REVIEW: The Curious Case of Benjamin Button


Plot: A boy is born old and ages in reverse, seeing the upside of life, which is sometimes unfair. His life story is told straight from his diary, read out by his daughter to the love of his life, who happens to be dying.

One word - Beautiful. And in every aspect, it is and it lives up to its expectation. It is a very captivating look at the life of a normal person with a slight twist to life. It makes you want more. It also makes you look at life in a different perspective. It's like one of those few times when you visit a museum, and find a portrait that you want to keep looking at forever. Because it touches you so deeply. Yes, this film is greatly emotional. This film also boasts cinematography, art direction and production design at their best. If you have the final ten dollars of your life in your hand, watch this. Chances are, you won't regret it.
Rating: 5
