      The Curious Case of Benjamin Button: Life is out of Control

      The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

      1995's "Seven Deadly Sins" (Se7en) was David Fincher's first collaboration with Brad Pitt. Pitt successfully portrayed a young, bloody, and righteous police detective, and 1999's "Fight Club" was their second collaboration, and the film is still deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, making it one of the most male films in history. After a lapse of 10 years, another "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button" was...

      Life is such an unchanging cycle

      For the time being, I will intercept the email when I talked to YY about it:

      after seeing it, I feel that it doesn't matter whether his life is going backwards or not. Old people and children are indeed the most alike. Benj's life is different only in form. Farewells to loved ones in life are the same for everyone. On the contrary, I feel that what is told is not the ups and downs of life, but the irreversible reality. Children who were sacrificed on the battlefield will not come...

      You gave birth to me before I was born, and I gave birth to a lord. The old lord hates me for being born late, and I hate that you are born early.

      The plot is so bizarre that it often doesn't lead to emotional pain that can't be felt.
      After watching this film, I can recall several points:
      1. The captain of the tugboat.
      Although he loves drinking and whoring prostitutes, he always wants to be an artist, so he's not doing his job properly.
      But when the war came, he still immediately declared that his ship was requisitioned by the navy and that he was allegiance to the United States.
      This is quite like the hooligans...

      comprehension

      Read The Curious Case of Benjamin Button. Usually when I see such a slow narrative film, I will constantly doze off. But today may be an accident. Everyone's perception of the same movie is different because of the different perspectives. The most insight this movie gave me is that life is too short to do something meaningful as soon as possible! To be honest, since my senior year, my life has been really bad, I have no direction at all, as if I am waiting to die. Worrying about inexplicable...

      Fitzgerald's original work, directed by David Fincher, starred by the two queens Tilda and Blanchett, and the little white face of Pete, the kneaded things should be more delicate than what we see now. But I can only say that it is quite satisfactory, not very brilliant, and I am only a little moved when the elderly she held the baby in her arms. I thought of my long journey Andre, how tragically beautiful it would be. Three and a...

    Special effects technology

    In "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button," the director tried to use a short actor to play the role of Barton in childhood, and then used a two-dimensional synthesis method to "project" Pete's makeup face onto the actor's face. However, there is always a difference between an actor's head movement and Pete's movement, and it is difficult to synthesize the two. So the "Digital Domain" company decided to adopt another method: make a...
