The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button


Last week I purchased the DVD The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Let me just stop and say WOW! This movie possesses all the pure, authentic entertainment that most films today simply lack. Not that I'm surprised, I mean it does star Brad Pitt. It's hard to be let down with a Pitt film.

The movie tells the life story of Benjamin Button, who was born old, but as his life progresses he grows younger. Very interesting concept, but rest assured it works perfectly. This is the first film I've been able to form a special bond with in a long time. I found myself sharing emotions with Benjamin as his life went through the typical ups and downs. Except his ups and downs weren't exactly "typical", seeing that he ages backwards. If you're a fan of the long epic films, as I am then you will really enjoy this movie. The director and producers don't worry about editing the film to be exactly 90 mins, for the sake of Hollywood. Long, in-depth movies are always the best! If you haven't seen the movie yet, I advise that you go out TODAY and get it:)
