Salvation of a young old man

Rating: 9/10 (19 February 2009)

David Fincher is well known for his Thrilling pictures like Seven or The Game (Alien 3 is not counted) and others but i feel that The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is something different. some story of reverse growing up and the problems based on it.
I by myself did'nt expect this movie . this year's Academy Awars Nominated pictures are rarely good . as i understood the subject,every year the choice of Academy is based on movies which have been shown in December. because of that movies like this and The Reader ,Frost/Nixon ,Milk and Slumdog Millionaire are chosen.i declare that the absence of Revelutionary Road is deeply felt.but somehow this year's movies are perfect.
Benjamin Button(Brad Pitt)'s life starts with a disaster.when he Born's his face and body condition declares the strange condition . he looks like a 90 years old man.he is thrown out of his house by his father Thomas Button(Jason Flemyng) after his mother passed away.and he is raised with old people with a kind black woman Queenie (Taraji P. Henson) who Benjamin considers her as his mama . later he visits a young girl Daisy and he kind of like her.as time going by,Benjamin grows younger and he leaves the house . he goes to sea and he works on a boat . Daisy(Cate Blanchett) is now a well qualified Dancer and she comes back to visit Benjamin.and they fall in love with each other ,but the problems and troubles are on the way...
hack of a storyline.this movie is going on reverse way itself.and i am sure that there are people in world that have the same condition of Benjamin.some of us really grow younger than do it on its proper way.the movie really attracted me.this tragedy of growing young and its weird kind of life .as Benjamin declares the actual consequences of such lifetime.and for that this is a great movie . but rarely deserves the award for best picture of the year.
Brad Pitt performs some of the Best Performancrs in his acting career.i do admire the couple of Brad/Angie for their this years pro choices of roles and it fitting for them .Pitt's Benjamin Button is one of the best roles he has ever performed . his way of talking and behaving plus the growing young shows that the man is proved for being a decent actor. Cate Blanchett is as good as always.but in this movie her performing is under the influence of Pitt's strong acting.Cate is good.and for the record Taraji P. Henson is thrilling.as Queenie she gives a great job and shows a heartbreaking performance.
after all i did'nt expexct a good movie from David Fincher.starting your way of directing with Alien3(1992) may give a hard backbone fall to any director.but Fincher separate the path by making Seven(1995),Fight Club(1999) and this picture from rotten directors and shows a outstanding kind of job.
great movie. 9 from 10 ...
