The Curious Case of Benjamin Button — 

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button was a wonderful movie.  I was literally stuck to my seat for the entire movie.  Just trying to anticipate when he would grow younger again was an adventure.  There were times when I felt like hurry get younger, but every youthful change was worth the wait.  It was interesting seeing what some of us would call an old soul embrace youth and vitality when it was thrust upon him.  It kind of lets you know that life should be appreciated no matter what.  How dare we become depressed or  unhappy because something isn't going right or exactly the way you want it.  This young man was intrigued by life no matter what his physical condition. He never turned away from a challenge but embraced every new opportunity life presented to him.  Awesome movie, I have to say one of Brad Pitt's better films. 

Cate Blanchett did a good job too.  The fact that it took the daughter so long to figure it out was a little disappointing though.  I kept saying to myself why doesn't she do the math.  Anyway, it truly is a good movie.  It would be a great movie to invite friends over to view and discuss afterwards.
