing life can just come from the simplest things. I’ve been told once before, if you have a good life, then why do you still need to go on vacations?
The trick is to start small. Some people can't jump I to the world with both feet because they are apprehensive of what might happen and that is totally fine. I want to go backpacking in some of the most remote places I can find. Norway, Iceland, Russia etc. I want to build I life were I will have the freedom of being able to experience so many things but I can't fly to Norway today because I don't have the cash on me and because I am doing other things. I thought that I needed to go far away to get the peace of mind I have been craving but I don't. Yesterday I got back from hiking part of the Pacific crest trail and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I saw so many beautiful things and learned so much. As I was hiking along a steep drop off and the whole mountain was covered in mist I remember thinking to myself " this is the life that I always wanted" i realised that I was still thinking that I wasn't in some exotic place even though I was. The entire trip cost less then 200 bucks and I only had to drive 20 miles.
This movie was absolutely amazing. Ben Stiller was awesome. The music fit perfectly. This was a life-changing movie for me in so many ways Thank you Walter Mitty!
FUCKING PERFECT TRANSITIONS! 0:00 - the picking intro fits on the written numbers 0:50 - the lyrics says the legend is real 1:03 - HEY! Im on the plane 1:46 - the music says how that he's nervous 2:00 - Titanic feels 2:04 - Little Talks based transition 2:06 - its just perfect, the sound, the video, everything 2:15 - Energyyyyyyy! 4:13 - the background music, sums up their happy conversation
I went to Iceland with my wife after watching this movie, and visited some of the movie locations, listening to this song in the car all the time. Actually we spent the night inside a Van right there where he gets in the helicopter and saw the Aurora Borealis. Amazing trip. Recommended 100%
my comfort movie, someone who's been so afraid to live life to the fullest....always hiding in the corners of every room making themsleves invisible. This movie is my inspiration to have the courage to take that leap of faith out of the comfort zone and finally start living.
This movie is amazing saved me during a really depressing time in my life. The soundtrack is beautiful too. Everything about this movie is what movies were supposed to be about
Who else feels like this movie was way, way underrated and deserved better critical praise!?! Superbly done Mr. Stiller, directing and acting, you are the man.
I live in a pretty nice and small community of around like 10,000 people so a lot of people know eachother here so we're all really tight knit through athletics and stuff so it's pretty safe to just walk around like your not gonna really get kidnapped or anything so this movie inspired me to pack a hiking bag together and just walk the 15 mile bike path all through the woods and just enjoy nature. I'm literally never inside the house anymore. I do my chores like cut the grass help fix stuff around the house, and when that's all done I just take off by myself or with friends and just adventure around. All this because of this movie. I'm considering taking a trip to Iceland and hike that. I'm so glad I watched this.
I always find it funny to hear about what other people think a small town is. :) I mean, I live in Iceland and I once worked in a town of like 60 people
Best/most underrated movie ever.When I was younger I was in the USAF and traveled all over the world.Years and years later & much much older after watching this movie and seeing my father-in-law pass away, We decided to buy an RV and started traveling all over the country - No sharks, no volcanos - but visited National Parks, going coast to coast, mountains, oceans, swamps, rivers, prairies, cities, hiking, fishing, seeing hundreds of small town USAs, meeting thousands of good people along the way.Living our own little Secret Life of Walter Mitty adventures.BTW - a couple years ago, I even managed to skate board down a smooth lonely road surrounded by buffalo on an island...I thought of that scene in the movie, and cried tears of joy...
The most underrated movie I’ve ever seen. Ben Stiller at his finest. Love this movie. It never fails to make me wonder what’s beyond my limits. Thank you for this great movie!
This movie speaks to my soul. There's so much passion tucked into this movie I find myself teary eyed and smiling every time I watch it. Cheers to all you Ghost Cats out there
My favourite scene is when he decides to go along the helicopter pilot and grabs onto the net in the helicopter. Everything matches up there, cinematography and music, acting... Just beautiful and inspiring.
Jumping up and down the floor, My head is an animal. And once there was an animal, It had a son that mowed the lawn. The son was an OK guy, They had a pet dragonfly. The dragonfly it ran away, But it came back with a story to say. Her dirty paws and furry coat, She ran down the forest slope. The forest of talking trees, They used to sing about the birds and the bees. The bees had declared a war, The sky wasn't big enough for them all. The birds, they got help from below, From dirty paws and the creatures of snow. And for a while things were cold, They were scared down in their holes. The forest that once was green Was colored black by those killing machines. But she and her furry friends Took down the queen bee and her men. And that's how the story goes, The story of the beast with those four dirty paws
I watched this movie when I was 12/13. I was shy and wanted to be invisible. This movie means so much to me. I'm now, more confident but try everything at least once instead of not trying at all. Life is not about fitting into the mold, its about exploring the unknown and take what it gives. Firstly, I'm going to finish my education then travel the world. I have dreams and we should all, chase them.
This movie has a special place in my heart, this is the movie I never tell anybody about because it is a treasure that you'll have to stumble on like how the best things in life is. I watch it on every birthday I have, and I played this song and the entire soundtrack while driving to catch a glimpse of the northen lights. There is no word that would describe the similarities between me and Walter, I see the path and the end of it I turn like Walt where you are sucked into the matrix and having to bare this dystopian hell we live in. However, I do see the light at the end of tunnel where I break free just like Walt. I hope I'd reach there soon. My greatest appreciation to everyone who made this movie happen because it is a great message that many won't get to hear because it is not for everyone, that is how special things are. Good luck and I will see at the finish line.
