Movie day continues at the AMC Best Movie Showcase! We just finished watching The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Unlike The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Unlike Milk, this movie is going to take some processing before I can actually tell you what it was about. But one thing I can say is that it was a fantastic movie and appropriate for just about everyone (though I’d keep the young kids away for some adult themes).
The story centers around a man who was born with a strange affliction, possibly related to some sort of supernatural intervention, but never really explained. This affliction caused him to be born and essentially grow into an old man’s body, from which point he continues to get younger and younger.
The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a love story that weaves together the lives of several different characters in a way seemingly designed to show us there is a time and a place for everything, while simultaneously reminding us that it’s never too late to be the person you were born to be.
This is a complex, yet entertaining movie, but I think the reason its up for a Best Movie Oscar centers around the fact that, in addition to being extremely well acted, it is an entirely unique movie. I’ve never seen anything quite like it!
Here is the trailer, but I highly recommend at least renting it as soon as it’s available. Here is the official movie Web site.
Tells the story of Benjamin Button, a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences.
