Advantages: great acting

Disadvantages: it ended

This is one of the best films I have watched this year.
Starring Brad Pitt, Cate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton, Elle Fanning, Jason Flemyng, Julia Ormond and David Fincher who are all totaly brilliant in this epic movie.
We hear the story as it is being read out of a diary charting the life of Benjamin Button.
The story is basicaly about a baby that is born resembling a wrinkly old man.
The father is so horrified by the childs appearance that he leaves the baby outside the local old peoples home where he is taken in and loved by one of the resident staff Queenie who has been unable to concieve her own child.
Whilst living at the care home Benjamin meets Daisy who is at the home visiting her Grandmother.
The pair keep in contact through the years
As the years go by we see Benjamin gradually age backwards and watch all his exploits along the way.
It is really a love story with a twist and I loved it.
Watch it with a box of tissues.

Summary: Well worth a look