I love that this movie has a low score from critics. It perfectly fits the theme of Walter's life and proves the merit of doing things despite what critics, your boss, or anyone else might tell you.
The Reason why I love this Film so much is, that it inspires me so much in many different ways. I love to see how he’s just bored and annoyed by his work and the people that are around him. Then when he decides to set himself a goal, he starts getting a more positive person and life. I’m 17 years old and there are moments where I stress myself so much with things that are unnecessary. My goal for the future is to just enjoy life more and to be more relaxed even if there are negative situations. I think this helps you a lot in life.
I havent spended much with my dad, i met him when i was 13 (im 17 now), he didnt abandon me or anythinb similar, he spen all that time working, missin 40 something years of his life, to bring my 3 older brothers and me now the best life he can, even after the hospital he worked at fired him he started to be a taximan so he could still mantain me and my mother. I may not know him and he may not know me as one could expect from a son or father, but i still appreciate everything he has done and sacrificed. This movie when it premiered my dad took me to cinemas to watch it, is one of the few memories i have of sharing a moment with him. And after we went out of the cinema he told me to not do what he did, to not waste my time in a work i didnt like, but do things before is to late and age caughts up to me. This movie deserves way more love and appreciation for teaching us to live our lives, have and adventure, do something more than just an office job.
Saw this when it came out, 5 years ago. Didn’t really understand it as I was 14. Decided to buy it and watch it again since I’m getting hit by life now. Going to school and working just to fit into society.Thank you Stiller. You have opened my mind up that everything is out there. I needed this. Hope everyone does what they want to do and not get stuck.
I remember watching this film when it came out and it inspired me to get into photography. 7 years later I was one of the top three students to be nominated for New Zealand student photographer of the year. I'm so grateful that this movie inspired to do something with my life and so I Thank you Mr Mitty !!
This movie is what rekindled my deep love for adventure and while I can't afford it my long term goal is to get a camper van and make it my home and travel
It's not about what we become, nor is it about the people we impact. It'll never be about how the world once knew us or saw us, it's about how we value ourselves... It's much harder to commit or to love when you don't know how to Love anything, so you have to start with one place: yourself. Our value, self worth should never be extrinsically based, our value will never be worth everything or captured in someone else's eyes. The meaning of life lies within ourselves and its essence is something we choose to carry. The Road we walk on, the path we carry through, the mist between us that is in our way, whether by ourselves, or with others that walk is A True Journey to self-discovery.
My go to movie for life!! I saw this movie after my entrance exams day, i had felt so terrible after my exams. But this movie, filled me up with so good confidence. Also by gods grace, i had topped that exam :)
Still remember the time when i left India quitting my job and moving to Canada. All you gotta take is a leap of faith and step into the unknown. This movie motivated me for that move. Thank you for such a masterpiece!
Hey Paanshul, Would love to know how you moved to Canada ? Did you took admissions for Masters ? I am from India and looking to move to Canada as well.
I was in high school when this movie released, I remember watching a trailer for it as an ad on RUclips and honestly I fell in love with the premise. After things happened to be nearing the end of my high school days; this movie was my comfort. The music in it was amazing such as monsters and men as José Gonzalez and the movie itself showed e what I can do with my life if I believed in myself and the potential the world can hold. I truly want to travel someday. To enjoy the simplicity of life. To learn new things. To say I’ve experienced a thoughtful and wonderful life. I’m only 20 and I still have a long journey ahead of me and I will not deny this movie has inspired me.
Im a pretty complex guy, I suffered a lot for a lot of things that werent my fault, nowadays im happy, I travel, I enjoy my Life, this movie os about That, about having thé courage tu keep fighting, to keep going, ive cryied a lot whatching this, from the soundtracks to the movie, its a materpiece! Thanks Ben Stiller
This movie motivated me to continue living and not give up on life... Everything is going to be fine; belive, respect, and trust in the way that your intuiton makes.
I love how he travels to find a picture, only to find his true inner self along the way. The picture he eventually finds is, of course, of him. This was a wonderful film. I think I love the scene of the longboard ride the most.
Yeah, I love how it transpires, that his friend loved the simple things, from his friends life, yet the guy envied his friend, even though, the photographer took time to value the simple things like piano and clementine cake. Then, he honoured his friend, and his work in a wonderful way. Lovely movie about workfriendship and our own journeys 🥰
My favorit scene is when he is in the pub and the helicopter starts because this is the moment when he makes the choice that will change his whole life.
My favourite scene is where he gathers the courage and takes the leap on to the helicopter. Everything changes after that.
That's the story of Man (not human beings which are temporary units rather than eternal beings). MAN, is/are a probe sent by the universe that allows the universe to become aware of itself. While the cosmic traveler has found itself trapped in a little blue planet within the boundaries of the physical self (a picture of itself), it won't be long before it shakes itself off to freedom... which freedom you may ask? I will let Don Juan Matus, through the books of Carlos Castaneda, answer that:
“To seek freedom is the only driving force I know. Freedom to fly off into that infinity out there. Freedom to dissolve; to lift off; to be like the flame of a candle, which, in spite of being up against the light of a billion stars, remains intact, because it never pretended to be more than what it is: a mere candle.”
