the curious case of benjamin button

Life isn't measured in minutes, but in moments

I watched this yesterday for the $5.50 early bird special at evanston theater as part of my plan to watch a film in a theater at least once a month at this incredibly cheap price. (it's part of my goal to see films as they were intended to be seen, to get the better film watching experience, and to enhance to appreciation for the art of cinema).

You know how Forrest Gump is a "life film?" Meaning, according to myself at least, that it's a film about the treasures and trials of life, a film that includes a good number of lessons to be learned in life. Well, I'd definitly consider The Curious Case of Benjamin Button to be one of those films. It struck many chords with me. It was a 2 hour and 46 minute long film, but I watched patiently as it took me on a journey, from the beginning of a life to the end of it.

There were some really poetic moments and great lines/truths. I always admire the well-written word.
I liked a number of things that are too cheesy for me to post all here publicly, but let me say that I was moved by all that was said. It had me thinking for a long while after.

incredibly sad, incredibly angry
