When you start to believe in a fiction

Rating: 8/10 (19 September 2014)

I had gone to the cinema with big expectations to this film, but was I really satisfied ? When I saw the trailer, I was really convinced it would be the Oscar movie which would have the place in Top 100 at worst. Brad Pitt and Kate Blanchett are one of my favorite actors, especially in Drama movies. And together in film with so interesting story? What can be better! At the beginning I was pretty sure my expectation was right. Especially the scene with young 90 years old Benjamin and his new mother in the church. She was asking god for the forgiveness and suddenly he stood from the wheelchair and his real life just started. And the meeting with Daisy, the little beautiful girl, was start of the perfect trite romance. But an hour, I firstly look at my watches. And I started to be a bit bored. It was amazing to see how is the ravages of time cruel. Benjamin was younger and younger but Daisy was just losing her life. Retired ballet dancer, who is together with the boy who would be a baby in twenty years. The story was still interesting but it was too long. The first years of his were for me much more interesting and it took only 30 minutes but next hour and half nothing touched my heart. I probably don't remember properly any scene from this main part.And the end? Finally I was so interested like at the beginning.
