Daisy asks Caroline to read to her aloud the diary of Daisy'southward lifelong friend, Benjamin Push button.

Although separated through the years, Daisy and Benjamin remain in contact throughout their lives, reconnecting in their forties when in age they finally match upwards.

"I of the best movies of 2008"

F. Scott Fitzgerald'south curt story 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' has been transformed into a fantabulous picture show by David Fincher. A marvelously fabricated picture, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is 1 of the best movies of 2008. The bandage is terrific and director David Fincher beautifully puts together the tale of Benjamin's life. The merely large flaw many will detect is that the concept of the movie's premise seems too unrealistic.

The film tells the life of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt). Born equally an old man, Benjamin ages backwards; gradually getting younger as those around him age ordinarily. Benjamin is abandoned at nascence and picked upward at an old-age home. Every bit a child - or rather as a hunched over 80 yr old - he meets a girl named Daisy (Cate Blanchett). Together they engage in innocent child games, and through this they develop a special connection. As Benjamin goes off into the world, Daisy continues to grow upwardly, later pursuing her dream of dancing. Benjamin joins a crew and sails circular the earth, catastrophe up in Russian federation. So, after Pearl Harbor, Benjamin joins in the war effort, following battles beyond the north Pacific and only engaging in 1 combat situation.

Returning to New Orleans, Benjamin has grown taller, lost many of his wrinkles, and grown more hair. The visual effects are spectacular in following Brad Pitt through the various stages of his life. From an old man to a immature teen, Benjamin always resembles Pitt. Upon arrival in his childhood abode, Benjamin learns that many of the tenants he knew accept passed on. This is the tragedy of aging backwards, those you knew continue to age forward as they exit this world while you practise the contrary. Benjamin also meets Daisy again, who subsequently many years has become a successful dancer and has blossomed into a beautiful immature adult female. Long gone is the innocence of childhood, and Daisy has become intimate with many men in New York City. Missing past an inch, she and Benjamin do not initiate a relationship until afterward in the film.

Narrated from the present, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button starts with Daisy's daughter reading Benjamin'southward diary to her mother in a hospital on the cusp of Hurricane Katrina. This allows the narration to occasionally halt for an elderly Daisy to comment on events of her life. A fundamental motif running throughout this moving-picture show is time. Beginning and catastrophe with sequences nigh the same clock, David Fincher seems to allude to the notion that things fade, and that we must concord on to the things we love in the time we have with them.

The Curious Instance of Benjamin Button is a fantastic film. Beautifully created, David Fincher paints an paradigm of the s of the U.s. in the early 1900s which seems both realistic and fantastical. The film also illustrates state of war, travel, decease, and many of the other events of life. Brad Pitt shows emotional depth as Benjamin, and Cate Blanchett is terrific as Daisy. It is surprising how much we can take away from a 166 minute movie, the audience feels as if they accept known Benjamin and Daisy for all of their lives. While some may question the premise of the film, arguing that time is linear and that the plot is therefore incoherent, there can exist no arguing that this picture does its best to develop human relationships and to establish emotional connections between characters. As Roger Ebert in one case said, "A picture show is non about its field of study; information technology'south about how it's nigh its bailiwick", and The Curious Instance of Benjamin Button certainly handles its subject fabric splendidly.
