Long Winter Movie Watching Record-"The Curious Case of Benjamin Button"

The winter in the north always appears to be particularly long. The long-term cold seems to be just waiting for the snow, waiting for the moment of condensation. Every time the snowflakes always come quietly, soaking everything in pure white silently. In such a long winter, time seems to be frozen, no matter how hard you try to move forward, you can't escape this cold winter. One day, it will break through the cold winter and accelerate into the embrace of summer.

In such a winter day, after watching the long-awaited "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", Vinci did not disappoint. It seems that telling the disordered life is Vinci's specialty. I have already seen Vinci speak in "Fight Club". The ability of the story, and the story of "Benjamin" is more fluid. Let us go upstream with the river of time and experience Benjamin's magical life.

It all started in a diary, a bizarre story that tells you about Benjamin's upside-down life, when he was born, he was old, and when he grew up, he was rejuvenated. The inversion of time, the inversion of soul and body. The main line in the movie is the love between Benjamin and Daisy. The two people of positive development and reverse development spent that period of time together. This time is beautiful, beautiful illusory. The most beautiful segment in the movie is their days on the "mat". It was an idealized life, without the concept of time, and it was not affected by external pressure. Good things have always been short-lived, and they will eventually pass by like relatively moving trains.

What moved the most was the end of the whole story. Benjamin was lost in the memory of his baby's brain overwhelmed, and he couldn't remember the life he had lived no matter how hard he tried. In the end, he closed his eyes forever in the arms of his lover. Daisy said: "I can feel that he knows me." The seemingly complicated story, think carefully about it, is indeed so true, the inverted life is just a form of telling, perhaps the story itself presents us a life course. What makes me feel is the grand proposition of "life" and "alive". Fate, coincidence, accident, and our choices make up our lives. Just like the end of the film: some people have been struck by lightning seven times; some people have extraordinary talent for music; some are artists; some are mothers; some swim; some dance. I was touched, but this kind of touch is inexplicable, maybe life itself is worth moving, life is a miracle.

The seasons reincarnate, and start again and again. Just like our life is always going on in an orderly manner, there will be no upside-down and disorder in the movie. The ups and downs of life and emotions, whether we like it or hate it, our lives will roll forward with the wheels of time, irreversible. When I stopped and looked back, everything had already become history. I always insist that life is worth sighing.

    4.5; rewatch; we who have been struggling to look back in the long river of time are finally stalemate by fate at the midpoint of life, all waiting is only for a moment of reunion, to touch the eternal meaning in each other's best time; life slices upside down, I I’m old, I’m old, I’m trying my best to tell you that I love you forever; the midnight wind blows up the curtains, thinking that the people I love are sleeping peacefully right now, good night Benjamin.
