The Curious Case of Benjamin Button ( 10 out of 10)

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, held an extraordinary plot and story line then most I have seen. This movie was made to dominate the charts while having its two main characters played by Brad Pit, and Cate Blanchett. These two acted as lovers, who hearts were growing closer as there age was growing apart. Brad Pit, who plays Benjamin, a man who was born at his highest aging point, and grows younger instead of older. Cate plays Daisy, a little girl when Brad first meets her that becomes the love of his life. Fate has different paths for them, but there love will guide them in the right direction. 

While watching this movie I grew very emotional and got wrapped up into the story. I liked how the movie was told by a narrator and he was telling it from his point of view. Brad Pitt who was the narrator, also did a very good job speaking with an accent, and did a fabulous job transforming his character to an old man. One of my favorite parts of the movie was when Brad was explaining to the audience how Daisy breaks her leg, and how if the guy who ran her over would have done something different or the lady would have not been late to pick up her package, that it would have never happened. I thought it was very interesting to think about how things work out the way they do because we turned left instead of right. 

 I don't really know if there was a point to be made in this movie, but I believe that there was a message the movie was trying to give away and that is that time, and age cant stop two people from loving each other. It was very sweet and romantic and was really something I think older couples would enjoy.  Overall, I thought it was a very good movie. It is not one of my favorite love stories but it definitely made a entertaining movie and had its moments of touching my heart.
