Movie Story
"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins "Benjamin Button," adapted from the classic 1920s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards. A man, like any of us, unable to stop time. We follow his story set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918, into the twenty-first century, following his journey that is as unusual as any man's life can be. Directed by David Fincher and starring Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett with Tilda Swinton, Taraji P. Henson, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, "Benjamin Button," is a time traveler's tale of the people and places he bumps into along the way, the loves he loses and finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.

Neat concept, makes you think. Very slow moving at the beginning, better at the end. Would not see again.

posted by aban2 on May 10, 2009Haunting, evocative movie--unforgettable! A fabulist's tale of the inexorable forwardness of time. Tremendously moving...I can't quite put its effect into words. Everything, fate, loss, the ravages of age...all heightened by the fable of backwardness of physical aging of the main character. Subtle and incredible. Starting at the beginning with the sensless and tragic loss of lives of the clockmaker's sons. The audience is made to feel the actual sense of loss that underlies and underscores our every-day lives. People die, are lost even while alive to the ravages of time.... A philosophical and cinematic masterpiece!
