Time, like an elegy that cannot be flashed back

I was deeply moved by this film when the people who had left at the end of the film reappeared in front of me like a reflected film.
David Fincher's ingenious plot concept, mainline connection, and vivid performances by Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett deduce such a thought-provoking film.
Never imagined listening to such a bizarre yet touching love story, or a life journey. The lives that flashed by in a hurry, the faces that once stayed in the memory, the love that can't be let go for a lifetime.
The most touching thing is that Benjamin and Daisy lingered in the inn on that stormy night, Daisy's silly "When my skin gets old and loose, will you still love me?" and Benjamin's " Will you still love me when I have acne, when I wet the bed?"
True love is always there, no matter the time, no matter the age, even if you can't remember it in the end.
The film ends with a sad ending full of love and helplessness in life. Just like the reversing clock was finally washed away by the flood, everything will inevitably pass away with time.

Helplessly, the flowers fell, and it seemed that Yan returned.

What matters in life is not what we leave behind, but what matters is that you have bloomed brilliantly in your time.

    A movie that explores life and time, it is touching. The setting of reverse development and rejuvenation seems fantastic, but in fact it has little effect. After all, the intersection of people is often just a section. Interspersed with American history without deliberately, more natural and atmospheric than [Forrest]. Special effects and makeup are excellent. You can be angry with everything around you like a mad dog, you can curse fate, but when the last moment comes, you have to calmly let go. (9.5/10)

    [A] This kind of story is so beautiful, it seems to tell everything about life, and it seems to say nothing, plain, but full of power. Of course, I kind of wondered what it was like that man was struck by lightning for the seventh time.

  • Benjamin Button: What if I told you that instead of gettin' older, I was gettin' younger than everybody else?

  • Mr. Daws: Did I ever tell you I was struck by lightning seven times? Once when I was in the field, just tending to my cows:
