Everything I expect to see on a film

Rating: 10/10 (8 June 2014)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has become one of my top 5 films. I just bought the special edition DVD and watched this for the fourth time to have the exact same feeling i had when i first saw it. I simply find, that even putting aside its plot (which is by itself very magical) this movie is amazing at every aspect you could try to find: Our two main characters (Brad and Cate) truly show what their greatness in acting is. As I saw on another review, the films tenderness and feeling is brought by its actors, whereas Fincher, who is not so a romantic director, does his best at making the film as complete as possible in every technical and artistic aspect. I looked at all the special features on my DVD and realized how much the compromise of the cast and the crew with making a perfectionist piece of work was. I think that's what i had felt with Benjamin even before watching the special features. This film has become a topic of discussion at home ever since we watched it. Its look at life and it's splendid focus on special effects and artistic representation makes this movie 500% worth watching!
