the curious case of benjamin button be a near epic film in almost the same way forrest gump be . i be not particularly a fan of david fincher and his work . yet i strongly admire the curious case of benjamin button . this film be about a man name benjamin button who lead much of an ordinary life under not so ordinary circumstance . the one thing that separate him from any other human be be that he age backwards . despite such large difference between the audience and benjamin button and the film find a way to connect with a large variety of people in a way that do not seem to happen so often . the acting be very good throughout the movie . especially that of cate blanchett who seem to be turn out one great performance after another . she play the role of daisy and benjamin button real love interest from start to finish . in fact she play so well it might have be a partial downfall to the movie . her performance out shin that of the main character and play by brad pitt . although pitt be very solid in his performance i do not believe he deserve an oscar nomination ( rather blanchett deserve one ) for his role of play benjamin button . he be not a necessity to the movie and do not add much to it . he be not bad but he wasn not spectacular . throughout though many of the different actor and actress light up the screen . especially tilda swinton who be wonderful to watch a button short live love interest . her presence be magical and a joy to watch . i would have love to see just a little bit more of her character . the directing of david fincher in the curious case of benjamin button be of what i believe to be his best work to date . the screenplay of eric roth be write very well a he have have experience with these type of movie . in many scene the dialog and great direction combine for some epic scene . ultimately i enjoy this movie very much but something felt miss from the movie . something seem left unsaid that be vital . i felt that the great downfall to this movie be that brad pitt do not give an amazing performance and do not take control of the movie rather blanchett steal the show from him which make button seem less important to me . despite that though it this film be do very well and i would recommend it to all . it an important story that make u self reflect and think deeply . it display how we need to live with our mistake because they be part of our life . we need to appreciate what we have rather than wonder what if .
