Abstract: 

Life is precious. What do we live for? Why are we alive? That is a good question. It's often difficult for us to understand the meaning of a person's life. Some people may tell that it can be measured by what a person leave behind after his death. Some believe it can be measured by his faith. Some say it can be measured by love. Other folks assert life has no meaning at all. However, I believe that it can be measured by the people that follow the same way of life. The Bucket List is a film about “calling life, death and dream back to reality”. The most important point in the book is that: life needs thinking and action rather than waiting. Meanwhile, life and death are so far away from us sometimes, but they are also so close. If you do have a dream, make sure you will not hesitate to pursue it and never regret for what you have done, for life should be defined by yourself.

摘  要:  

生命是宝贵的。活着为什么，又为什么活着？人生的意义是什么？答案众说纷纭。有人说要看他留下了什么，有人认为要看他的信仰，有人说要用爱来评判，还有人说人生根本就毫无意义。我觉得可以从那些以你为镜的人身上看到你人生的意义。《遗愿清单》是一部关于呼唤“生命，死亡，理想”回归现实的电影。它告诉我们最重要的一点就是：生命需要思考与行动，而不是等待。生与死是这么远，那么近。有梦就要追，莫悔。因为生命需要自己定义。

1. Introduction to The Bucket List
The movie The Bucket List is an American film directed by Rob Rainer and starred by the black and white academy award winning actors - Jack Nicholson and Morgan Freeman. The film was released in the United States in 2007, although in the eyes of critics, it had drawn heavy criticism, but it was also warmly welcomed by the audience all over the world. The film mainly tells us about a story of two main characters who have a terminal cancer and how they face the “death” that the cancer will bring to them, as well as how they spend the rest of their precious time. The two characters’ attitudes toward death, life, dream and the ways they go through their last time are touching and impressive, and all of these makes us think deeply.
The bucket list refers to a list contains a list of things we want to do in our lives before we kick the bucket.