This was an awesome film!!! Classic!!!
This movie has some of the best cinematography ever.
truly did even if it fell hard in some scenes
I liked this movie... Relaxing stuff😅
So many scene in the movie that so beautiful and i really fell in love with..
I first saw the trailer on a store TV. What i didn't know then was that TV was 4k, playing at 60fps. So I was blown away. When I finally got to watch it, I was on 720p monitor, at 24fps. Something just didn't seem right.
Another one is "In Order Of Disappearance". Stunning!
"Beautiful things don't ask for attention" My favourite quote from the movie..
The other Beautiful quote is when Walter asks the man he was looking for, what the picture in his wallet was of. And he replies with maybe a ghost cat. Meaning Walter was that beautiful thing hidden in plain sight
It is hard to take that quote, until you take a second and review what you've seen or what you've done, that's why the quote is important to me
Mine too!
mine too it should be the name of the film
Exactly!!!
I just want to say this movie changed my way of seeing things. I'm just like Walter, i have a common job and i used to daydream all the time. About my life, about me being a perfect person. A better version of me. After i saw the movie i felt inspired. Not to travel around the world but to LIVE. No matter what i do for a living, not matter where i live or my economic status. I'm trying to enjoy every little thing in life. I have decided, i'll spend more time in the moment i'm living. I'll do my best, i'll achieve my dreams. And i'll use my imagination in something i've always wanted to do. Writing.
Maladaptive daydreaming?
STAY STRONG ~
YES!!! it is not travelling to make you enjoy life ..to me...is have a fullfilling life from your innerself to the exterior world! of course travel gives you so much...but Living to me is make those things you want! go and make them! stop dreaming just wake up!!!! (another movie quote)
@@romycav4512 exactly! ❤️
Amazing :)
Everyone talking about how underrated the movie is but this band deserves so much. Of monsters and men.
The movie introduced me to them. I immediately bought the soundtrack for the movie (amazing) and My Head is an Animal is one of my favorite albums now.
Indeed
I love Dirty Paws and King Lionheart.
I knew them before the movie and both are so good an inspiring.
I remember watching the trailer in theatres and soon as I heard this song I had to look up the band
Icelandic too, which adds to it I feel, I’ve been and would highly recommend the country, it’s very unique.
This movie is an example of why I don’t trust what critics say
Agree. I loved it.
Alita is another good example. Fuck critics. Absolutely fuck them. With a Bad Cop's nightstick.
After watching this, I will watch the movie again(8th time)
The producers of this movie did not paid the critics any money. haha
@@akiramenai4973 alita is good but the story is very simple, it's not strong enough to attract people. Alita woke up find a boy get her memories back and start playing games to reach the top 🥴🥴🥴
Most underrated movie ever. Also one of my favourite movies.
definitely high on the list
Damn right
Mine ever
It's not all too underrated. It's a great movie, but it still has some hollywood cliché-scenes in it and the love story was a bit boring and standard. If you liked the movie and would also go for something more special and less hollywoody, watch captain fantastic or into the wild :)
stonedNcreepy yeah but the cinematography and scenery is soo beautiful and breathtaking.....and there really wasn't a love story.....but the music....and the epic ending......
Its really underrated.....and I can't understand why critics didn't liked it that much......
Amd yes i have seen captain fantastic but i liked TSLOWM more
This movie made me leave my very lucrative but dull job in India .
I'm moving to England now and will travel whole of Europe and definitely Iceland n Greenland .
I loved, the secret life of Walter Mitty .
Thank you Ben .
Keep fighting the good fight sir
That sounds amazing! Just so you don't get disappointed, nothing of this movie was actually filmed in Greenland. The part of "Greenland" is actually filmed in my hometown Stykkisholmur! But you should definitely visit Greenland anyways!
Very Epic !
Western Europe is a great way to lose your savings, if you do not have citizenship or welfare.
Great! Write your story. Maybe other will get inspired
I sincerely feel, and believe that "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" is a masterpiece. My own reaction stunned me when I first watched it, as I never expected something so profound, something so life affirming to be found within a Ben Stiller film. The people I know are always beyond taken aback when I state this. They had always taken a pass on this film, after seemingly always having nearly watched it. This film is the red pill (or rather the red car) that people need to see. I felt as though this film has breathed beauty, curiousity, as well as new courage into my soul.
Great way to put it in words. I have recommended this movie to so many people as my favorite but just a few actually watched it. And somehow some didn’t even like it
@@mesadepalo Thank you so much for your reply - as I forgot I'd written this until you did! I think this movie does something to the souls of the creative and the adventurous. It resonates with us deeply and also whispers to us that "It truly is never too late...begin planning, that can take the time it needs. But when you have enough of a plan - add courage to that cocktail."
I suffered a traumatic brain injury as the result of an assault a few years ago. I'm still trying to get my life back together since, but I am now at a stage where it looks quite clear that I am getting very close.
No matter what you've gone through - please believe me that it truly is never too late. Stories like this one definitely helped keep my hope alive though.
I watched this film so often during 2021 & 2022. I'm well on my way to getting my novel finished now, and I've been working on it for seven years. I've also recently made a strong attempt to return to my profession : acting (in particular Voice acting etc.) We'll see how that goes.
