“My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While everyone else was agin', I was gettin' younger... all alone.” Says the writing Benjamin Button as a young woman in a hospital opens a diary. This quote explains, in full, the story of Benjamin Button in his curious condition.Thus creating the Curious Case of Benjamin Button
The story begins in the room of a Hospital in the beginnings of Hurricane Katrina where an old woman is dying. Her daughter looks upon her when the woman beckons to a trunk in the corner of the hospital room. Inside is a journal, where the story of the life of a man named Benjamin Button is. A man that ages backwards, inside is his story about finding love, life, and the will to find both of these.
Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett star in the heartbreaking story of Benjamin Button. Between the amazing prosthetics and the superb acting, the less than original idea for the movie runs its course as one of the best movies of the year. Despite the less than subtle ways that Daisy (Blanchett) displays to Benjamin
(Pitt) that she loves him and her flamboyant way of living, the love between the two shows better than many movies I have ever seen. They chance love despite Benjamin’s deficiency to age backward, and make it.
Overall, this movie was very well done. It took something that would not normally happen and turned it into a three hour long ride that both entertains and touches. I give this movie 4.5 out of 5 stars for the excellent job.
