I have seen a hummingbird

When I was little, I saw a hummingbird nailing a squash flower in my grandma's vegetable garden.
After being discovered by my cousin and I, it flew over the wall quickly.
Although the summer in my memory is often washed away by the rainstorm and the hot sun, it always seems unreliable, but I often mention to people that I saw a hummingbird in an ordinary vegetable garden in North China.
Of course no one believed it, or turned out a book and said that what I saw was actually a large moth.
And the audience, said, oh? Really.
Even if I say I've seen a T-Rex in my bedroom, they'll say oh yeah.
My handsome cousin, who later became an anesthesiologist, became a fat man. I got married last year and had a child last year.
I never asked him if he remembered the hummingbird.
But I think, I am probably the only one on earth who still remembers it.
So in "The Curious Case of Benjamin Button", when the hummingbird flew across the ocean and over the hurricane, I had chicken jelly, and I believe it has been flying all the way to China.
In contrast, Pitt, who is old and ugly most of the time, and whose acting skills are not satisfactory, has become a supporting role.
If I rate this film seriously, I will give it a 3. There are not many movies worth scoring.
Two and a half hours long, like saying, "We know this is a bit long for a commercial film, but we want to make a classic, the kind of film that will be talked about many years from now."
If it was me, I'll cut it a little tighter, shave off half an hour, get rid of inconsistent stunts, add some more subtle transitions, cut off some long and rambling shots, and make the second half of Pete's handsome life longer , and even add some more sensational and tense bridges, plus some more mysterious and profound clues.
In that case, I think the film will be more commercial and more attractive. At least more people will write in their diary after watching it: "I watched a wonderful movie today, and it was thought-provoking."

This shows that I am a third-rate producer, and I can only do Forrest Gump, but not The Curious Case of Benjamin Button.
Because it is these ramblings and tediousness, clutter and regret that are more like real life.
Laxity, lengthy, messy, unfortunately smooth sailing, you can see the skill.
Even if the aliens born in the opposite direction, the hummingbirds across the ocean, in the life as many as the sands of the Ganges, only a few people can see their own turbulence.
Those unexpected encounters, the thrilling years, the sentences uttered with a lifetime of courage, the sadness and happiness that I desperately remember, can be carved out of gold and stone, earth-shattering, but only a few people's wind, sky, sea and rain. People who always remember all this will eventually grow old.

When filming "Fight Club", David Finch was just a talented director. When it comes to this film, he has the taste of a master, if the word master has not become a curse word.


It's a pity that this film will never be as good as "Forrest Gump". I don't want to watch it a second time.

Life is like a reverse journey, and I am also a pedestrian. This single case is over.
