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 is epic, has a Hollywood tone, 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.

Good, but overdone

I went into this with little expectations, what I got was some excellent acting from a very strong cast, great make-up on Brad Pitt, a very strong productions keeping a solid grip on all the periods throughout the movie. In short, it was technically... Read and rate it
