"The Bucket List" (Andrea Minango)

I think I identify with Edward Cole because I think we walk through life thinking about ourselves, our problems, we are the center of our lives , we are selfish people who don’t think about the problems of other people until something like this happens us and it’s when we realize the reality of what really is living someone else. It's like living in our own little world and suddenly, one day something big happens us that changes our lives and makes us react and realize what we are doing. Life always gives us lessons to not spend much of it asleep and really enjoy. To think of someone else besides us and find out that they really can make us happy is seeing someone else happy and can even be part of that happiness is because we could do for people, " give joy to another."

Edward Cole isn't someone who can show their feelings easily, "the ability to love is not his strong point".

Edward Cole is sometimes a very crazy person, he was always too busy making money and building an empire to think about what could be its deepest needs. When Carter Chambers met taught him several things and he began to open to talk about sensitive situations that he preferred not to talk. Carter and Edward ended up being very good friends and I think everyone learned a lot from each other about everything out of their monotonous lives to really start enjoying the life they had. Edward did not live much having traveled complying with the "bucket list" but before he died left an indelible memory in Carter. So Edward Carter taught how important family ties and truly feel loved by someone, and taught him to have faith and even Edward learned to be more generous. On the other hand Edward Carter taught him to appreciate what he had, he showed what he thought he wanted and realized that what we had was what really made ​​him happy.

At the end Edward said, "I was a rich, unpleasant, selfish jerk, and this wise, nice man taught me to feel hope and love." I think it summarize the entire movie, because the lives of both changed for them to enjoy until his last moments.
