My wife and I took our honeymoon in Iceland and we found that road. We aren't skaters, so we just drove down. It's in a particularly quiet and remote part of the island, but even in our rental car it was a surprisingly thrilling descent -- more so than you might think from the movie. Icelandic roads are gorgeously smooth and pristine, but they're also unforgivingly narrow, so you need to stay sharp at all times.

When my now husband and I first met 10 years go at 19 we went to see this movie for our first date. It really set the stage for our relationship and I still think about it often. When I need to be reminded about what is important in life I will listen to “Quintessence” from the soundtrack and think back to when we were broke and aimless and only had each other. The future was scary and we didn’t know if we would be together for very long. Now we live in our house we built together with our own four hands and I turn 30 next week. Life is so much better than I thought it would be back then, all because of him. The first movie we watched on our thrifted couch in our empty living room the night we moved in was “The Secret Life of Walter Mitty”.

My grandparents told us all at their 50th ani that it's not all fun and games and sometimes you have to fight for the marriage even yourself. Like all good things it takes work to get there. When things get hard it all becomes even more important, the words you speak during the good/sweet times. I don't think it's like this for everyone but I just know that it can be. As they say "life is a struggle".

In the end credits, which are insanely long and contain things such as "lead shark technician" and "assistant shark technicians", there is a message: "This movie has helped to support around 15,000 jobs and involved thousands of hours of hard work to make." At that point it did make me cry. I really do appreciate Ben Stiller a lot, he’s an incredible director who knows who to ask for photography and takes the time to develop and produce these crazy-assed stories. You can see from every film he makes all the care that is put in the craft and the people involved with it. You can feel it back from Zoolander up until Severance. "Beautiful things don’t attract attention on themselves", that’s quite how I feel about his work in general. His films always manage to earn the affection of the public through a lot of work, and somehow always feel modest and fresh even with multimillion budget.

Ben Stiller is an interesting film creative... he is most well known for the comedies (often "cheap" productions) that he stars in, but then turns around and makes underrated movies like Walter Mitty.

This movie, is what made me fall in love with movies in a completely new way. Suddenly I stopped just consuming movie after movie, show after show, and started to really appreciate people who take their time and energy to make something as powerful as a "simple" movie...

Yes, I was also quite disappointed that the critics were so low, I also think its a really great movie that screams out to love life. Loved the landscapes (been there myself, looks exactly like in the movie, better of course) loved the music. I am not at all a Ben Stiller fan, did not like his other movies much...so me loving that movie was a suprise for me.

[@endlessstudent3512]

There was one aspect of the movie that made me very sad though. During that scene when he played soccer with those guys. I thought, well if I was there...as a woman, they would not have included me, I would maybe not even be allowed to play, I would probably even be in danger from them. For us women, going full out to live and relish life like that is always dampened, unfortunately by men. And yes, as a woman, I would love to travel to other countries, meet people and have adventures.

[@GrandisSilva]

@@endlessstudent3512you can do it! I'm a woman and have had numerous solo holidays to other countries. For me it's always been about doing lots of research and planning first.

I try to avoid having too many unknowns when I arrive, so I'm less vulnerable. You work out what is most important to you to feel safe and confident, and do that first. 👍

[@christopherlouis1444]

This movie has always been special to me. Over ten years ago my family was going to see frozen in theaters with my kid cousin. As they walked into the theater my dad tapped me on the shoulder and said lets go see this instead. After the movie my dad told me that his mom had the exact same job as Walter Mitty has in the movie, a photo developer at Life magazine(when it was still around). At a bookstore I found a big anthology collection of the photos of LIFE magazine, after she passed in 2018 I found myself looking through those old photos everything from nature to politics to weird art pieces and wondering if they'd ever been the ones that crossed my grandmothers desk. If she'd been one of the first ones to ever see these pieces of history. I am glad to see this movie getting some love, everytime I remember it I can't help but feel that connection to that part of my family. Thanks for the video, I got chills in that into!