Plans, actions and relentlessness. They're all you need. Oh, and a little belief. Stories like "The Secret Life Of Walter Mitty" can help you with that. 💚
Based and redpilled
yes! curiosity. i think one without inner curiosity might not be able to get this movie. this movie is so powerful
Funny how this is one of my fav movies aha. Crazy to admit. I just love it that much
i am supposedly a grown-up man, why then do i cry my eyes out hearing this song and remember this incredible film? BEN STILLER you are loved.
dont worry brother youre not alone ! I'm 23 crying like a toddler right now xD

This movie is just amazing. It shows the story of a ordinary person becoming someone he thought he could never become. All he had to do is believe and he achieved the unthinkable. Be like Walter Mitty. Be Somebody
I don't think it was lack of confidence. When he was young he wanted to see the world and do all these amazing things, he chose not to so he could take care of his family after his father's death. For me, the story is about him realizing he no longer has to carry all that weight and can rekindle that passion. But he was always somebody, and somebody amazing at that. That's why the photographer chose him as the final image for the magazine cover. Not the rock star explorer Walter, but the everyday Walter that was just doing his job.
the craiz mhietreaas¿
Wow,.. this made me cry. lol
U mean confidence? Smh
name movie ? :b
This movie brought me to Iceland !!!
i think that was the whole point ... to open new doors
Jake, my doors are always open. Society will do that to you if you have an open mind. If not, you get stuck at this rat race and dont even know it.
It was a huge part of my motivation for planning to go.
How was it?
Me too!
This movie is seriously underrated in my opinion. It’s so inspiring and rewatch able
who is underrating it?
It doesn't make sense. It's a fantastic film! Some fatcats probably tried to squash it. Get people paying attention to the new Star Wars or Superman that came out that same week.
This film resonated so much with me. I left my office job and now I'm travelling around Asia. Hardest part was finding a way to fund myself while travelling but found a way and won't stop. Having the best time of my life here!
What is the way
@@nevillesee1178 Personally, I do freelance web design and make enough to not worry about money here plus I use Trading 212. I don't make salary money off it but enough to make it worthwhile.
@@nevillesee1178 If you can't do that, simply teach English online. I do it also, but not very often. It's basically beer money. But I know a lot of ladies and gents here travel just by making money off of English teaching
Congratulation on your dream journey. It's everyone dreams but not everyone can make it. Wish i can make it one day. And may our path cross 🍺🍺
@@haggishighways Hu, I wanna do that ? How is it goin? I need that walkthrought guide ahah. I gotta get out that box.
I don't understand why people didn't like this movie I loved it and it's one of my favorite movies!!!
who said that?
Farrel Arantxa reviews have it at about 51/100 so I suppose that’s what he is referring too
Because it awaken someone's mind against the system.
Everyone is not meant to understand the best. And that is why there are handful of best in this world.
And this movie is a ' the best ' movie.
Not everyone knows the real jewels

Edited to add: Thanks for all the likes! As a side note, I put this comment in quotes, because I didn't come up with it. I saw it years ago painted on the door of a Landrover Defender "Cornwall 2 Capehorn" expedition vehicle, by the owner, Ben Davenport. Credit where it's due.
Very beautiful...
Agree. Travelling with just taking photos is not a good one.
Beautiful! It's the truth
dude you just made me shiver holy cow thanks for making my day brother
@peace leader HAHAHAHA
I hope Ben Stiller sees all the comments from people who's lives have changed because of this movie. Critics tended not to like it very much :(
Yes! This movie drags on. There were only some good moments. like this one
Fuck the critics. We the people saw it and loved it. ANd we'll always cherish it!
UnitedDorks I disagree. The movie's pacing was perfect to me. It didn't feel rushed but it also didn't have any lull points. I was always wondering what was next and I never felt bored. It was a good movie. And I'm not even a huge Ben Stiller fan
I guess critics all very judgemental that's why they're called critics. And the sad part to me was they often seeing the negative side more than the positive~ at least one thing is comforting to know, we ourselves get to decide what we like!
One of my favorite all time! EVERYTHING about this movie was perfect. I couldn't understand why more people didn't rave about it. I guess I'm just one of the weird ones (like many commenting here!) :)
Legends are watching this in 2021
We'll never forget this
Hello my friends.
Yes
I just watched this movie yesterday it was fantastic
Ayyye
The comments are so wholesome. Nice to see how impactful this movie is. Hope everyone gets to chase their dreams.
the reason i like this movie is that its not "glamorous". it shows how a normal dude who worked a boring job his whole life can do great things, even though they aren't "great". love it.
Realistically speaking, his job was pretty cool. Plus he got to walk around in that big warehouse with that one other guy and also had a chair to sit in and work. My job I have to stand for 8 hours straight and it destroys my knees. I'm 18, I should not have these joint pains. I work out too of course but it's bad and I'm jealous of that job
What you said can be turned into a great quote. "You don't have to be great to do great things. It's when you do great things, you become great." That's just... Great.
Fleet Admiral William F. 'Bull' Halsey Jr.: There are no great men, only great challenges that ordinary men are forced by circumstances to meet.
