| | Just finished watching the newest "Brad Pitt" flick, the curious case of benjamin button, and let me tell you....get your ass ready for sitting. I also suggest NOT getting that soda and popcorn, although you will probably need it for how long you will be sitting. just make sure to go to the bathroom prior to the movie (after the credits to allow most amount of time) and go slow on the drink. the movie is almost 3 hours long...
I won't put any spoilers out there, it was actually a decent story line and I love the plot idea, it's been "thought of" before, but never really put into action. the acting was good as well, except I didn't think the daughter acted very well. another thing that bothered me was the way they talked in the 80's, they still had the proper courtesy/speech as when the movie first began. incase you hadn't figured out, its a "biography" of benjamin button.
The thing that interested me the most about the story was the way they made Brad Pitt look. when he was "20" he looked like the Pitt we knew from Thelma & Louis, it was impressive.
The ending was quite sad. if I wasn't a guy, I would've cried no doubt. I don't know if it was because how we got to know the man or just the way he passed (yes, passed, he wasn't killed in some horrific, sudden way). I don't doubt Pitt will win some awards for this movie, he did VERY well.
My Overall review of the movie is, see it at home with love ones, but make sure they are all adults, there is some "sex" scenes (no nudity) as well as some cussing (which I hardly noticed minus one near the end). Definitely not a "date" movie, more of a "appreciate what you have" movie.
Would you be able to live your life as "Benjamin Button" does? how would you handle the situation had you been his parents?
