Well I recently saw "The Bucket List" and I must say that it was an all around great comedy and drama. To put it in a better retrospective it was the best of both.

Well it starts out as Morgan Freeman and Jack Nicholson are both diagnosed with cancer. Now Jack has just had an operation since the cancer advanced so far into his body. So after the first setting of kemo he was told that he had 6 months to live.

On Morgan's side. He was a mechanic and he was a very smart man. He had been married for over 60 years. One day while working on a car he received a phone call from his wife Virginia. He was told that he had to go to the hospital where he met Jack. They became friends and talked most of the day.

After Morgan's character went under kemo he was also told that he had 6 months to live. So one day he was writing on a pad and was making a list of things to do. Of course Jack's character got involved and added some things :P

So they decided to go sky diving, go on a safari, and many other things such as climbing Kilimanjaro.

So near the end Morgan had a heart attack and was taken to the hospital were he had his last operation. Jack's character lived for the remaining 6 months of his life and was buried with his friend.

To quote Morgan's character. "He died on a warm sunny day in May. There wasn't a cloud in the sky. All I know is that he died with his eyes closed and his heart was open."

So they were both taken to Kilmanjaro and there a little stone grave was erected and inside were the ashes of them both. There they were together in life and death.

It really is an interesting movie. It made me cry at the end. I mean it was sad. They had such a great time and then they die because of cancer.

To quote Jack Nicholson Well you tell Dr. Shit for brains that I ain't gonna die!
