What would you do if one day the doorbell rang and not knowing that by answering the door that it could change your views of life? In the movie The Curious Case of Benjamin Button tells a story about a man named Benjamin and how he was born with an aging disease, the story states his extraordinary life and adventures that came along with it. The movie starts by an elderly woman who is in the hospital asking her daughter to read from a diary left to her by a man named Benjamin Button. Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) was left and raised by Queenie, (Taraji P. Henson) who was a caregiver at a senior’s home; she was very pleasant and kind. Benjamin Button who was a very wise and patient man had meet Daisy Williams, (nee Fuller) a fun and carefree woman. Throughout Ben’s adventures he has learned how to handle the times that were rough and has learned to enjoy the good times and not take advantage of them. The movie points out that weather you’re old or young you learn and deal with the situation that heads your way. The characters in this film all have something in common which is fate. In some of the reviews I had read I would have to disagree on some of the things that were said. Some reviews stated that that movie did not make sense and that it was just another chick flick. In my opinion the movie did make sense. I could understand that if people didn’t pay close attention that you could easily lose track and the understanding of the film. In order to get the point in this movie you would have to listen well and pay attention to every detail. I would recommend seeing The Curious Case of Benjamin Button for your own opinion and thoughts on this film. I would say it is not a waste of money.
