The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

What can one say first about The curious case of Benjamin Button? That it is a story about a man who is born old and dies young? Much too frivolous for this epic achievement. Should we describe it as a love story? I think more appropriate it would be to call it the story of love. For me this movie is another example that all the great things in art, as in life too, are simple. Yes, simpleness is in my opinion the main feature of this film. Despite its duration, The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button is easy to follow and understand and it speaks to every spectator, regardless the level of education.
Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett make an outstanding acting duo and I can say that, on general level, the performance is great from each actor. This movie is filmed in a classic manner and I can say that the images are great and they give the impression of everlastingness and elegance.
Once every a few years we have been accustomed to Hollywood producing a film that instantly walks into history, as a cinematographycal landmark. And this is also the case of dear old Mr. Button. It will be for sure a film that you will want to see again and again, like listening to a piece of Rahmaninov or drinking a glass of an old exquisite Bordeaux vine.
