An history that will make you think

Rating: 8/10 (23 December 2017)

At first, I wasn't giving that much for this movie, I was like "oh, ok, it's a history where the main character is born old and get younger every day, but, what can you do with it?", and, omg, the movie is surprisingly good!
The movie brings a cool message about life, that makes you think a lot about how you deal with your life, or how you had so much good things, but doesn't give them the attention that they really deserve. That is certainly the most amazing thing about the movie, it make you rethink almost everything that you do.
The script is well done, the mix with the history line in the present give us something else to care about, besides the history of Benjamin Button (I just dont get it whats the relevence of the hurricane, but ok), and also tells his history in a clever way. At the beggining it bother me a little bit, but after a while it engages.
The cast is really really good. Of course, Cate Blanchett and Brad Pitt are the biggest highlight, both are amazing in the roles, but the supporting cast is also very good.
The only main issue that I have with the movie is the CGI in some parts, mostly in the scenes where Benjamin is "young" (or old, I don't know), look, I know that it's hard to do something like that, make a person that at the same time that is young is old to, but, sadly, for me the CGI take you out of the movie in the beggining, but that is it, I think that with one hour of movie, is alredy Brad Pitt there, just with make up (that by the way, is AMAZING).
In short, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a great film, with amazing direction and photography, some really great actors, and certainly worth your time.
8,5/10
