The Curious Case of Benjamin Button
 Friday, February 20, 2009

"Some people were born to sit by a river, some were struck by lightning, some had the ear for music, some are artists, some swim, some mold buttons, some know Shakespeare, some are mothers, and some people dance."

It's films like these that sometimes make you want to put your life on pause, and then rewind it back to pivotal moments...and this familiar feeling of re-visitation...they call it kismet don't they?

Critics say that it's a freakin' film with lots of greeting card messages, filled with cliches on how to live life, weaved into a fantastical story of reversed aging...strip that fantasy aside and the film is nothing special.

But strip that fantasy aside, and you're also left with the stark reality that no matter how cliche the adages that "Benjamin Button" are, they still, are. There's no denying the truth in them, and that's why this film is so great for it's time. The critics can critique all they want, but the average man down the streets need a reminder.

This film certainly isn't inspirational in itself, but watching it will remind us where to turn to for inspiration in our own lives. While the film might not qualify as a lesson in life, it surely is a handy memo; for when life starts to narcotize us through our everyday fortunes and misfortunes, then just once-so-often, a marvelous film like "Benjamin Button" comes along to jolt us out of our stupor.

And sometimes when a person is alone in a foreign land, on a cold and late night...all he needs is a gentle reminder on how to live life....

Just so to make the times I miss you more bearable...slightly...

"We're meant to lose the people we love; how else are we to know how important they are to us?"
