剛看這部戲以為是喜劇路線，加點黑色搞笑方式．然而直到Walter Mitty在喜馬拉雅山上找到尋覓不易的攝影師Sean O'Connell,後者正為攝影一隻花豹而苦守寒地,就在那時候,花豹來了,Sean竟然沒有按下快門,因為,畫面太美了,美得不應該去做出任何動作!

這段話叫我深受感動!

<Review>

Walter’s simple life of zoned-out daydreams gets muddled up quickly when Sean sends a set of negatives out of which one is to be published for the final cover of Life magazine, and that very one is missing. Walter who has never misplaced a negative is now forced to leave his life in the city to find Sean and the missing nagative. His quest follows a series of clues Walter picks up as he closely inspects the set of negatives sent by Sean.

The side stories following him an the eHarmony (an online dating site) rep and the female office colleague he had been crushing on for a while certainly adds to the flavour of the movie.

Also, if you pay close attention you will notice personality transformations in Walter Mitty as he goes from a shy daydreamer to a more self-confident, smiling and satisfied person.
