Watch The Curious Case of Benjamin Button For Free

a film so unique, intoxicating and bizarre that it not only demands another viewing, but is also forgivable as a satirical comedy where the jokes eventually take the back seat.

This is one of the few movies I've ever seen where the whole audience broke into spontaneous, loud applause a third of the way in.

This is one of the best movies I’ve seen in a very long time. You have to go and see this on the big screen.

Strong acting helps the film overcome an uncertain premise and create characters that hold our attention absolutely.

Tells the story of Benjamin Button, a man who starts aging backwards with bizarre consequences. The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is i believe one of the first films that started this whole de-aging thing with actors since we see a baby Brad Pitt old, then somewhere around his 50s and then he is like 20 something years old and the technology that was used in the film was quite marvelous to say the least since it really worked quite well. The story is also very interesting and despite the almost 3 hour mark you never really get bored, the perfomances from both Pitt and Blanchett were very good and powerful and as for Fincher's direction? It was really good, definitely see it. (A+)

If you loved F.Scott Fitzgerald , then you will love this film. This is because the portrayal from the book to film is excellent. It has wonderful cinematography and special effects, moreover, Brad Pitt and Cate Blanchett have galactic chemistry on screen . What is of prime interest to viewers is the reversed-aging process of Benjamin , who was born old and hideous and was dumped by his rich father at an orphanage where the kind lady raised him as his own. He has seen the elderly die , heard them tell out of this world stories, until slowly it became evident that Benjamin Button is the opposite of all of us- he gets younger literally as time goes by. Nowadays I always hear men when complimented on their new haircut or after shaving, " I am Benjamin Button " , the common phrase that is born out of this excellent , heartbreaking movie.

The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is David Fincher's longest film (and it certainly feels like it), and shows his best skills as a director, but his weaknesses in adapting the screenplay. Like my previous issue with Fight Club, I loved the direction, but felt that the film was poorly adapted from the original novel/screenplay. The story of Benjamin Button's life is a great, intriguing concept for a film, and it definitely has its high points, but it also isn't quite enough to carry a nearly three-hour film. Where the film could have benefited from adding more depth to existing characters, some additional event or unnecessary character is introduced just to give viewers the impression that it feels more like a lifetime than a man's emotional and physical journey. Screenwriter Eric Roth basically transcribes the formula of his greatest work, Forrest Gump, and adapts it to Benjamin Button's curious case. It has many moments that feel inspired by Forrest Gump, and many moments that try too hard to be just like Forrest Gump. Your enjoyment of the film will depend on your enjoyment of certain parts of the story. While I enjoyed the serious, emotional moments of the characters and their emotional reactions to Benjamin's condition, other viewers may be more interested in the contrived events of his life, akin to Forrest Gump's successes, meant to prolong his journey.Another exceptional aspect of this film is the makeup and the performances. Brad Pitt may not be doing very much work, but the makeup artists have a hell of a job to do and they deliver flawlessly. Benjamin Button looks and feels complex as a result of the excellent makeup and body acting done on him. Cate Blanchett also does a great job portraying Daisy, Benjamin's lifelong love, and reacts to the situation she finds herself in realistically and emotionally. Depth is added in places you would expect, but it is lacking in places you would expect it to be. Also very pleasing and smart on Fincher's part was the ending which satisfyingly ties the film together and concludes many of the loose ends. If only the film tried less to be like Forrest Gump in reverse, the characters would have felt more realistic and the emotional payoff more earned. Even with the screenplay's faults, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button has a better overall effect on the viewer than the individual scenes do. Great cinematography, direction, makeup, and performances elevate a unique, intriguing concept with a lacking screenplay to make it one of Fincher's more emotional works, but also one of his less memorable.3.5/5 stars

First of all, I would like to thank IMDb for their great contribution to the film industry around the world.

This is the first time I'm writing a review on IMDb and I would like to mention here that this movie is just underrated. I think this is one of the most important movie of my life. I have never seen such a wonderful movie. Even though there are 1000s of other movies that will stole your heart but this one is really going to stole your soul only if you are an emotional person rather than practical. I had listen about that movie before.

So, I thought I will give it a watch tomorrow and today I hope that my life is going to change or I will try to change myself a bit more and my conceptions about the life.In simple words, this movie teaches you what is life and what could be the purpose your life. Each individual viewer can get a unique inspiration from this movie. I don't know what I can write more about this movie but I would also like to thank the entire team of this movie to create such a marvellous gem for the film industry.I don't want to spoil by writing anything about the movie and even I don't have words to describe anything. One day, when I will have my private video library then this movie will be the first one that I would like to buy.I will give this movie 10/10 from bottom of my heart.
