Gripping story with well-crafted characters

An absolute waste of money

It's the kind of movie you'll want to see a second time with someone who hasn't seen it yet, to remember what it was like to watch it for the first time.

Unshakable, witty and deeply felt, the film will be paying emotional dividends for a long, long time.

You will be distributed all the movie??is it realistic or fictional??? But you will insist on finishing it,,,one of the best movies

I think the idea of a man being born old and growing up while his body becomes younger is pretty good. I would love if this would have happened to me! Yet it seems that with this brilliant idea and incredibly long movie they could have done more than they did.The main part of the movie is the relationship between Daisy and Benjamin. And both actors do amazing job. While the make up for this movie is stunning, this is not the only thing that makes Benjamin Buttons great, Brad Pitt's acting is a part of it. So is Cate Blanchett. There are some beautiful scenes between them. Yet I don't get some things. I somehow can't believe that he loved her since he left her with the child. The reason doesn't make sense to me. Why would Daisy have to "Raise both of them"? He was an adult in a young body, how does this stop him from being a father more than growing old in a normal way? By the time he was a teenager with dementia she was already grown up and her step father dead. He could have perfectly spent all the years with the woman he supposedly loved and his child.But maybe this is the point of the movie? Maybe this is also the reason for Tilda Swinton's character. We see that she ends up fulfilling her dream. It was not too late for her even though she didn't do it at a young age. And he didn't. He left what could have made his life happier. Even though her body was getting old while his was going the other way.

Some look at this as one of the lesser Fincher films. I personally think it's one of the best. Sure it's not better than "Fight Club" and "Se7en" too films I strongly recommend if you haven't already seen them, but in my opinion it's better than all his other films. Yes even "The Social Network." It's beautiful in its simplicity and is a film about life, and it's better at being a film about life than "Boyhood." Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett give fantastic performances and the soundtrack is great. Fincher even throws some Beatles in there which I appreciate. Is almost a 3 hour movie which I usually look at as a flaw but similar to "Lord of the Rings" it flys buy and you want to watch it a second time. Definitely a must see!

It was fascinating to see the struggles of being old, middle aged, and then young. It was also fun to explore the idea of affairs, seizing the moment, a mother who loves you no matter what, and loving someone...no matter their age or appearance. Lots of life lessons in this one and I would definitely watch it again.
