On Christmas my husband and I went to see The Curious case of Benjamin Button. The curious case is that Benjamin is born as a old baby and grows backwards, so he is born blind with serious case of arthritis, and other illnesses of old age. The time goes by and Benjamin feels better and stronger, so he is getting younger. I like this movie because it provokes a reflexion about the course of time, and reflexions about the miraculous but unappreciated moment of "now" in our lives. Also the movie exposes the idealism of having courage to live the life you really want for yourself and how timing of the important events in our life is everything. Technically speaking the digital effect of the movie are great. The special effects make Brad and Cate look much more younger in a very natural way. The acting is so surprising and warm. Brad Pitt is great, he performed in one of the most amazing ways I have ever seen him, so original and at the same time natural. I would adventure to say that Brad is going to be nominated for best actor at the Oscars. Cate Blanchet acts as excellent as always, so she is going to be nominated for best actress in the Oscars but Cate Winslet is going to win for revolutionary road(I have not watched the movie yet) or the reader(I have not watched it neither). Taraji P. Henson is going to be nominated also for the Oscar’s awards in the category of best supporting actress. The movie lasts 2 hr and 40 min. which are gone like that. The curious case of Benjamin Button is going to be nominated for best movie with good odds of winning and with more then 11 nominations.