And the cinematography. Don't forget the superb cinematography in this film.
cant forget that either! hope all the people who replied are doing well. i still love this movie! it helped me take a chance on a new adventure in my life.
This movie represents us. That we have a choice,to either take a stand or give up,and Walter took a stand
YESSS Thank you
This movie also tells us that there’s more to life then being a work machine. There’s more to life then being cooped up in an office for 9+ hours. Life is full of experiences waiting to happen, but people are to afraid to actually take a chance.
What# the title?
4yrs Past since this comment and it still holds strong. The Critica hated it because they need for you to feel small so they can feel smal.. Never be afraid to Dream so that it can become reality.
that movie make me feel like "what am i doing with my life?"
Same here buddy....

A powerful, powerful film.
No, it's not perfect. Yes, it has flaws. But what a powerful message! We're all Walter Mitty-so much exploration and adventure is out there for us if we just take the leap off the edge. Everyone should see this movie. Great soundtrack, stunning landscapes, amazing cinematography, and above all an immensely powerful message.
i cried every time i watched this video. i’m a film student who are scared of people around me who are way more experienced. i remember the first day i was in a film class i almost shit my pants thinking how other people may judge my work. then i watched this wonderful film, it gave me confidence to actually go out and be brave. i did my first project and everyone loved it. the most amazing part is that my first project is based on this film!
Ben, you changed my life!
What's the name of your vídeo? Send the link ;) the first step it's always the hardest , congrat for that
Congratulations brother ❤️
This movie was what inspired me, it told me that even "that guy" could do anything. Since then I've been on 5 continents and lived in places most will only dream of.
Edit- i want to thank everyone who has commented and thumbed. My name is Kent Stone and in 2008 I was diagnosed with a spinal thing leading on this crazy adventure. Recently I've had to incorporate a wheelchair into my travels but my adventure is still going. This winter i am hoping to learn snow skiing at the disabled ski school outside Denver.
Kent Stone you're living my dream man
Congrats! it most be very exciting!!
You did a lot in two years, my friend.
How? I'd love to do this but I have no idea how I would ever be able to pay for it
Bravo, Kent Stone.
This movie, or I better say the director, managed to capture freedom. Sounds ironic, but he did. I can literally feel Bens freedom in a lot of scenes. It makes me feel alive!
And the director is Ben Stiller himself.
you gotta watch Into The Wild
even better than walter mitty
This movie is magical seeing someone find their courage is amazing and just makes you happy and shows how beautiful life is away from the office.
BoardEmporium free
Dropped out of college last year although I was just one year away from graduating, after watching this movie and was inspired to pursue what I truly love, to cook, to become a chef. Working at a local restaurant now as a demi, hard work, tough, challenging. But never one day in my life I regretted my choice. Just glad I met this movie.
More strength to you man! Keep going!
[Verse 1]
Jumping up and down the floor
My head, is an animal
And once there was an animal
It had a son that mowed the lawn
The son was an okay guy
They had a pet dragonfly
The dragonfly, it ran away
But it came back with a story to say
[Verse 2]
Her dirty paws and furry coat
She ran down the forest slopes
The forest of talking trees
They used to sing about the birds and the bees
The bees had declared a war
The sky wasn't big enough for them all
The birds, they got help from below
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow
[Refrain]
La la la
La la la, la
La la la
La la la, la
[Instrumental]
[Verse 3]
So for a while, things were cold
They were scared down in their holes
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men
And that's how the story goes
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws
[Refrain]
La la la
La la la, la
La la la
La la la, la
[Refrain]
La la la
La la la, la
La la la
La la la, la

It was 2013,my father died,i got school problems ,move to another state,but my serious problem was always thinking that my dreamworld are better than my reality life.But 2014,when the movie was realesed,watching it inspire to be go away from my dreamworld and understanding the Quintessence of Life.Thank you for this movie,almost every year i watch this movie and always realease my stress and gives me joy 🙂🙂🙂✌.Happy 2019
I feel you hope you best luck with your life😊
when I was a kid growing up in the country in Virginia I was allowed to leave the house in the mourning after breakfast and as long as I made it home before dinner I could go wherever my legs would take me. my friends and I used to explore the woods, go out on the lake in a John boat, walk down the train tracks to the bridge and jump off. we used to walk into the next county, and we were no more than 12 years old. now finally my kids are old enough to go out bike riding and exploring but in this day and age I can't let them go off by themselves. so I have been going out with them and watching them discover how much fun it is to explore makes me feel it again. luckily we're only a couple hours from the Blue Ridge Mountains which has some great hikes.
+syates2346 Lucky duck dude, I live in India and lets just say it's not that easy finding adventure or time when you're up to the neck with school....That being said I take an hour a day to explore and document the world around me, it's insane how much a few kilometers of walking through a jungle, or a few stories of walking up to a roof, can give you....sure it's risky, but that's half of the fun.....man nothing beats getting chased by a stray dog down a big hill.....it's times like those which I love so much....
+epiclapser sounds awesome! don't lose the spirit. how likely are you to run into a tiger or some monkeys where you live in India? that would be a little more dangerous than I can get into around here. I've been all over the western hemisphere but haven't been east yet.
I won't :) Not very likely....monkeys though I've been chased by one lol while on a family trip monkeys are everywhere tigers are hard to come by....what's dangerous where I hike and stuff is the people, like you could get mugged and stuff.....the west is suuper cool, I've been everywhere in the states, because I lived there for a long time....the east is just another world however lol the culture especially.....