[@gabriellevautour23]

[@BenM.Davies]

The entire "ghost cat" conversation in the film hit me. I was 16 at the time and had hit a crossroads in my life, and I could feel the pull of taking photos of everything and everyone at all times, living my life for the camera, and then Sean Penn's line of "Sometimes I don't take it, it's just for me" hit me. I remember the first time I had a moment just for me, I wanted to take a photo, but I didn't. I've never forgotten that view, I could draw it from memory I loved it so much.

[@RSpracticalshooting]

that line is why i don't bother with photos or videos at concerts and only take photos sparingly when i'm on vacation. it's better to live in the moment then waste it trying to relive it later.

When I was 13 I saw this movie with some friends, and I walked out the theater amazed. I was a kid with undiagnosed ADHD, depression, and anxiety. Not only was it beautiful, it spoke to me on a very deep and emotional level. Years later, I would occasionally bring it up in conversation and look it up online. Either way, the conversations would tend to veer in the direction of people just shrugging their shoulders saying "it looked neat," but nothing ever deeper than that. Recently, I was sitting at a friend's fire pit and her brother asked me what my favorite movie was. A fairly loaded question, but after a moment and years of saying The Dark Knight or Iron Man or other movies I thought I was supposed to answer, I simply stated The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. This video was incredibly validating to both me now, and the 13 year old who came out of that theater having felt like he could do anything. Cheers!

[@MightyAtom1952]

This movie quite literally changed my life. After watching it I got the courage to apply for a job in a country where I could not speak the language nor read the alphabet (it is Cyrillic and no it is not Russia). From my small town, I had never even travelled outside my state, to a whole different continent. It was a big adventure and I loved my time living in that country 😊

I was always sceptical of Ben Stiller until I saw this movie. That's when I realized that he was an amazing actor, just because he could depict this flawed, worried, sensible person who just tried......to do something different with his life. He took a chance this one time and it changed everything. This is actually one of my favorite movies from a spiritual standpoint because it gives hope that even if you're stuck in a seemingly unmovable position, your choices can move you places you couldn't even imagine. The most grabbing parts is when Walter stops and notices things, thinking it through, just like we do. Sometimes you suddenly notice something that grabs you, and it hits you deep and hard, leading to a realization you knew you were looking for but couldn't form a solid understanding or standpoint about. The realization is the relatable movement, because once you've seen the movie you know that you hold the same power as Walter did. You are the deciding factor in your life.

Back in 2013 I had just graduated high school and had NO idea what I was going to do with my life. I had spent most of my teen years day dreaming about hopping on a plane after graduation to set off on a life-shaping adventure, yet when the time came… I stayed in my hometown, too scared to take the leap. Then I saw this movie and, after adding it to my favorite movie list, immediately started planning. The next year I moved across the globe alone and spent 4 years earning a degree, making friends, falling in love, and making the most of every moment. Now I’m back in my hometown, working a job I absolutely love and spending my days with my beloved partner I met while living abroad all those years ago. Taking the leap may seem scary, but keeping your dreams inside your head and never letting yourself meet your true potential is even scarier! Give yourself a chance to experience life and all it has to offer!!

[@skrufff]

Seeing people still talking about Walter Mitty brings me so much joy. This movie genuinely changed my life, and I show it off with pride to anyone I care about. The film is so in love with the magic of human connection. I resonate with Walter because I've always had trouble with connection, like I've had that moment at the beginning where he needs to find the courage to hit like on someone on a dating app. Contrasting with his growth at the end, and his resume now filled with adventure, is what I've begun to strive for before I die. I absolutely adore this movie and I hope Stiller wasn't too hurt by the moronic critics when it came out, and now understands how much of an iconic, timeless piece of important filmmaking he created. I'm glad that now people are giving it a chance and seeing its true beauty and worthwhile lesson.

I remember it as one of the most pure cinematic experiences I'd had in a long time. No BIG BLOCKBUSTER ENERGY, no drive for a sequel or... any of that. It wasn't trying to redefine or BE anything. It was just incredible storytelling. It was taking us on a journey within a person - a journey we all are designed to take, but sometimes are afraid to risk for. It was a work where you weren't sure what to expect going in (I - like many - hadn't heard of the original), but it took you on such a profound process and evolution and didn't rush or apologize for any of it along the way. I hadn't thought about the movie in a long time, and I'm very grateful to have been reminded of it.

