The protagonist Benjamin Button has a strange body. He was born like an 87-year-old man. His mother died of a dystocia and was later abandoned to a nursing home by his father Thomas as a freak. Queenie, an infertile black female carer, adopted him and named him Benjamin. Then, Benjamin began to grow up against the law of ordinary people's growth, and his body became more and more energetic as he got older. So this became a story destined to be tragedy.
At the end of the film review, it was also the clip that touched me the most. Ben blinked the eyes of a baby and looked at his elderly wife. I believe that he must remember who she is! At the age of 70 when he looked only 7 years old, he looked at her and asked "Do we know each other?" She shook her head, but she believed that he understood her. Because, when he loses his temper, he can only say to her, "I seem to have had a lifetime, but I can't remember anything." What a sad dialogue, have you ever asked yourself? We also seem to have a lifetime, but who stole our lives without letting us know it? We seem to have a lifetime, but in the end it is only forgotten.
Faces at the end of the film. Some people are good at music, some are good at dancing, some are getting older, and some are getting younger, but without exception, we are all going to die. If you are the protagonist in your life, in the eyes of others, you are just somebody. Maybe in your thoughts, your ideals are great, but among all living beings, you are just some people. When you are aggrieved for your own destiny, you are only some people on this blue planet. That clock is still flowing backwards in the corner...
