This is an epic that chronicle's Benjamin Button's life as he "grows" backwards from old age to childhood. It is about the trials and tribulations as well as the adventures and love he experiences as he makes his way through life.
This movie won 3 Academy Awards, so naturally, I had to see if it was really worth those 3 awards it took home. I have to say that yes, it is a pretty good film. There were a few parts that were kind of slow but over all it was interesting.
Brad Pitt did a really good job in this film. I think that it was probably hard to play a man aging backwards but the make-up was fantastic. The make-up artists did a great job of aging Pitt, although they had a very good subject to work with. Cate Blanchett was beautiful in this film as well, although they didn't have to work as hard with her to achieve the desired effect.
I would say that this isn't really a film that a guy would enjoy. I say, get your girlfriends over for this film and make sure the popcorn is ready, you don't want to forget the popcorn on this one!
