Movie Review


Corey and I went to see this movie on Saturday night. I just have to say this was an amazing movie and I highly recommend it. I totally give it an A-. The minus is simply for a couple things that weren't really cleared up in the end.
It is a three hour movie but goes by in a flash. The screen play was done by the same person who did Forest Gump, and you can totally see the similarities in both films. It is just beautifully done!!!
I think the most amazing part of the movie is the make up. Seriously I have never seen such skill in movie make up.
This film is about a man named Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) who was born an old man and aged backwards, continually getting younger and younger and the people around him grew older. The love interest in the movie is a beautiful woman named Daisy (Kate Blanchett), whom he has loved since the moment he saw her. I don't want to give too much away but, I liked the way it ended, and I liked how you knew that these two individuals loved each other unconditionally, especially because of how it ends.
I have heard mixed reviews about this movie, some saying it will win best film of the year, and some saying it was not such a great movie because it is so unrealistic. But the thing is, it is supposed to be unrealistic, its a fictitious, fantasy like story.
In addition, it has two of the most famous actors in the world.
Anyway I loved this movie.

Cant wait to see it. We never get out to the movies anymore. Before we had kids we went faithfully to see a movie twice a week!