[@Neumonics429]

I love how in this film Walter and Shawn Penn's character idolize each other for the exact opposite reasons. Walter wishes he could be Shawn Penn's character, and Shawn Penn idolizes the small moments. They both want what the other has. Its just an interesting detail that this action star and explorer just wants to have some coffee and talk with people every once in a while.

[@Mart-B]

As an Irishman I'm contractually obliged to point out that Penn's first name is spelled the Irish way, Sean

[@ElMeach]

I don't think Sean idolize Walter that much. It is more like he has learnt to value all the small details and he knows half his work has been a success thanks to Walter being his distant partner all this time. That's why that photo is so important to his character, maybe not that much for everyone else all this years but to him photographing Walter's dedication to both of their work was beautiful to him. Walter has been the perfect partner and friend through their shared work and only Sean's character was being recognized and idolized by everybody else.

i remember coming out of the movie theatre with my whole family and we were all besotted by this film. it really perfectly captured that feeling of going somewhere new for the first time, trying something outside your comfort zone, and being rewarded with this amazing feeling when it all works out and you get this sense of wonder and accomplishment. like, yeah.....i did that!

I spent five years dreaming about climbing the Matterhorn, looking at pictures, route details, gear lists, endless videos about the climb, and hours and hours of nights visualizing the climb as I went to sleep. This summer I finally saved up enough money and had enough experience to go to Switzerland to attempt it. This movie perfectly captures the feelings I experienced when I finally stood on the top and when I sat on my plane back home. 10/10

Stop. this is my favorite comfort movie. This movie took me on a journey and makes me feel warm inside.

I wish i could meet ben stiller, hold him by the shoulders and tell him he did a damn good job. Thank you for talking about this movie and bringing attention to it.

The Secret Life of Walter Mitty (2013) is one of my top 10 favs of the 2010s and has been unjustly underrated imo. Thank you for highlighting this extraordinary film.

[@morenicginiusthegreat4227]

I paused this video at 1:58, and I am not going to return until I have seen The Secret Life of Walter Mitty. Edit: This is Major Tom to ground control… I watched it. It’s an awesome, uplifting experience. Gorgeous cinematography, great performances, an inspiring and beautiful message, and great direction define this film. The helicopter scene is incredible. That being said, I think the dialogue can be a on the nose, and I find the character work to be a bit thin. Walter’s arc is still good, it’s just that the people around him, while somewhat fleshed out, aren’t super deep. Additionally, I don’t think the movie addresses the class implications of its theme. Not everyone has the means to travel the world like Walter. However, interpreting the film as advocating everyone travel the world to find adventure is overly literal, and I believe it simply wants people to follow their dreams. Still, not everyone can follow their dreams, even if they’re as inexpensive as eating toast with jam (this is a Chainsaw Man reference). I do have enough faith in the film to believe that if it were to discuss its class implications, it would bemoan the fact that many people are trapped by poverty in miserable lives. I give it an 8/10. I must reiterate that the helicopter scene is awesome. It’s inspiring and beautiful; such a great character moment that really encapsulates the heartwarming possibility that you can realize your dreams if you choose to do so. Edit: Having finished the video, I think my understanding of the film is incomplete, partially due to my tiredness while viewing it.

This movie, to me, is about awakening. It's about connecting to each moment free from judgement and just experiencing it then not clinging to it as it passes and the next moments arrive.

thank you for covering this gem! this is one of my all time favorite movies. i remember watching it in college, so hungry for adventure. then i paused my master's degree to go on a 2 year adventure in SE Asia where i distinctly remember watching the sunrise on a once-ever-two-week ferry ride to a remote island, eating cup noodles with my local friends. and it was a distinct moment where i thought "wow, this is one of those moments in life i'll never forget. going to a place where literally less than .01% of people in the world will ever see." and it's true, i do always remember that moment. but what stayed with me from this movie is that i did come home from my grand adventure. i got married. i have a very normal/mundane life with two beautiful children. and i've never been more happy or more fulfilled

I've talked to so many people who love this movie, people who have no interest in cinema, or who only like arthouse movies, people from different backgrounds with different tastes. It's so incredibly human and relatable to everyone. It's artistic but also accessible because it uses film and music to bring a universal human emotion to life in ways that are both instantly recognizable and completely novel. It's a modern masterpiece.

