The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Rating:	★★★★★
Category:	Movies
Genre:	Drama

This is such a well-made film. Each frame was just rich and beautiful. Of course, Cate and Brad were beautiful, too! I was touched by Daisy and Benjamin's love story and was saddened when they had to part ways because Daisy "couldn't take care of both of them" (Benjamin and their daughter). The film, however, wasn't as deep as it could've been. Instead of us deriving life lessons from the story, the lessons were thrown to us by means of dialogue. Nevertheless, I'm glad I've seen it.

Memorable quotes:

*We are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss.

*It's a funny thing about comin' home. Looks the same, smells the same, feels the same. You'll realize what's changed is you.

*Sometimes we're on a collision course, and we just don't know it. Whether it's by accident or by design, there's not a thing we can do about it.

*For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again.

*Benjamin, we're meant to lose the people we love. How else would we know how important they are to us?

*Some people, were born to sit by a river. Some get struck by lightning. Some have an ear for music. Some are artists. Some swim. Some know buttons. Some know Shakespeare. Some are mothers. And some people, dance.
