Ian Lightfoot
Ian has a kind, caring personality where he loves both his mother and brother. However,
as a result of not knowing his father at a young age, Ian developed an awkward
personality where he was afraid to try almost everything. This led Ian to be unconfident
in his capabilities to do anything, despite him striving to be like his father whom he
admired so much.
After the brothers' adventure, Ian became more confident and social where he made
new friends, accepted his mother's new boyfriend (who he despised in the beginning)
and spent more time with his older brother.

5. what you learn from the movie (the moral values, the new vocabulary)
Most people refuse to step out of their comfort zones due to the fear of uncertainty –
just like the lead, Ian Lightfoot. He tends to overthink a lot, and ends up not
accomplishing anything on his “list” because of it. Soon he realizes that he doesn’t
actually have to risk anything big or make a grand gesture to tick anything off of his list.
He just let things go with the flow and ended up having an adventure of a lifetime.
Planning ahead does not necessarily mean things will become successful. Sometimes,
we just need to loosen up a bit and take a breather
1. You have to move on sometime.
Losing a loved one is difficult. Most of the time, Ian felt confused about who he is or
what he would become. He felt like there was a huge part of him missing because his
dad passed away when he was born and he never met him. Healing is a long process,
but we have to move on eventually. We just need to surround ourselves with people
who can understand our grievances and give us the space that we need to recover
“Now you know the worst that could happen so there’s nothing to be scared of.” This is
a great technique to move from fear: imagine the worst possible thing that can happen
and prepare for that, but keep moving forward
