A Review Break 4 Casting Directors: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Rating: 9/10 (23 April 2015)

On truth, meaning, world-view, biblical principles and interpretation.
How fiction reveal truth in 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' movie is the movie makes it clear that you can't stop time, whether you're growing older or younger as we all are going to end up in the same direction. So enjoy the moments you have with the people that life brings across your path, and try to make the most of it.
On meaning, describing what the story/director is trying to say is with all the clocks and flashback moments displayed in the film, I think that the story/director are trying to say that even though time can't be stopped and you can't make yourself get any older or younger time should never be the thing that tries to stop you from making the most out of the moments that life brings to you, as you can share those moments with the people that comes across your path.
On world-view, describing what rules and values are in use by the characters are that the characters lived a life of lawlessness, as there seemed to be no rules hardly, it was a live of lawlessness as I don't think I saw any law enforcement vehicle, but I heard a police siren in the background of a scene so that could symbolize that they are around and just not seen. In the film it seemed like there were a bunch of worldly principles in the characters, as there was some party scenes in the whore house, drinking and living life carelessly until the characters was aging and on there death bed with regrets. The beginning of the movie started off displaying good values like Queenie taking care of a baby that was seen as something less important, Queenie taking Benjamin to church, Carolina reading to her mother Daisy, Daisy teaching ballet to the youth and some of the characters you can see valued the time that they spent with each other, those are just a few examples.
Now discussing the characters' behavior, based upon biblical principles. One biblical principle that I noticed was when Benjamin button was drop off and abandoned at the steps of Queenie, Queenie took Benjamin button in, despite his physical appearance and raised him like her own. This biblical principle is taking care of the widows and orphans, as you can also see that Benjamin honored his care-taker by the way he treated Queenie. This can apply to honoring you father and mother.
On interpretation, describing what the movie means to me personally. There was a lot of notes that I took on the movie, as I believe that I got a lot of stuff out of it. One was the value of time, as I have stated early on that you can't stop time, but you can make the most out of it while you are here on this earth. By sharing memories with those that life bring across your path, doing the simplest things that may seem big for others through their eyes and to not take time for granted as that is basically what this movie means to me personally.
