Some movies don’t become your favorites because they’re masterpieces, they become your favorites because they arrived at the exact moment you needed them.
For me, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty wasn’t a masterpiece in the traditional sense, but it arrived at a moment in my life when I desperately needed motivation and a reminder to take risks. It wasn’t the flawless storytelling that made it memorable, it was the way it pushed me to rethink my comfort zone. Because of that, it stayed with me far more than many technically ‘better’ films ever did.
