another good flick: 'Benji Button'




Today is another day watching 'The Curious Case of Benjamin Button' on tv.

Well, Benjamin ( or I easily call him Benji Button) has scored my taught to 'license' it as one of my favourite drama movies, after CRASH (won 2006's Oscars), and bff inspired movie 'Simon Birch'.

I don't know if i'm good at picking a good movie since i'm not on of AMPAS members, but I can tell you this one is so effing outstanding. A story about Benji Button who was born in rare disease (not sure it's a disease). He has our grandpa's condition as he was a baby, growing to be young. Living backward againsts the 'time' of any normal human beings. A condition some people will prefer since it becomes younger, and pretty as Brad Pitt.

Watching the movie a couple of times makes me wondering. Be born already with burdens and growing up easily as the burdens wash away. Living hell at first, and taste the heaven at last.

Benji had been nominated in last year Academy Award, but the eup just came in, to me, as i get smart enough to endorse a great movie, and wiser to pick one. Well broken dvd player is another major reason, making so much delay to keep updated w/ good movies for a year.
