The movie 'Bucket List,' reminds us to live life to the fullest.
Jack Nickolson, Edward (a rich man) meets Carter, (an auto mechanic), Morgan Freeman, when they are in the hospital for cancer treatments.
They live different lifestyles, yet, become friends when they bond because of their common terminal illness.
While waiting for the results of his last cancer treatment, Carter writes a 'bucket list,' of things to do before he, 'kicks the bucket,' (i.
e.
dies) a phrase defined in Grose's Dictionary of the Vulgar Tongue 1785.
After being informed he has less than a year to live, Carter wads the list and tosses it on the floor.
Edward finds it and urges Carter to do everything on the list and offers to finance an around the world trip.
Carter agrees, despite the protest of his wife, Virginia, Beverly Todd.
