Walter Mitty (Ben Stiller) é o responsável pelo departamento de arquivo e revelação de fotografias da tradicional revista Life. Ele é um homem tímido, levando uma vida simples, perdido em seus sonhos. Ao receber um pacote com negativos do importante fotógrafo Sean O'Connell (Sean Penn), ele percebe que está faltando uma foto. O problema é que trata-se justamente da foto escolhida para ser a capa da última edição da revista. É quando, Walter, com o apoio de Cheryl (Kristen Wiig) é obrigado a embarcar em uma verdadeira aventura.
O que você já fez na vida de especial ou de interessante?
A vida secreta de Walter Mitty te faz pensar sobre isso. A classificação do filme pode ser: adorável surpresa... A trilha musical é um convite para o filme, as imagens, as cenas muito bem pensadas, a fotografia é toda incrível e te dá uma vontade louca de viajar; de viver intensamente.
Ground control to Major Tom
Ground control to Major Tom
Take your protein pills and put your helmet on
Ground control to Major Tom
(10, 9, 8, 7)
Commencing countdown, engines on
(6, 5, 4, 3)
Check ignition, and may God's love be with you
(2, 1, lift off)
This is ground control to Major Tom
You've really made the grade
And the papers want to know whose shirts you wear
Now it's time to leave the capsule if you dare
E claro a música digna de Oscar… Dirty Paws… tudo a ver com o filme…
Dirty Paws
Jumping up and down the floor,
My head is an animal.
And once there was an animal,
It had a son that mowed the lawn.
The son was an ok guy,
They had a pet dragonfly.
The dragonfly it ran away
But it came back with a story to say.
Her dirty paws and furry coat,
She ran down the forest slope.
The forest of talking trees,
They used to sing about the birds and the bees.
The bees had declared a war,
The sky wasn't big enough for them all.
The birds, they got help from below,
From dirty paws and the creatures of snow.
And for a while things were cold,
They were scared down in their holes.
The forest that once was green
Was colored black by those killing machines.
But she and her furry friends
Took down the queen bee and her men.
And that's how the story goes,
The story of the beast with those four dirty paws.
