The Curious Case Of Benjamin Button

By Julieta Serrano
There are lots of marvellous movies in the world these days, but if you like movies you have to see this one. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is a movie directed by David Fincher, produced by Paramount Pictures and Warner Bros. In this movie the main characters are Brad Pitt, Clate Blanchett, Tilda Swinton and Jason Flemying. It tells the story of a person that was born as an old man (Brad Pitt) who starts to rejuvenate himself until he dies being a baby.
The story takes place in the twentieth century where the clothes and thoughts of the characters are different from now. But the most important characteristics are the advanced digital effects and the actor’s appearance that makes people doubt about make up or technology.
There is no doubt that technology has been growing for all over the world in the last years and this is shown in movies, especially in this one. There are some great effects that made the spectators jump from their seats because of the sounds, the pictures and the atmosphere represented in the movie.
What if I say that there are more than 200 digital effects in this film? Have you noticed every change of appearance or when a scene starts or finishes? That’s because digital effects can make everything possible, and this movie has excellent effects, but of course this is not all. The theme, the characters, the atmosphere and the story itself made this movie interesting in all senses.
To add, this film gives good lessons and teaches about our existence, the eternity of love, the importance of a friendship and happiness. When you finish watching this movie you feel like you have just woken up from an eternal dream, so it doesn’t seem like you were in the cinema with your friends.
I would recommend this movie to adults and adolescents, first of all because they will understand it better than children and it’s a movie that has to be seen by everybody. Secondly, it will make people understand the significance of discrimination and shows how was life in the past.
