Tim Naughton, a lovable supporting character, makes this utterly clear as he helps Mitty “beef up” his online profile on the popular dating site, e-Harmony. In a society where expectations are high, it takes a lot of work to achieve goals worthy of recognition. His daydreams, though extreme, reveal his deep desire to seek out adventure, heroism, and world travels. To many viewers Mitty is remarkably relatable, as most people in today’s world live mundane lives at office jobs similar to that of Walter Mitty. After losing an important photo for the magazine’s final cover, Walter must embark on an incredible journey to track it down, while attempting to catch the eye of his love interest and co-worker, Cheryl Melhoff. From the outside, Mitty’s life seems deeply ordinary and, frankly, rather boring, but his tendency to get lost in fantastical daydreams show a side of him not yet apparent to the outside world. Directed by and starring Ben Stiller, the tale follows the life of a man named Walter Mitty as he struggles with the possibility of losing his job as the negative assets manager for Time magazine.

Based on the 1939 short-story by James Thurber, The Secret Life of Walter Mitty was brought to life on screen in 2013.
