i have be await to see this movie for some time . ala and it be christmas day and you bet i be there to see the movie on open day . i set my expectation really high on this film . i expect nothing short of brilliance with a film come from director david fincher and director of the masterful zodiac and screenwriter eric roth and writer of the classic forrest gump . the acting be brilliant in the movie . brad pitt and the marvelous cate blanchett share a fire that resonate so effortlessly out to the audience . other performance be notable a well and such a taraji p. henson a benjamin mother and and tilda swinton a benjamin first lover . another notable achievement in the film be the visual effect while none of it be overdone and it be quite convincing . the music in the film be great as well . the haunting and mythical music be compose by alexandre desplat . one thing that do surprise me in the film be the amount of comedy present and but i guess comedy need for a tale with such sorrow . i really do think that this film be a classic . and i would go and see it again . when i be walk out of the theater and some people complain that the movie be very good and but that it be too long . i disagree while i actually do not want it to end . it the perfect film to watch all snuggle up in a blanket during the dead of winter . all thing aside and this movie be about the short time be give with life and how we be to make the most of it . even with a story as fictional a benjamin button and the message ring true .
