A timeless piece

Rating: Null/10 (9 June 2016)

I love this movie so much because it speaks on something fundamental and precious to everyone: time. The way the story is told reminds me of Forrest Gump. And the plot reminds me of a book I read in elementary, called Turnabout by Margaret Peterson Haddix.
The movie itself is a beautiful work to watch. Each character has a story to tell. The emotional tension really heightens in the end, when everyone realizes they can't escape time and when Caroline realizes the sad truth. Life is a funny thing: you can't stop it, you can't escape it, and you can't go back in time, even for Benjamin Button.
One of my favorite dialogue from the movie goes like this:
Benjamin Button: I was thinking how nothing lasts, and what a shame that is. Daisy: Some things last.
Yes, memories and love lasts forever. I guess we really just have to cherish every moment we have with our friends and family. I think it's quite sad yet true when Mrs. Maple told Benjamin: "We're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?" This movie is moving because it's so relatable and speaks the truth on many things in real life.
