Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I.Really.Enjoyed.The.Curious.Case.Of.Benjamin.Button.

The movie captured the story in a beautiful way. I agree with Randy Bandit, the cinematography and special graphics was great. It really added to the story. I enjoyed watching Benjamin evolve over the years and I sort of felt attached to him and sorry for him at the same time. At first, I thought it was wild how ugly they made Benjamin looked in the beginning of the movie. He looked nasty and I definitely did not expect for his father to give him away in the manner that he did.

I also found it interesting how Henson's character served as his motherly figure and I often felt sorry for her because she had to add another dimension to her life filled of nurturing. I felt like she already had a lot on her plate (taking care of all of those older people) and I didn't necessarily want her to take on Benjamin simply because of all of the extra care he needed. Although I found myself being selfish on her behalf, I grew attached to her character because of her nurturing spirit.

I thought it was hilarious how the director gave humor to the elderly man who got struck by lightening numerous times in his life. It added a light and totally random element to the movie in which I enjoyed.

I could go on and on reflecting on all of the different parts of the movie that I enjoyed but I won't. If I could chose one element that made the movie great it would definitely be in cinematography (like I stated above). I enjoyed the dialogue but the way the picture the movie was shot in and the graphics that depicted Benjamin's physical being were spectacular. I have never seen a movie done in this way and not look cheap and unbelievable.

This movie is definitely one that everyone will enjoy and leave with an emotional attachment to the characters.
