First Midnight Movie

I'd give a thumbs up for the write-up and plot for the movie Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Such a unique and creative storyline, and for me, is quite captivating. Even though I was really really sleepy watching, the movie made me manage to stay awake. lol. To keep me awake at a sleepy state, would only mean that it got me really involved with it's story.

Benjamin Button (played by Brad Pitt) was born old, and as years pass, he grows younger...Although it's definitely not normal, I don't see anything wrong with it..Just that, he gets to see people around him die, while he grows younger each year. But come to think of it..isn't it the same if he was born normal ang grows old as everyone does...he'll also get to see the people around him die, so I guess it's almost the same thing. What might have been the most difficult thing for him was to accept that he would not be capable of being a father to his daughter, moreso, a husband to his wife.
As for Daisy (Cate Blanchett), who when she was still young, (i think) actually fell in love - not superficially, for she saw the kid in Benjamin even as he seemed like an old man. I pity her, because she had to bear not growing old with the man she truly loves..instead she had to take care of him, as he grows younger, and as he dies.

Cinematography wise, there's this one part that indeed i believe was really amazing, how they captured the feel and emotions of the baby Benjamin dying in the arms of Daisy.
Definitely no need for special effects or whatsoever, the story itself was able to carry out the movie. Yes, this is a nice movie, one that totally made the difference among the typical predictable storylines of other films. I suppose there's no need to mention how the actors executed their characters...they managed to put themselves in the place of the characters they play..they were one with their characters.=)

As always..i'm full of crap..lol.heck, these are my opinions anyway.i'm entitled to my own opinions.haha.
