The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, starting Brad Pitt (Benjamin) and Cate Blanchett (Daisy) tells the story of a boy who ages backwards. The movie goes through Benjamin's life as he sees everyone else get older as he gets younger.

This movie very long, 166 minutes, but definitely worth the watch. I enjoyed this movie and watching as Benjamin "aged" through life and seeing how he interacted with the other people in his life. Benjamin's experiences changed who he was as a person and his perspective on time. The concept of time was a main focus of the movie. It made you think about how you are living your life and the amount of time you are spending on important things.
Although they could have made this movie a little shorter, it still would have been just as good. The movie was set in the 1920's. The setting contributed greatly to the originality of the script and plot.
I give this movie 4.5 stars out of 5 stars.
This movie had many different genres including drama, fantasy, romance, mystery, along with many others.

This movie nominated for 16 Oscars including Best Actor and Best Director.
