Week 4: The secret of Walter Mitty.

The secret life of Walter Mitty tells a warm story, Walter. Miti, a film washing manager who has worked in Life magazine for 16 years, is introverted and unable to even talk to his favorite colleague Sheryl. As a bystander, he often “dreams” as a day hero. Until one day the company was acquired and the magazine needed to do the cover of the last issue, and the key to its success was to find a roll of film from the wild photographer Sean, Walter finally approached Sheryl, and was encouraged by her and her mother on a real adventure, the ice fields, the sea, the Himalayas… Walter’s daydreams are far less magnificent than reality.

I divided the story line into eight parts:
(1)The hero is introverted and a dreamer. He does not dare to take the first step to treat the beloved person. Life is boring and boring.
(2) The hero learns that the company is going bankrupt, so he will wash the cover photos of the magazine for the last time.
(3) The protagonist discovers that the cover photo of the last magazine was not sent to him by the photographer, afraid that the leader scolding scold.
(4) The hero has no choice but to look for a photographer.
(5) Along the way through the adventure of the ocean and the volcano, the hero gradually love life.
(6) During the time limit, the hero did not find the photos, was expelled from the company, and gradually passed away from the beloved person.
(7) Finally, the hero finds that the photos are all around him, and the most beautiful photos is himself who loves life.
(8) The hero transcends himself, gets true love, and enjoys life.

I think the prototype of the protagonist is an introverted, timid, content with the status quo, before the start of the movie, he lived the same life every day, not too much social, but he loves his work, every day in the dark room witnessed the birth of every photo, he will do different daydream every day, treat beloved things and people only dare to view, dare not take the first step.
