11. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I enjoy watching a movie and being able to forget about whats going on around me. The visual effects of turning Brad Pitt into a 80 year old seven year old is unreal. It was fantastic. I love a movie that spans a long period of time during the film. I wanna know more about how this movie was made because its like nothing I've ever seen before. The premise of the movie is a man that is born a baby but, with complications. He's born with wrinkles, cataracts, arthritis, and other physical disabilities. In the most literal sense he was born an old man baby! The idea is fresh and very unique. My favorite thing about Benjamin is that he's open to doing new things. That's what I base my whole life on. Ben's story is one of the best, I'm stoked I got to watch this movie. Prior to watching this I had a very vague idea about the move and was genuinely surprised about how intense and dramatic it was. It blew me away. the setting was perfect and the beginning of the movie leads you right into it. Its a perfect fit. I wholeheartedly agree with Mr. Walske about not watching this movie if your looking for a lighthearted action flick. The connection between Daisy ( Ben's love interest) and Ben is a believable one. The journey they go on leads them into different worlds, but some how they manage to be brought back to each other. I'm mostly impressed with the storyline and original characters in the film. The beginning build up seems like it might be slightly out of place but other than that I have no objections with the movie. I know I could not have done any better! I will be glad to recommend this movie to everyone i know. I give it four out of five stars!