+epiclapser yea my wife is from the east (China and Cambodia) so I should exploring that whole area soon. so much to see. that's funny as hell about the monkeys. I've heard they were inquisitive little things if not vicious.

This is one of my favorite movies and the soundtrack was incredible!
Me too, bro ;) perfect movie and song
I agree 100 percent best soundtrack great story i love once he is past the delusional thpughts and just going the music makes it great
This was a featured song, not the soundtrack.
Yeah I 100% agree
Excellent film.
This movie taught me" it's okay to be wierd , some people never become what they think "
To anyone who thinks this is impossible... 2014.. i was working in the kitchen of KFC cooking chicken getting paid fuck all... but then i decided fuck it... i hated it... i spent months and months trying to find a new job and then when i did.. i found a job at the airport.. saved some money and by november of 2015 i was watching the northern lights in iceland... i was walking through the streets of amsterdam.. by 2016 i was walking through the streets of hoi an, and by the start of 2017 i was already sitting on one of tromso's hills watching the northern lights.. i look back to those moments where i thought " i can't get to where i want" but then i decided fuck it im going to do something about it.... and it happened..
Such an Inspiration! I want to do something amazing with my life!
aussieblackhawk123 with yah man. Currently a kfc cook is Aus, sucks so bad.
i was working in a factory .... lame ass job ... went to Iceland for a year with work and travel ...the rest is magic :D
Brah, I hear you! One day I just want to quit this crappy DQ job, hop in my truck and just go wherever the road takes me.
Joined the air force in 1977 when I was 17, two years later I am hitting country after country as a flight mechanic on a c-130. in 1980 I was in no less then 15 countries. Japan, Germany, Australia, The UK, Philippines, Iceland, Greenland and many more. The only regret I have is not having a digital camera LOL but they where $350 to $500 bucks back then, and I never saved any money :) I think I only made $570 to $600 a month basic pay before tax's and around $150 a month in flight pay. But man it was good times.
Imagine if a group of people from the comments here got together to do a huge trip inspired by this film
That would indeed be something else!
I'm game, now that things have opened again there's no time like the present.
Where are we going?
late to reply but still , make it happen ! please !
I’m definitely in! This movie inspired me to travel to Iceland. We(me and my hubby )promised each other to return every year. We’ve been back three times so far! I can't wait to go back
Most under-rated movie of all time!
But one of the best
“Let’s just call it a ghost cat, Walter Mitty.”
Ben Stiller , this movie was a ingenuously written and directed movie without credit , people are blind not to see it for what it was.
Loved this movie. makes you feel alive again. Get out and do something.
Bronco Surveillance agree with you
Bronco Surveillance yeah, gonna go do something now ! lol :)
Bronco Surveillance Somos 3 los que amamos esta película. Es muy inspiradora.
+Bronco Surveillance I did. And then when I was done I got back in my old routine. Hm.
+Bronco Surveillance Probably my favorite movie ever.
I go into the comment section. And I see all these people talking about how this movie inspired them to go to new places, and explore life. It makes me think about how I always say that I *want* to do something, but I can never bring myself to actually doing anything. Everyone else had the guts to notice something was wrong with their life, and changed what was wrong.But I still lay in my bed with my laptop, feeling conflicted, yet still doing nothing about it. I'm just a waste of space. So I feel like telling anyone that's reading this comment to go outside and do something. Don't be afraid to try something new, or else you'll be a coward like me; too afraid of change to change for the better.
Lilliana Stern Feel you. Life can be tough and I do want to do something. But I just can't.
Try small steps, small things then start doing more
Thank you for sharing, I too am struggling to find the courage to change my life into what I envision for myself. Oftentimes I feel so much disappointment in myself for not following through with the goals I set out. It makes me feel anxious that I am missing out on precious time. In those moments I try and take a step back and remind myself there is no better time than right now to get started again on my goals and it tends to help. I hope you never give up pursuing whatever calls you
Getting away doesn’t always mean going out and exploring the world and new places. Just simply day dreaming, creative thinking, also is a get away. I, myself, tend to think back to when I wanted to backpack across Canada. I was getting all my stuff ready, ordering a backpack and a little single tent and all the works. In the middle of this all I met a girl that changed my life forever. She is now my fiancé and we have 2 amazing kids together. We’ve been together for 5 years now. Couldn’t imagine my self without her, but from time to time I think about what it would of been like if I did go backpacking. I am now a photographer in the works and I produce music. I work facilities over at a clothing shop and I actually enjoy it there. My life changed, and I love the life I have more then ever, but some day I will go backpacking haha.
You don’t need to go and travel to have an amazing life, you don’t need money to have an amazing life that everybody wants. An amazing life can just come from the simplest things.
I’ve been told once before, if you have a good life, then why do you still need to go on vacations?
