a of this writing and benjamin button be number 70 on imdb top 250 movie of the year list . many people believe this film deserve and in a year with film like frost or nixon and doubt ( and many others which i will not mention ) that this be the one film which will bring home best picture . wow . this be overrate . it will bring home the oscar it deserve represent cinematography and makeup and and if it very and very and lucky and special effect . what bug me most about the film be the thing at the core represent the relationship between daisy and benjamin . it miss something very and very and important represent why they fell in love in the first place . the most interesting section be one that completely captivate represent when he have a love affair with a lady at the russian hotel and why . because they keep it at a brisk 30 minute so it doesn not drag on for 2 hour and it get you captivate and and it end when it be mean to end . you can also tell why they have the affair in the first place represent they want to find out to what it be like to be in love and or in the girl case represent benjamin strange affliction . you ( or at least me ) become sick of benjamin relationship with daisy when you realize it fail to ask the most important question at what be the dead center of the entire 2 hour 48 minute film represent why do they fall in love . pitt give a tolerable performance and nothing oscar worthy . blanchett and on the other hand be very good a daisy and try to fuel the chemistry with pitt that just isn not there . it also very long with a 168 minute runtime and it think it can spend all the time try to win and but in the end and it fail . there be many useless scene that could have be throw out ( particularly this one scene in which it show all the thing and which could have happen to prevent daisy be hit by a cab and which leave you think in the 5 minute section that feel more like 30 minute which leave me think when will this end . ) . worth a rental for the astounding cinematography and makeup .
