I have too admit that at first the movie bored me.
But as I went through the movie it became more interesting and I was really curious to see whether Schmidt can prevent the wedding or not.
Secondly, I kept asking what the movie is trying to say and here is what I found: Warren asked himself whether he had a positive effect on life and the earth and at the end he got a letter from the six-year-old African boy (Ndugu), whom he have never met and his painting that they were holding hands. Ndugu was happy to have Schmidt.This movie was really boring and I think that Schmidt just wanted to somehow learn more about his life.he really talked weird and it just made me frustrated.
It is so sad and frustrating to look back and find that we have been totally unaware of those important things that we should consider and take care of. Schmitt realized that he had been so much busy with his works that was near totally unaware of his beloved wife and daughter. He also found that how new generation may totally be in difference with their previous generation and behave differently and believe in new methods even in running a business.
Thank you for your comments on the film, About Schmidt.
