Profile of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

The mood of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is bittersweet, atmospheric, and sentimental. The plot centers around aging, misfits, and imaginary themes. It is a drama, romance, and fantasy movie. Stylistically, it has a Hollywood tone, is epic, and includes a voice over. In approach, it is serious. The pacing is slow. It is set in New Orleans. It happens in the 1920s, in the 1930s, and in the 1950s. It is derived from a short story. It is known for being original, an Oscar winner, and a blockbuster. It is especially suggested for a date night. Note that it includes profanity.

Summary of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

Born under unusual circumstances, Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) springs into being as an elderly man in a New Orleans nursing home and ages in reverse. Twelve years after his birth, he meets Daisy, a child who flickers in and out of his life as she grows up to be a dancer (Cate Blanchett). Though he has all sorts of unusual adventures over the course of his life, it is his relationship with Daisy, and the hope that they will come together at the right time, that drives Benjamin forward.

Newsweek

Lyrical, original, misshapen and deeply felt, this is one flawed beauty of a movie. Full Review

Ok but way too long

This movie was originally based on the short story by F. Scott Fitzgerald and turned into a way too long movie. The general story idea is very interesting though. It shows the life of Benjamin Button (Brad Pitt) as he ages backwards. I definitely... Read and rate it

An odd movie but worth a look. Brad Pitt is really good as usual assuming that's actually him in the movie & not pure CG. Either way the aging effects are some of the best I've seen. A cool story well executed. Read and rate it