[@Fiola-6]

I absolutely love this movie. There is so much meaning behind it. For some reason, my favorite scene is by the end when Walter is having coffee and a cinnabun with Tod. It is not usual you can trust on the kindness of a stranger, but when it happens it is really beautiful.

[@dhintonbeales]

I really like this movie (incredible soundtrack as well!), but for me that scene is one that takes me out of the beauty of that moment because of the seemingly pointless, in-your-face product placement. I'd be interested to hear whether Danny sees the rampant commercialisation (eHarmony, Papa John's, LIFE, Cinnabon all have major plot moments linked to them - even Cheryl's son's skateboard is a FLIP one) as part of the emotional journey. Is there a storytelling aspect behind making these products so much a part of the narrative? The LIFE magazine angle feels justifiable and led to me trying to make some similar connections during my watch of the movie, but apart from the FLIP skateboard being swapped for a longboard with the Icelandic word for 'life (“Lífið”) written on it and a seemingly throwaway early gag about working for Papa John's just after losing your own father I can't really find a justification. I feel there is a lot of meaning to be found in this film (I love the red pill / blue pill rental car choice with Walter heading down the rabbit hole as a minor moment). However, I felt the scene with Todd (from eHarmony) was cheapened with the Cinnabon insertion that just felt like a cheap cash grab. If anyone has a working theory that can justify the product placement in a film that seems so careful with what it wants to say then I'd love to hear it.

[@Fiola-6]

@@dhintonbeales Personally, I don't think having them eating a random pastry would make the moment any more significant. I did actually overlook the actual cinnabon, because they are ridiculously overpriced and sickening sweet. I don't care at all about brands, so product placement don't really bother me. On the other hand, if those brands payed so I could see Iceland I thank them.

[@dhintonbeales]

@@Fiola-6 Fair enough. I'm not particularly into brands myself either, and I've never had or even seen a Cinnabon, so it was a random pastry to me. In fact, living in Europe, I think this film would have been the first time I ever heard the word. Having rewatched the scene on KZbin (which isn't the best way to do it as this comes at a section where the movie has put the watcher in a certain emotional state that I wasn't in) it might have felt jarring to me at the time as Todd literally asks Walter how the Cinnabon tastes. Now it seems to me that Walter saying "It's great" is actually politeness as he's just picking at it. This different reading suggests the highly processed Cinnabon offers nothing to Walter but he still manintains his decency at his core and wouldn't be rude about it to Todd. I didn't intend my first response to detract from anyone's love of this scene or the movie. I wanted to highlight a part I felt I didn't understand. Thanks for going to bat for this amazing film @Fiola-6.

[@RogueEkko9]

This film was what got me into being a Film Major in College. It was and will forever be my number one inspiration as a film, not because it's especially smart or stunning as a story, but because of the care and integrity the film maintains as a vessel for it's theme. Every frame is planned out; every music choice, all the character interactions and the way the humor fits into the narrative. Even the diversity in which we see the world through Walters eyes, versus reality, allows us to feel as if we are engaging with the story. The rigid and stuck-up static grey world that Walter believes is reality, which slowly morphs into a fluid and moving/breathing world as he gets more comfortable with himself. It points to the fact that we are searching for that Ghost Cat ourselves, only to find that the line, "Beautiful things don't ask for attention," is suddenly all the more apparent. All the more relatable. The moment we take to admire the beauty of the world and its flaws, we stop chasing the expectations that cause us to only see beauty as something to exploit or explain. I end with this... it's my favorite film because of it's profound-ness... and not because I like to hate on critics... haha

I had heard about this movie, but didn't catch it in the theater. I was working out of state a lot and was flying twice a week for my job. I decided to catch this movie on a flight home. It was a particularly hard week, I felt like I was missing my family, I wasn't loving my job at the time and everything seemed out of my control. I flicked this on, and was transported. Walter, in a lot of ways, was living what I was feeling every day, I connected with it, deeply. By the end of the show, I had forgotten I was even on a plane watching a little 6" screen. With tears streaming down my cheeks as the credits rolled, I was suddenly aware of where I was. The guy next to me had been watching me, watch the movie and leaned over at its conclusion and said "I felt the EXACT SAME WAY when I first watched that movie" then he smiled at me I like was now part of some club. Now, I have shared it with my friends and family and watch it at least once a year, just to remind me what the purpose of life really is. Thank you for making this video Danny! This movie deserves it.

