The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
-
FIncher debuted with the 3rd movie (Alien 3 ) in the ALien Franchise and went to direct Se7en, fight club, the game , zodiac and Panic Room.
these movies follow a dark gothic theme
Benjamin Button doesnt fit into his style of directing, Funny.

it also stars the same actor bRad pitt. This movie seven is widely regarded as a groundbreaking movie in serial killer genre and Fincher shot to stardom with his directional style. The Saw movies were obviously a rip off of Seven

curious case of benjamin button traces youth and dreams, old age and the loss of hope. afterwards, aging backwards is everyone's attempt to defeat time.
the short story version offers intimate answers. the hollywood version offers perspective and romance. both provided no answers.
mark twain once said, "Life would be infinitely happier if we could only be born at the age of 80 and gradually approach 18." me thinks this movie is the result of that statement.
i guess, whether u age forward or backwards, life is in the middle of it. This show actually makes people let go their fear of aging foward as u can see from the show, even if u age backwards, a similar fear is there.
Most people are afraid of aging forward due to loneliness,appearance, illness , losing their loved ones, possessions ect and the worst of all is their memories and regrets which will haunt them. But at least u remember them. You will know who u have hurt and who have loved.
But for people like benjamin, it proves that he has the same fear as well as one day he could lose all his memory of his loved ones, possessions, regrets when he ages backwards to a baby. He will not remember them at all. he will not know who he had hurt or whom he loved.
In the end old people are baby and baby is like old people. U still end up wearing diapers in both stages of life. But one of the stages , the old age has memories. What u do in your youth to make good memories is the key to a pleasant old age.
This show shows that whatever u wanted to do in life, just do it without worrying for what it's worth: it's never too late or, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, . We can make the best or the worst of it.,make the best of it. And Ihope you see things that startle youfeel things you never felt before, meet people with a different point of view and live a life you're proud of.
