Last Holiday (2006)

 

 

 

     After I entered the university, I have always thought about my dream and future. Now, my dream job is to become a public official because I wish to have just stable and static job. But actually, I did not have enough time deciding on my career and what my real dream is. When I was a high school student, I just studied for the college admisson, not for my dream. Because admissions policies of many colleges in Korea are rather difficult and complex, most of students fierecely compete to enter the university which each student want to go. Like many students, I have just studied without specific dream!

 

     Meanwhile, I was recommended to watch this movie by one of my friends. While I watched this movie, I asked myself some questions about my dream and future again and again. - What kind of job is I really want to do?, Can I enjoy the job later? The reason why I asked myself these questions is that this movie is about life and future!

 

     The main character in this movie is Georgia who is worker in the cookware department at Department store. She lives an ordinary life and sometimes writes her dreams down in a journal. Its name is 'Possibilies', which is similar to 'Bucket list'. In this journal, there are many of her wishes

such as eating Didie's dishes, marrying Sean Williams who is her coworker. Then one day, she goes to the hospital because of her a bump on her head, but she becomes to hear a terrible result! The docter says she had fatal brain tumors. She can't believe it, so she bemoans her unlucky fate with crying. Later, she decides that she will live luxurious and elegant life for the remainder of her life.

    

She quits her job and draws all money from the bank, and then she leaves New Orleans for her real dream. She lives luxurious life from that time. During her flight, she travels first class. Then. she stays at the one of the most finest hotels and eats very expensive dishes - even Didie's dishes! She plays sport what she likes. She also spend her last days with her lover, Sean. I was impressed by her optimism and confidence even though she can live just four weeks. And I considered about my life sincerely - I only live once, but I have never really enjoyed my life. Actually, I want to do many things in the remainder of my life; espically, a journey around the world and adventures that I have never experienced. You will think about these things after you watch this movie, like me. So I really want to recommend this movie. I am so sure that this movie will be a energizer for your lethargic and boring life. I want to give this movie two thumbs up!
