Life..Times and More

The curious case of Benjamin Buttons.


I am a regular movie buff so to say. I have just realized this utmost interest and the hunger for more from films that i have been watching from some time. My family at times nags me for sitting on my PC for too long, as for the records i already wear specs. They worry am gonna shift to bottle bottoms if i work on the same pace.

The idea of the movie mentioned here created my interest to see how well the director can depict the complex nature of the character, who is growing younger with time. We all are used to seeing our actors age in the movie but this was the other way round. Interesting i thought. I guess all the mentions in Oscars and the talk about the movie are genuine. they say its THE movie.

I recently had a conversation with a friend and topic came to movies. He mentioned this one is a must watch, tells you a lot about life.

Well when i think about it, first of all Brad Pitt isn't just a glamorous red carpet eye candy. The ACTOR....is the ONE i guess who could do this role. I dont even think i would like to see someone else playing Benjamin.

If you are expecting a review on this movie...I guess you try some other blog and you  might not sleep today if you start reading them...They are sooo many.

What i have here are the moments, that as a person I could live with the movie.
It takes your breath away at times. while half way through, I felt like running to my loved ones and hugging them tight. Wanted so bad to call up friends and say i love them.

The moments in ones life when we grow? I guess .....The moments you dream about having as part of your life..The moments of having someone who cares, a mother when you don't have one, a Friend when you  are too old , a child, a partner....this story says A lot.

I guess life isn't what we all think it is. We are living it everyday, making it pass away so easily when we should actually be doing so much in the time we have. You never know whats tomorrow. I dont know about others but as me, as i see it, sometimes just take things as usual....i guess that's not a way to live. Living isn't about just letting dates and years pass. Its about doing so much in them.....that when you get old and just before you die.....you say....what an amazing life this was.