The trick is to start small. Some people can't jump I to the world with both feet because they are apprehensive of what might happen and that is totally fine. I want to go backpacking in some of the most remote places I can find. Norway, Iceland, Russia etc. I want to build I life were I will have the freedom of being able to experience so many things but I can't fly to Norway today because I don't have the cash on me and because I am doing other things. I thought that I needed to go far away to get the peace of mind I have been craving but I don't. Yesterday I got back from hiking part of the Pacific crest trail and it was one of the most wonderful experiences of my life. I saw so many beautiful things and learned so much. As I was hiking along a steep drop off and the whole mountain was covered in mist I remember thinking to myself " this is the life that I always wanted" i realised that I was still thinking that I wasn't in some exotic place even though I was. The entire trip cost less then 200 bucks and I only had to drive 20 miles.
This movie was absolutely amazing. Ben Stiller was awesome.
The music fit perfectly.
This was a life-changing movie for me in so many ways
Thank you Walter Mitty!

I went to Iceland with my wife after watching this movie, and visited some of the movie locations, listening to this song in the car all the time. Actually we spent the night inside a Van right there where he gets in the helicopter and saw the Aurora Borealis. Amazing trip. Recommended 100%
my comfort movie, someone who's been so afraid to live life to the fullest....always hiding in the corners of every room making themsleves invisible. This movie is my inspiration to have the courage to take that leap of faith out of the comfort zone and finally start living.
This movie is amazing saved me during a really depressing time in my life. The soundtrack is beautiful too. Everything about this movie is what movies were supposed to be about
Do more crazy, spontaneous things, people! Enjoy life. It passes so quickly!
Who else feels like this movie was way, way underrated and deserved better critical praise!?!
Superbly done Mr. Stiller, directing and acting, you are the man.
"I haven't been everywhere, but it's on my list"
Still one of my all time favorite movies. It's so underrated.
I live in a pretty nice and small community of around like 10,000 people so a lot of people know eachother here so we're all really tight knit through athletics and stuff so it's pretty safe to just walk around like your not gonna really get kidnapped or anything so this movie inspired me to pack a hiking bag together and just walk the 15 mile bike path all through the woods and just enjoy nature. I'm literally never inside the house anymore. I do my chores like cut the grass help fix stuff around the house, and when that's all done I just take off by myself or with friends and just adventure around. All this because of this movie. I'm considering taking a trip to Iceland and hike that. I'm so glad I watched this.
You call that small? I live in a community with a grand total of 300..
Pffft I live in a place where, due to a rip in the spacetime continuum, the population is negative -211. I win!
this does not make logical or scientific sense but ok haha
About 1000 here
I always find it funny to hear about what other people think a small town is. :)
I mean, I live in Iceland and I once worked in a town of like 60 people
Secret life of Walter Mitty the best film ever
master plaster mr PL 10/10
Best/most underrated movie ever.When I was younger I was in the USAF and traveled all over the world.Years and years later & much much older after watching this movie and seeing my father-in-law pass away, We decided to buy an RV and started traveling all over the country - No sharks, no volcanos - but visited National Parks, going coast to coast, mountains, oceans, swamps, rivers, prairies, cities, hiking, fishing, seeing hundreds of small town USAs, meeting thousands of good people along the way.Living our own little Secret Life of Walter Mitty adventures.BTW - a couple years ago, I even managed to skate board down a smooth lonely road surrounded by buffalo on an island...I thought of that scene in the movie, and cried tears of joy...
A beautiful song from a beautiful movie. Every time I watch this video, I want to book a flight to somewhere new.
Do it man
He was the beautiful thing he was chasing after the whole time.
That hit me...
Unfortunately around a lot of my peers, but it was moving.
Amazing movie. a couple of months after watching this i found myself for the first time overseas in europe.
The most underrated movie I’ve ever seen. Ben Stiller at his finest. Love this movie. It never fails to make me wonder what’s beyond my limits. Thank you for this great movie!
Ben is a wonderful director.
This movie speaks to my soul. There's so much passion tucked into this movie I find myself teary eyed and smiling every time I watch it. Cheers to all you Ghost Cats out there
Wats the film called
The Secret Life of Walter Mitty
My favourite scene is when he decides to go along the helicopter pilot and grabs onto the net in the helicopter. Everything matches up there, cinematography and music, acting... Just beautiful and inspiring.
My favorite feel-good movie. Thank you for doing this, it's brilliant
Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an OK guy,

Her dirty paws and furry coat,
She ran down the forest slope.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.

From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws
I appreciate you giving us the lyrics, thank you.
Thanks for Lyrics...
what a lyrics!! =]
Of monsters and men are my favourite band 😍
Thank you
I watched this movie when I was 12/13. I was shy and wanted to be invisible. This movie means so much to me. I'm now, more confident but try everything at least once instead of not trying at all. Life is not about fitting into the mold, its about exploring the unknown and take what it gives. Firstly, I'm going to finish my education then travel the world. I have dreams and we should all, chase them.
World wasn't ready for this movie
About every 4 -6 months this video shows back up on my RUclips I am grateful every time I rediscover it Thank you for this wonderful mash up
This top 1 favorite movie of mine. And the most underrated...
This movie has a special place in my heart, this is the movie I never tell anybody about because it is a treasure that you'll have to stumble on like how the best things in life is. I watch it on every birthday I have, and I played this song and the entire soundtrack while driving to catch a glimpse of the northen lights. There is no word that would describe the similarities between me and Walter, I see the path and the end of it I turn like Walt where you are sucked into the matrix and having to bare this dystopian hell we live in. However, I do see the light at the end of tunnel where I break free just like Walt. I hope I'd reach there soon. My greatest appreciation to everyone who made this movie happen because it is a great message that many won't get to hear because it is not for everyone, that is how special things are.
