The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

[This review originally appeared in Mythprint 47:2 (#331) in February 2010.] The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells the fictional story of a man who ages in reverse. When Benjamin Button is born at the end of the First World War, his body is the size of a baby but has more in common with that of an old man: he has wrinkles, cataracts, and severe arthritis. His mother dies in childbirth; his father, wanting nothing to do with the baby, considers killing him but instead abandons him on the front porch of a seniors’ home. The caregiver living at the home finds him on the front porch and raises him as her own son. The doctor predicts that the baby will not live long, but Benjamin defies the predictions. It soon becomes obvious that his body is getting younger instead of older, which provides an interesting opportunity to depict the symmetry of life: just like a normal child, Benjamin grows hair and teeth, learns to walk and talk, and outgrows his need for diapers. When a new resident moves in to the home, Benjamin meets her visiting granddaughter Daisy. Benjamin and Daisy are roughly the same age at this time, and they become friends—as good of friends as they can be considering that he appears to be in his seventies. Much of the story involves their interactions as they move in and out of each others’ lives over the next sixty to seventy years. I have always been a fan of narratives that span the full lifetimes of the main characters, or ...

If you are a fan of David Fincher or Brad Pitt then you might have seen the famous movie “Curious Case of Benjamin Button”. This movie is considered as one of the best movies of 2008. First, we talk about the highlights of this movie. Amazing starcast(Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett etc.), excellent direction ( by David Fincher), strong story and perfect representation of the story; all this comes to mind while talking about this movie. Those who are interested in literature would find it interesting to know that this movie is made on a short story by famous Anglo American writer F.Scott Fitzgerald. If you have become bore of the movies with predictable stories then you would love to watch this movie for a change. In this movie, Brad Pitt plays the role of Benjamin Button, a man who was ugly and old at the time of his birth. His father did not accept him and left him on the stairs of someone else’s house. As Benjamin grows up, he starts to notice that he is getting better in health and appearance. The reason behind this was that Benjamin was aging in a backward manner. From his childhood days, Benjamin knew one thing that his life is not going to be like other people. Daisy Fuller (Cate Blanchett) plays the role of Benjamin’s beloved in this movie. From his childhood days, Benjamin had strong feelings for her. You would find the movie quite romantic when both the characters start a live in relationship. Daisy was a dancer by profession. Like a ...

Yes, Fight Club , The Game , Seven , they alone are enough to make me give any David Fincher movie a try. But I’ll be honest, he left a really bad taste in my mouth (phrasing…) with Benjamin Button. That shit was ridiculous. Then he chooses to direct a movie about Facebook, starring Jessie Eisenberg and Justin Timberlake? It’s like he’s trying to Nic Cage himself. But, I’ll try and keep an open mind about The Social Network . Here’s the newly released teaser trailer to whet your appetite. ...

I saw The Curious Case of Benjamin Buttons last night. It was one of the best movies I’ve ever seen in my life. The acting was splendid, and the make-up was absolutely wonderful. *** Brad Pitt simply amazes me. He totally becomes whatever character he is playing. He is an amazing actor. I don’t think that I ever mentioned I saw him before in person when Phillise was a baby. My husband worked at a voice-over studio and he was there recording something.His Range was blocking the way as I was trying to get into the lot. Before I could get a chance to ask him to move, he held his hand up to tell me to wait and politely moved back. He was only blocking the way because he was listening to the pesky valet trying to hawk a script to him. Anyway, I waved a thank you, to which he nodded. I didn’t know who he was, but I thought that surely he was the best looking person I’d ever seen in my life. His skin was oh so beautiul. His clothes looked like they cost more than I make in a month (They probably did), and his features were simply chiseled. I am not kidding. He is so fiiiiiiiine. You just don’t see people this good looking walking the street everyday. You simply cannot tell that he is as good looking as he is on television. Television absolutely does not do him justice, at all. My husband knows that if I were ever going to leave him that it would be for Brad Pitt if he would have me. I know that as soon as I get that snowball out of Hell, h ...
