A lifetime experience.

Rating: 10/10 (29 November 2011)

I happened to hear about this movie and the concept of someone aging backwards in time was great and so i saw this movie. This movie has a slow pace to mention about and it works in the way that, it gives us the feeling as if we are living with Benjamin Button. People who like him like this movie, people who doesn't like him doesn't like the movie, its so simple isn't it? But the movie has something else other than a person and his life, this movie is about life itself and the self proclaimed beauty of living to the fullest. One of the best quotes of the film is when Benjamin in his letter to his daughter writes "Hope you live a life you're proud of and if you find that you're not, i hope you have the strength to start all over again". The music in the film is magical, It gives you an out of the world experience. The movie's cinematography is at its best and its so welcoming to see a movie that runs around 2 hours and 45 minutes, a welcome change perhaps from the usual time line of movies. This film a biopic lets has a soul inside and at the end of the film it gives you the feeling of living a life and how good it is to be an ordinary person. In many ways i envy Benjamin, he did what all he wanted to, i believe he lived a life he's proud of and this character a memorable one played by Brad Pitt is flawless in the way he has flaws and makes us believe Benjamin could be anyone among us. Brad Pitt excels to the fullest and all the credit goes to David Fincher's work, i would say this was a work of art something which you don't find often. It's one of the best films i have ever seen.
