Brad Pitt's character was born with a congenital disorder, He struggled to be an ordinary person despite his adverse circumstances. Brad Pitt is adequate but not really outstanding. I'm not the biggest Brad Pitt fan but I thought he was dignified and showed his experience in this film, but it was not a breathtaking performance. The other main role (Rose) played by Cate Blanchett lacked emotion at times. This sadly resulted in the chemistry between her and Button to be minimal. I couldn't see the love between them. Overall, I thought it was a nice watch including some amazing and incredible visual, make-up effects, specially when Pitt was made to look about 10 years younger than he is now. But it won't be considered as an absolute classic. It is a beautiful film externally but fails to come up with a strong, evident message. I couldn't hate this film, because I enjoyed it, but I couldn't love it either, because this should have been much much more.

First of all, I would like to thank IMDb for their great contribution to the film industry around the world. You can decide either you want to watch the movie before you actually go start wasting your time on a movie that was not of genre.Secondly, The Curious Case Benjamin Button. OK! This is the first time I'm writing a review on IMDb and I would like to mention here that this movie is just underrated. I think this is one of the most important movie of my life. I have never seen such a wonderful movie. Even though there are 1000s of other movies that will stole your heart but this one is really going to stole your soul only if you are an emotional person rather than practical. I had listen about that movie before. It was just a chance when I was removing some data from my friend's mobile and I saw that movie and before deleting it, I just checked it's rating on IMDb and it was 7.8 at that time. So, I thought I will give it a watch tomorrow and today I hope that my life is going to change or I will try to change myself a bit more and my conceptions about the life.In simple words, this movie teaches you what is life and what could be the purpose your life. Each individual viewer can get a unique inspiration from this movie. I don't know what I can write more about this movie but I would also like to thank the entire team of this movie to create such a marvellous gem for the film industry.I don't want to spoil by writing anything about the movie and even I don't have words to describe anything. One day, when I will have my private video library then this movie will be the first one that I would like to buy.I will give this movie 10/10 from bottom of my heart.

I've never seen this overwhelming story. I was intrigued by the setting of Benjamine Button who grows young. He gets through hardship which makes him strong and attractive, and falls love with a woman. As he gets young, his life is full of curious and unusual experiences which makes him educated and clever. I cannot expect what he is going to take next action and make a decision in hard situations, so this film hooked me until the ending and controlled my emotion. I think the filmmaker focuses on the point that most people are afraid of getting old. The younger he becomes, the older people around him become, and he sees death of his close friends. If I were him, I might not stand and accept myself because I'm scared of loneliness. This film makes me think about the beauty of getting old. Through his whole life in this film, we can see the greatness and beauty of life. This film is so amazing.

A newborn child who looked like an old man and had the body him was abandoned on the stairs of an asylum. There, he gets adopted and starts living the rest of his life which will prove to be very different when compared to one of an ordinary man's. We follow his life throughout the entire movie as written in the journal of his childhood love, with all its difficulties and pleasures until his final breath.To be honest, although it had an excellent idea in what the main character is concerned, it proved to be what seems mostly like a biography. We are presented simple events which the unusual man experiences, in chronological order, without something that will amaze you or even wake you up from the state of boredom this movie puts you in. Just ordinary stuff which could have happened to any ordinary man. Its biggest fault by far though remains its inexplicable length which prolongs the boredom more than ever desired. Don't get me wrong, it is unique and interesting in some aspects, but it is quite predictable, linear and even boring. Its characters play their role well but don't actually shine, their characters being simplistic and even dull at times. It's a movie from which I had high expectations but I ended up pretty disappointed.
