I'm getting old, but you're getting younger

I really like Daisy when I was young, a little bit slutty and uninhibited, smoking, dancing and talking non-stop.

Then Daisy had an accident. The shooting of that part is very characteristic, and a series of trivial things lead to the final accident. Daisy lies in the hospital, bandaged and scarred. Benjamin arrives suddenly again, but Daisy drives him away. However, when a woman says stay away from my life, she doesn't mean it.

After many years, Daisy returned to New Orleans.

The two were eating together, Daisy asked "Why don't you talk", Benjamin replied "I don't want to spoil the atmosphere". Back to the room Daisy said "Sleep with me." Benjamin replied "Absolutely." It was a late night, many years ago, Daisy was dancing in the night with a red dress and bare feet, she said "Take me back to the room", He refused. Their time is misplaced. She is getting old, but he is young.

They had the best time. After the child was born, Benjamin chose to leave because he knew his life was the opposite of others, and he didn't want her to take care of him when he was getting younger and younger and became a child. However, there are enough bad men in this world who have abandoned their wives, why should there be more good men? In the end, she would still find him and take care of him.

At the beginning of the film, there is a clock with its hands running backwards, which is the designer's hope to save his son who was sacrificed on the battlefield. At the end of the movie, the hurricane makes landfall, flooding into the basement, and the backward clock is washed away and submerged.

When the old Daisy holds Benjamin who has turned into a baby, I know that there is always a clock in this world that goes backwards.

- Good night, Daisy.

- Good night, Benjamin.



In this film, for the first time, I think Brad Pitt is really handsome; in this film, for the first time, Tilda Swinton and Cate Blanchett play together, although there is no opposite scene - just like how many times Catherine Deneuve and Emmanuelle Beart are on the same stage Different scenes, the two most straight but most imagined lesbian women have never sparked - but I'm still very excited.

Such a love story, I would love it so much, I think because of the actors. But when the movie ended and the music started, I had a feeling that I had experienced vicissitudes of life, and I thought the director was indeed a good director.
