Quote:

Have I ever told you about how I have been hit by lightening 7 times?

Promise me he'll have a place.

Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.

A story starring Benjamin a baby born with a very peculiar misfortune . Being born old, not in age but in the condition  of his body. Starring "Brad Pitt" as Benjamin he goes through life learning how to live differently than any of us will or ever have, backwards. Born with a withered old body with callouses ,wrinkles and severe arthritis; he had a lot to overcome right from the beginning. His mother died at childbirth and asked of his father played by "Jason Flemyng" to watch over him as she laid on her deathbed. His instant reaction in his hectic state of panic. Was to take the baby and run away. Out of confusion he left he leaves it on a random doorstep. Fortunately baby Benjamin Was found by a kind young couple, almost stepping on him going down the stairs leaving the house. Startled by what they found, a young lady Queenie played by "Taraji P. Henson".She decides to take the baby inside, cause she feels its the right thing to do. So not only is Benjamin born into the world old, without a mother, and abandoned by his father. He is taken in by people that literally stumbled upon him that are not his parents. Then you are brought on a journey on the rest of Benjamin life all the way to his last days.

This movie long as it may be is the best movie out this month during Christmas time. I have made up my mind . I have seen other films that are coming out this month. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button I found extremely entertaining to watch. Brad Pitt did such a fantastic job in such a unique role as Benjamin Button. The story is so unusual you cannot help but be interested on what will happen next. It has everything from adventure, love, and romance. Sharing with you the complete life of Benjamin Buttons written in his memoirs from beginning to end. It touches on the many experiences that we as human beings go through in our lives. They might not be exactly like how Benjamin encounters in the film, but that we all will in our own ways experience in our daily lives. Especially the film touches on with the loss of people who make impacts on our lives. That inspire us to be who we are. That affect what we become as we grow older with our own unique personalities. This is a movie that should not be missed. A movie that can be appreciated by people who have been around the block a couple of times. I hope that they will give it the recognition that it deserves and stays in theaters long as possible for people to enjoy as much as I did.