[@arthurmertens8671]

I watched this movie as a young kid when my parents took me to the cinema. Idk how long it has been since it came out, but I still think about it. I have never fully considered it my favourite movie ever, I have never even rewatched it. It is however perhaps the only movie that I think about every 4 months. When it comes to the fantastical scenes of "superhero" action, I don't remember a single one. Instead, I remember the main character asking the photographer if he is gonna take the photo, and the response that he gets. I remember wondering if him on jumping on the helicopter was real or another daydream. As was said in the video dismissing or degrading those extravagant scenes misses the entire point. As I have grown older the message I took away from it is to keep being a kid and having those daydreams, and occasionally living them. Cause that is what this movie is in my mind, a cautionary tale.

I didn't give this one a chance when it was released, partly because its namesake short story by James Thurber was part of my school curriculum in India while growing up, and partly because when it released I was in college exploring other stuff and it sort of flew under the radar. Over the years, it became clear that the movie had a growing number of fans, despite the initial tepidity from these 'critics', but now you've finally convinced me to give it a chance.

[@PuffinPass]

This movie sits in that small list of movies I will always enjoy no matter how many times I watch it. The photography in it is on a level we don't usually get from movies, usually we get tight cropped shots of the actors and rarely the wide pan shots of the environment around them making the actor/character the smallest part of the scene. The part where he was longboarding down the mountain you can see the character really open up and realize that he is taking part in an adventure he could only dream about mere days ago. From there it simply continues and grows, but as always the reality of the adventure never really strikes until he looks back at the things he has done and realizes he is no longer the person he once was, he is filled with confidence and experience, you can see him make use of it during the last interaction with the man in charge of shutting down the offices when he hands him the "quintessence of life" negative. Also I want to say that whoever did the titling at the beginning of the movie really earned their paycheck. The way they incorporated the titles into the surrounding environment is some of the best title work I have seen in a movie.

Rarely do you watch a film and remember the feeling it gave you the first time you saw it. I can still remember the awe from this movie. The reveal of THE photo that Sean said was his best work. Walter ended up going on these adventures trying to track down Sean after fantasizing about being some one like Sean. One can get lost and lose sight of the things right in front of them that they can do and be apart of when they daydream of the fantastical. Sean's photo, to me at least, was about what Walter thought was the mundane was inspiring to Sean. A beauty in the ordinary day to day life. The significance of the everyday moments that most of us miss out on because we are so busy trying to "capture" that fantastical moment or live life to the furthest extent. "Sometimes I don't. If I like a moment, for me, personally, I don't like to have the distraction of the camera. I just want to stay in it." Yeah the plot of the movie shows the growth of Walter coming out of his shell and no longer living in his mind, but actually LIVING life. But after all those adventures what is it really about? The character doesn't continue on these grand adventures. He learns that every day is an adventure to be a part of. To be present. To, as Sean says, "Stay in it."

This video essay reminds me just how special this movie is. Thank you for articulating its beautiful craft, thoughtful production, and powerful message. I watch a lot of movies and The Secret Life of Walter Mitty is perhaps the most polarizing and underrated film I have ever seen. Underrated because, even on a purely technical level, the film is a masterpiece-to say nothing of its heartfelt message. It tells me a lot about someone if they've seen this film and didn't understand it. And the few times I have been surprised at someone who says they didn't think it was that good when they first saw it when it came out, their perspective on the film is completely changed after re-watching it. Not to be too snobby, but I think that understanding this film requires a certain level of emotional maturity that not everyone possesses. Or perhaps it is a film that only the depressed can resonate with. Either way, I have been able to convince a few people who I think would get it to reconsider this film, and their opinions have always been completely transformed. Thank you so much for sharing this review with us.
