Product Description:
A MAN WHO IS BORN IN HIS EIGHTIES AND AGES BACKWARDS A MAN WHO IS UNABLE TO STOP TIME.
Amazon.com:
The technical dazzle of The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a truly astonishing thing to behold: this story of a man who ages backwards requires Brad Pitt to begin life as a tiny elderly man, then blossom into middle age, and finally, wisely, become young. How director David Fincher--with makeup artists, special-effects wizards, and body doubles--achieves this is one of the main sources of fascination in the early reels of the movie. The premise is loosely borrowed from an F. Scott Fitzgerald story (and bears an even stronger resemblance to Andrew Sean Greer's novel The Confessions of Max Tivoli), with young/old Benjamin growing up in New Orleans, meeting the girl of his dreams (Cate Blanchett), and sharing a few blissful years with her until their different aging agendas send them in opposite directions. The love story takes over the second half of the picture, as Eric Roth's script begins to resemble his work on Forrest Gump. This is too bad, because Benjamin's early life is a wonderfully picaresque journey, especially a set of midnight liaisons with a Russian lady (Tilda Swinton) in an atmospheric hotel. Fincher observes all this with an entomologist's eye, cool and exacting, which keeps the material from getting all gooey. Still, the Hurricane Katrina framing story feels put-on, and the movie lets Benjamin slide offscreen during its later stages--curious indeed.--Robert Horton

Loved this movie, especially Brad Pitt's part. ran a little long with some slow scenes, i think they could have shortened it a bit. although i do not regret purchasing.

The item arrived in a timely fashion. The first 45 minutes played very well with good picture quality, but after the 45 minutes the DVD begin to freeze then showed video artifacts on the screen eventually the DVD just froze and would not play. I removed the DVD and cleaned it very thoroughly and played it again, but the results were the same. contacted the seller and requested a refund and they provided a full refund. Very unhappy and the DVD has no useful purpose. It is not playable.

Felt like a Forest Gump type of movie, without the humor or compelling storyline. The movie encapsulates every sense of the word dull, and while an interesting concept, the overdrawn length of the movie coupled with a daily regret I now have for loosing 3 hours of my life while watching this forces me to hand it a 2 star rating. There are movies made so you don't have to think, and movies made to provoke thought and discourse. This movie promotes a drab, dry in between that leaves you wondering ... Read More

I am sorry Brad Pitt, but this was wholy dissapointing. I guess if you look at the acting, I woudl say it was a good movie, but when you look at everything, it just bored. The story was interesting and worth-while, BUT there was no climax and no excitement. I guess nto every movie needs a giagntic fireworks and bombs climax, but really? I felt like I was watchign a doctor try to revive a dead patient....it just wasn't happening. All in all this movie realllllly failed to impress me.

This is a long, slow movie, but it is quite astonishing.
At first, there is a little smugness at the general concept: a man is born old and grows younger with time.
But the movie quickly transcends its gimmick-premise, and becomes by turns tragic, and touching, and illuminating, and funny, and amazing, and quietly wonderful.
Brad Pitt's quiet performance is a perfect counterpoint to Cate Blanchett's hyper frenzy. You can see how these two attract each other. ... Read More
