The curious case of Benjamin Buttons. A 2 hour and 43 mins long

Review:

Meaningful movie and touching. What if you were born backwards? From the start, you looked like an old  guy/lady. And as you grew, you became younger and younger. And when you reach the middle age,you looked exactly the age of it. The age where you stand between life and death.

When Benjamin first came on Earth, his father disowned him and was raised by a lady. He had to accept the sufferings of being an wrinkled old baby. As he grew, he suffered from old age. He couldn’t walk without clutches, his body was weak, his face was wrinkled, etc and had to depend on wheelchair. During that time, he met with alot people who thought him about life and had experienced  close-to-death incidents,to-try experiment , etc.

As time pass, he became in his mid-thirties. That was the most memorable he can recalled of. Everything seems so wonderful. His looks, his life, his love life were so perfect. How time can stop at that moment. But then, he had to face the fact he is becoming younger and younger each day until he dies. He had a child with his wife and he knew he couldn’t possibly raise it with her cos of his condition. He left her with his child and he wandered off alone.

And at last, as years past, he changes  from a dashing looking middle age man to a mischievous teenager, to a naughty child ,to a have-to-train-to-talk toddler ,and in the end to a cute baby where he dies peacefully under the hands of his wife who took care of him from the day he became teenager. Awww~this part i cried hard.

All this came to a stop.  How life has ended for Benjamin Buttons.

Quotes to share:

“Life can only be understood looking backward. It must be lived forward.”

“You never know what’s coming for you”

“We are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss”

"We were meant to lose people. How else would we know how important they are?"

For what it’s worth, it’s never too late, or in my case too early, to be whoever you want to be. There’s no time limit... start whenever you want... you can change or stay the same. There are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. I hope you see things that stop you. I hope you feel things that you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life that you’re proud of and if you find that you’re not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.
-Benjamin Button

Let’s live life forward and looks backwards at the end of the day. cherish. enjoy every moment.
