A film that has everything.

Rating: 10/10 (21 October 2012)

This film is based on Fitzgerald short story called the same way. I read Fitzgerald and honestly the movie is very different but way much better. Here we see how great the special effects went on Benjamin's face, Brad Pitt did a really good performance with very natural expressions.
The plot is basically a man that was born physically looking old, and the film goes on deeply into his life and all the events and situations Benjamin confronts only because he's different for growing young.
This movie can be seeing as a point of view of a social criticism because society often rejects the difference, sometimes because it's just unusual and can't be accepted or sometimes because of the fear of accepting it without knowing future consequences. But also, this movie can be interpreted as a message sent to the audience, a message that is never too late to achieve your goals in life. And so, in my first impression, the thing I got in mind was that when people get older they start to act like little kids again, so it's wonderful that this movie portraits how the time play us back.
After watching this movie, probably you will see life for another perspective and will want to enjoy it at the fullest and start to work for your greatest aspirations because time is not forever and it can't be turned back.
