the title of this poster is backwards reflect that Benjamin's ages backwards life..
creative xD


synopsis:
"I was born under unusual circumstances." And so begins 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button,' adapted from the 1921s story by F. Scott Fitzgerald about a man who is born in his eighties and ages backwards: a man, like any of us, who is unable to stop time. We follow his story, set in New Orleans from the end of World War I in 1918 to the 21st 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 Taraji P. Henson, Tilda Swinton, Jason Flemyng, Elias Koteas and Julia Ormond, Benjamin Button is a grand tale of a not-so-ordinary man and the people and places he discovers along the way, the loves he finds, the joys of life and the sadness of death, and what lasts beyond time.


my review:
I watched this film recently and felt that this is indeed a beautiful movie. The script is special. Devoid of logic and imagination. The movie also brings out meaningful messages. There are quite some quote from this movie i felt that it delivered wonderfully and meaningfully.
"Benjamin Button: It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you."
Moreover, the visual effects and make up of this movie was done beautifully. All the details was taken care. For example the muscles n skins for the main actress when she was old. So as Brat Pitt, you can see how much different when he was young and old. One thing very impressive too is the "7 year old" Benjamin, is actually a visual effects. And the sunset and ship scene, were actually shoot in a green screen studio. The most unnoticed visual effects is actually the most perfect and well done visual effects. The mood and the tone of this movie is awesome too. The time setting the background, everything was well suited.
Definitely, a beautiful movie. 从中也有着凄美的爱情故事.. 值得欣赏的一部电影..

awards:
won Oscar 2009
-Best Achievement in Art Direction
-Best Achievement in Makeup
-Best Achievement in Visual Effects
won many awards too such as Eddie, ASC Award, BAFTA Film Award etc etc..

This film has no climax, as it really depicts the life of one guy from the beginning of the movie to the end... So for those looking for even a little bit of suspense or "bring you to your edge of the seat" feel, they may be disappointed.

I guess it just depends on everybody's own preference. If you are not into those drama genre films that really emphasize on story, then don't watch it.. simple as that.. haha... save your ticket money for Watchmen, but that is another story, or topic.. haha...

as i said, "文艺片, u cant juz 斋watch. u should 欣赏 other things like cinematography, Mise en scene, editing, sound n lots more. "
well this film actually do have a climax.. juz tat u din see it.. :'(
which is when Benjamin meet Daisy in the middle point of their age and...(if i continue it will be spoiler O_O) which is also the part that everyone waited when watch
every film has a climax. and not every film's climax also are actions or "bring you to your edge of the seat" kind
same case, film's tat dun have big actions or fancy doesn't mean that it does not has climax.
please use a different view to watch this movie. appreciate the film art
judge the movie in a more objective view, try think, if the film moves in a very fast way of story telling, then the audience won't be able to feel whats the main character's feelings and the audience won't be able to go in the movie and 触动心里的深处 because it has gone so fast that there isn't even a second for the audience to think or flash back some scene of the movie. if this happens then the film has lost its meaning. This film was inspired by the 1921 short story of the same name written by F. Scott Fitzgerald. u know written stories, they actually written lots of feelings and the inner side. thats why the film must be deliver in this way.
u dun aspect to see things tat happens in an actions movie in this film, same like you dun aspect no ghost will come out when u watch a ghost movie :huh:
this film really has the value to watch it. use another view to watch different genre movies. maybe you can get something from it who knows?
