Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button springs into being as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home and ages in reverse. Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flits in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer. Though he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.

ubcdomyat You will be distributed all the movie??is it realistic or fictional??? But you will insist on finishing it,,,one of the best movies
kimd-38939 Wow. This movie put me on an emotional rollercoaster. It was beautiful in many ways.First, the plot was incredibly creative - kudos to the writer! I'd never seen or read a story similar to this one, so it was definitely refreshing. I must, however, warn you that this story is not a happy one; it's honestly heartbreaking in my opinion. I greatly empathized with Benjamin and the pain that he experienced from having his unique disease. From being abandoned as a baby and missing out on a normal "growing up" phase, to losing Daisy and his opportunity for fatherhood, Benjamin's life seemed overall quite sad. The two leading cast members, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett, both did a great job portraying their characters. Pitt, in particular, did an outstanding job. I think he was perfectly convincing as the kind-hearted Benjamin. I also give props to the amazing costumes and sets used in this movie. It was evident that a lot of hard work and care was put into making these aspects really shine.While this movie had a lot of great aspects, it also had a few shortcomings. First, I was disappointed that Daisy never explained why she had rejected Benjamin in Paris; she never even apologized for her cruelty, which I think is something which needed to be addressed. Second, I found it odd that not many people were questioning Benjamin's disease. It was never explicitly addressed by anyone (except for Benjamin, I guess).Overall, however, this movie is a great one, and I'd definitely recommend it!

Mihai Toma A newborn child who looked like an old man and had the body him was abandoned on the stairs of an asylum. There, he gets adopted and starts living the rest of his life which will prove to be very different when compared to one of an ordinary man's. We follow his life throughout the entire movie as written in the journal of his childhood love, with all its difficulties and pleasures until his final breath.To be honest, although it had an excellent idea in what the main character is concerned, it proved to be what seems mostly like a biography. We are presented simple events which the unusual man experiences, in chronological order, without something that will amaze you or even wake you up from the state of boredom this movie puts you in. Just ordinary stuff which could have happened to any ordinary man. Its biggest fault by far though remains its inexplicable length which prolongs the boredom more than ever desired. Don't get me wrong, it is unique and interesting in some aspects, but it is quite predictable, linear and even boring. Its characters play their role well but don't actually shine, their characters being simplistic and even dull at times. It's a movie from which I had high expectations but I ended up pretty disappointed.
