I went and watched The Curious Case of Benjamin Button today starring Brad Pitt as Benjamin Button and Cate Blanchett as Daisy.
"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' adapted from the 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 21st century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Benjamin Button is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.
This film lasts almost 3 hours, but was so interesting it kept my attention all that time. There are some funny moments in this film. This film is a love story that is bittersweet. It is not a film for children though. I give this movie 4 and half tiger paws.