Good luck and I will see at the finish line.
I love that this movie has a low score from critics. It perfectly fits the theme of Walter's life and proves the merit of doing things despite what critics, your boss, or anyone else might tell you.
Just watched this movie today...One of the best movies I have ever seen.Truly life changing.
Movie makes me miss my Dad. He loved this movie.
I bet your dad was a great man
This movie saved my life. This is my ultimate comfort movie. Brings me to tears every time. Everything will be ok. Just move in love.
The Reason why I love this Film so much is, that it inspires me so much in many different ways. I love to see how he’s just bored and annoyed by his work and the people that are around him. Then when he decides to set himself a goal, he starts getting a more positive person and life. I’m 17 years old and there are moments where I stress myself so much with things that are unnecessary. My goal for the future is to just enjoy life more and to be more relaxed even if there are negative situations. I think this helps you a lot in life.
Uno dei più bei film che ho mai visto. Fantastica fotografia, fantastica musica, un film poetico. Emozionante.

I havent spended much with my dad, i met him when i was 13 (im 17 now), he didnt abandon me or anythinb similar, he spen all that time working, missin 40 something years of his life, to bring my 3 older brothers and me now the best life he can, even after the hospital he worked at fired him he started to be a taximan so he could still mantain me and my mother. I may not know him and he may not know me as one could expect from a son or father, but i still appreciate everything he has done and sacrificed. This movie when it premiered my dad took me to cinemas to watch it, is one of the few memories i have of sharing a moment with him. And after we went out of the cinema he told me to not do what he did, to not waste my time in a work i didnt like, but do things before is to late and age caughts up to me. This movie deserves way more love and appreciation for teaching us to live our lives, have and adventure, do something more than just an office job.
Saw this when it came out, 5 years ago. Didn’t really understand it as I was 14. Decided to buy it and watch it again since I’m getting hit by life now. Going to school and working just to fit into society.Thank you Stiller. You have opened my mind up that everything is out there. I needed this. Hope everyone does what they want to do and not get stuck.
I remember watching this film when it came out and it inspired me to get into photography. 7 years later I was one of the top three students to be nominated for New Zealand student photographer of the year. I'm so grateful that this movie inspired to do something with my life and so I Thank you Mr Mitty !!
It teaches to pause and reflect on our daily lives
This movie introduced me to David Bowie now every year on the anniversary of his death I watch this movie
One of my favorite films and one of my favorite OSTs
This movie is what rekindled my deep love for adventure and while I can't afford it my long term goal is to get a camper van and make it my home and travel
It's not about what we become, nor is it about the people we impact.
It'll never be about how the world once knew us or saw us, it's about how we value ourselves...
It's much harder to commit or to love when you don't know how to Love anything, so you have to start with one place: yourself.
Our value, self worth should never be extrinsically based, our value will never be worth everything or captured in someone else's eyes. The meaning of life lies within ourselves and its essence is something we choose to carry.
The Road we walk on, the path we carry through, the mist between us that is in our way, whether by ourselves, or with others that walk is A True Journey to self-discovery.

This Old Guy loves this! A movie with every thing in my life down to the tears in the end! Priceless
One of the best songs I've ever heard and one of the best movies I've ever seen ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
Apologies which is the ticket of this movie?
Still remember the time when i left India quitting my job and moving to Canada. All you gotta take is a leap of faith and step into the unknown.
This movie motivated me for that move. Thank you for such a masterpiece!
Hey Paanshul, Would love to know how you moved to Canada ? Did you took admissions for Masters ? I am from India and looking to move to Canada as well.
I was in high school when this movie released, I remember watching a trailer for it as an ad on RUclips and honestly I fell in love with the premise. After things happened to be nearing the end of my high school days; this movie was my comfort. The music in it was amazing such as monsters and men as José Gonzalez and the movie itself showed e what I can do with my life if I believed in myself and the potential the world can hold. I truly want to travel someday. To enjoy the simplicity of life. To learn new things. To say I’ve experienced a thoughtful and wonderful life. I’m only 20 and I still have a long journey ahead of me and I will not deny this movie has inspired me.
GhOsTlY_SOULS hope you get to do all those things!
Im a pretty complex guy, I suffered a lot for a lot of things that werent my fault, nowadays im happy, I travel, I enjoy my Life, this movie os about That, about having thé courage tu keep fighting, to keep going, ive cryied a lot whatching this, from the soundtracks to the movie, its a materpiece!
Thanks Ben Stiller
6 years ago I discovered a lot of interesting things through this movie. Including this amazing Band and song.
love the progression, a sense of wonder and curiosity that is created in this uplifting and joyful song
I just found this song again, in Sweet Tooth. Damn, I can't stop crying. For the longest time of my life holding it in, now crying and I love it.
This movie motivated me to continue living and not give up on life... Everything is going to be fine; belive, respect, and trust in the way that your intuiton makes.
I don't know why but this movie always brings a smile. Watched a number of times and started giving priorities to my dreams.
You search and look everywhere to find something, but the result is always yourself.
This movie changed my life. Fovever one of my favorites.
One of my all times favorite movies .. the soundtrack is incredible
Ben Stiller's best movie ever.
