The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

After so many weeks, I finally decided to see a movie, from the Hollywood's A-lister's such as Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt's "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"...
The last movies that I saw was by Leonardo Di Carpio's "Body of Lies", HSM 3, Mark Wahlberg's "Max Payne" and Shia Lebeouf's "Eagle Eye"...all in ONE DAY alone!!! but watching Leo's movie in itself was thoroughly entertaining and thought provoking...(If I did not do this movie marathon I would have been insane from months and months and months of REVIEW for my nursing licensure examination...who says entertainment is cheap?)

I have never been a fan of Brad simply because I dont find his movies substantial and it was always focus on his sex appeal, looks and body...other than that, what else?!? Thoughts?!? (Troy, ocean's eleven and the likes)...However, he can get away with it...Sadly...

Cate Blanchett was stellar!


So why the hell did I watched the movie in the first place?! Simply because the title itself resembles a book that I have read years before the "The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-time" by Mark Haddon. The book has an interesting premise...and so I thought maybe this movie would live up to my expectation...

I would say it was indeed interesting...seeing Benjamin's transformation from an aged infant to adolescent to a dying baby...the women in his life...so forth and so on...

I would say that even if we could reverse the order of life...Life in itself is complicated...it is in how we live our life and cope with it...All of us play different roles to fill each others emptiness...So, have you realize what are meant for?
