    the secret life of walter mitty is actually a short story written in the 1930s with its plot based on the captivating power of maladaptive daydreams.

    stiller’s film, fine though it was, wasn’t even hollywood’s first adaptation of the story.

    sorry, OP, but to call a walter mitty story one about travelling the world to find oneself is to call star wars a movie about an interstellar truck driver and his huge dog.
