Synopsis

Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button springs into being as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home and ages in reverse. Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flits in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer. Though he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.

NikkoFranco If you loved F.Scott Fitzgerald , then you will love this film. This is because the portrayal from the book to film is excellent. It has wonderful cinematography and special effects, moreover, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett have galactic chemistry on screen . What is of prime interest to viewers is the reversed-aging process of Benjamin , who was born old and hideous and was dumped by his rich father at an orphanage where the kind lady raised him as his own. He has seen the elderly die , heard them tell out of this world stories, until slowly it became evident that Benjamin Button is the opposite of all of us- he gets younger literally as time goes by. Nowadays I always hear men when complimented on their new haircut or after shaving, " I am Benjamin Button " , the common phrase that is born out of this excellent , heartbreaking movie.
kyoubinaru-672-920956 It's not a movie around a central conflict that is resolved. It's a movie about a life lived. The emotional journey that takes when you live a life. It's just great!
cinemajesty Movie Review: "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" (2008)Presumingly reveived somewhere in 1920s as magical short story by exceptional writer F. Scott Fitzgerald (1896-1940) then in highly-detailed work adapted by screenwriter Eric Roth with regard to David Fincher directing, attracting Cate Blanchett as Daisy and Brad Pitt as Benjamin, the man, who gets cursed by his father of aging younger from old child man at a lovely African-American-lady-led senior home to have the time of his life as a boatsman and first love encountering character of Elizabeth, portrayed with grace and midnight-splendors at an abandoned hotel's kitchen in order to teach the ways of love to be with his beloved "Daisy" at the high-pitching mid-ages in Benjamin's lively years of the 40s.Technical motion-capturing achievement put actor Brad Pitt in the state of being able to play all ages within Benjamin Button's journey, which shares visual splendor ingnited in a digital as 35mm filmstock capturing mix by cinematographer Claudio Miranda, when "Benjaming Button" stays emotionally strong due to wishful thinking of a neverending dream of a motion picture, where values and the vanity of life rules every scene so beautifully arranged by editors Kirk Baxter & Angus Wall that director David Fincher shines as visionary filmmaking in 13-times Academy-Award-nominated high-society Hollywood class of a motion picture carried out for distribution by two Hollywood majors Warner Bros. and Paramount Pictures with supreme veteran producing partners Kathleen Kennedy & Frank Marshall realized a legendary piece of cinema to be encounter again and again.Supporting roles rule with up-and-coming cast members Taraji P. Henson as Queenie, Mahershala Ali and Jared Harris as Boat's Captain Mike in moments of the picture's strugglesome mid-terms, missing Hitchcockian suspense when Academy-Award-winning visual effects by Eric Barba, Steve Pregg and highly-skilled associates strike, to flaw "The Curious Case of Benjaming Button" due to unnecessary stretched-out scenes of a character slowly-wrestle to death becomes inevitable as living a life itself.© 2018 Cinemajesty Entertainments LLC
