A few years ago the movie The Bucket List came out which starred Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. I thought the movie was slow to start but picked up in the end. I liked the movie in which two strangers from totally different backgrounds became good friends in a short amount of time.
Both men meet for the first time in the hospital after both have been diagnosed with terminal lung cancer and are housed in the same room as roommates. During their time in the hospital, they find common ground. Morgan Freeman character (Carter) begins writing a “bucket list”, or things to do before he dies. After hearing he has less than a year to live, Carter discards the list. The next morning Jack Nicholson character (Edward) find the list and urges Carter to do everything on the list by offering to pay everything for both of them. Carter agrees and they begin their around-the-world vacation. They go skydiving, 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, Great Pyramid, attend a lion safari in Tanzania, and visit the base of Mt. Everest in Nepal.
