An Unusual Masterpiece by David Fincher

Rating: 7/10 (3 June 2009)

David Fincher has brought us many great movies. Zodiac in 2007, Se7en in 1995, and Fight Club in 1999. Now, he brings us The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, which I feel wasn't as good as Zodiac or Fight Club, but was still a great movie.
Brad Pitt plays Benjamin Button, a man who was born in his 80s and ages backward. Cate Blanchett plays Daisy, the woman who he loves.
The story is told in flashbacks as Caroline (Daisy's daughter) reads a diary to her dying mother right before Hurricane Katrina hits. The diary is about a man named Benjamin. Benjamin ages backwards. The diary also talks about his adventures around the world and his love for Daisy.
This movie should have won David Fincher an Oscar for Best Director and Brad Pitt the Oscar for Best Actor but sadly, it didn't. I enjoyed this movie very much. I hope you will too.
10/10
