The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

A child who had old appearance was born. His whole life was just like the clock that the second hand ran counter clockwise. At the end of movies, the clock was broken. It seemed a metaphor to you, because the baby Benjamin Button was dead.

The clockmaker made everyone to remember something when he or she watched the clock. Time is like a flowing river that never came back to you. Live in the present time, cherish this moment without being blinded by the shadows of the past (web). Be comfortable with the time being. Any second could be eternity (web).

The old appearance but young mind was a good image to Benjamin. Daisy liked him, although they separated for a long time. Benjamin was getting younger. His life was so different to anyone’s. He was getting stronger than before. At a nice time, he met Daisy again.

You really liked the time when Benjamin was on the bed with Daisy. Also, you really admired two leading roles’ style. No matter at every age, two leading roles were great. For instance, when Daisy was a young dancer, this actress (Cate Blanchett) can act like a young dancer, though she herself is a mother now.

You then thought the character was a little bit like you. You had young appearance; but old, even stubborn thinking. That’s the reason why you face everything at some times, you always get into a blind alley. When you were in the dark, you could try to conquer pessimistic thinking and welcomed the sunshine.

After watching Benjamin’s whole life, you just wrote down those words to make a note what you ever watched. You only wrote some feelings touching you, not wrote down all details what Benjamin’s whole life were.
