The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Benjamin Button: Along the way you bump into people who make a dent on your life. Some people get struck by lightning. Some are born to sit by a river. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim the English Channel. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people can dance.

 

The Curious Case of Ben trailer

You never know what's comin' for ya.

"I was born under unusual circumstances."

I have never thought that I would love this movie and I really do. Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett made a lovely couple. It's a very touching love story with a lot of truths and realities/ironies of lives. It's also a heavy movie which makes you think. I especially like the scenes where Benjamin met his real father in a whore house and then some years later his father told him who he was because he's dying. It's also very touching when Benjamin came back to Daisy with a teenage look and found that Daisy had married. The markup and special effect are amazing too. We really have some very good movies this CNY!
