The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The movie isn't good or bad at all, just okay. The beginning and ending were both weird. The movie trailers completely fooled me. I guess they don't call them "teaser trailers" for nothing.

Okay, so most of us know that the "curious case" is that Benjamin ages backwards (getting younger everyday) instead of forwards, like how everyone else ages. That would be great towards the middle but it would suck at the beginning where doctors and everyone else claims that he had no chance and the end where you're a child who seems to think they have already lived most of their life. Think of it as getting over with the pains of aging early and still having to do with the pains of adolescence and etc. later.

And just like most dramas, there's a wee bit of romance. A little love story involving Daisy (Cate Blanchett) and Benjamin (Brad Pitt). Like I mentioned, it kind of sucks at the beginning and the end and the best part for them is the middle where they both meet up at approximately the same age then wait a little bit longer and one is looking younger and one is getting older. What a weird love story (Opposites attract!).
