Default The Curious Case of Benjamin Button (2008)

I saw this movie the other day and I have to say I truly enjoyed it. It was captivation throughout and I felt like I always wanted to know what happens next. The movie was long, however, and got slow towards the end which was the only disappointing part of the movie for me.

** SPOILER ALERT **
If you haven't seen the movie yet, turn around and do not read further!

OK so the end where Benjamin reverted back to infancy became a bit too weird for me. I think the perfect ending for the movie would have been after he met up Daisy at the dance studio and then they made love one last time at the hotel (which was kinda cool since Benjamin was portrayed as a teenager at this point and he got to bang his milf wife). We could have just assumed that he died afterward and wouldn't have to go through the extra 20 or so minutes of him going back to being a new born and loosing his mind in the process.

It was "Mearth", not "Mirth". Mork named him after Mindy (the "M") and the planet Earth. Hence "Mearth".

Demonstrating that I know entirely too much about Mork and Mindy.

Default My review

I truly enjoyed this movie as well. It really made me think about how many times in my life that I put things off. It was the first movie in a long time that my husband and I actually were able to have long in-depth conversations about other than "that was funny". We actually got to get philosophical about life.

Were you wearing suspenders as you typed the above correction?

What it made me think about the most is how if you break up your life span into various pieces and look at them separately its almost like you've lived many different lives. Makes me realize how it's never too late to change it all around and do something new and different.

I completely agree. So many times I hear people say, "well, it's too late to change now." But it's not! In fact you only live once (unless you know that reincarnation is real) so unless you are dead, it's never too late to change.
