The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

We’re deeply affected and touched by this wonderful masterpiece. I don’t care what Roger Ebert and others say that it’s a Forrest Gump rip-off. It’s not. It might have some similarities, but the feel of the movie is way different. Inspired by the short story from F. Scott Fitzgerald, the movie follows the life of a boy/man who ages backwards. This is the only thing that the movie has in common with the short story. But I did not care. The screenplay was so beautifully written. And the acting was flawless. Cate Blanchett somehow managed to amaze me once again, after so many incredible performances. And Brad Pitt delivers his most powerful and grandios work. I want him to get the Oscar for Best Actor. It’s his time.

It’s nothing like other David Fincher movies. He manages to show us once again what a great film-maker he is. Beautiful directing. Some people are bitching about its length, 159 minutes; it’s all nonsense. It could have lasted 4 hours, I would not have cared. It is such an intriguing and sad and beautiful film about birth, life, happiness and sorrow… death.

It’s been some time since I’ve been waiting for it to be released. I knew that it would be a masterpiece.

Do yourself a huge favor and go see this movie! Or download it… it’s amazing!
