The Curious Case of Benjamin Button

I watched this movie yesterday. It is one of these pieces that has a slow tempo but at the same time touches you deeply at heart. The idea of getting old frightens me; I don't want to be old. After watching it, I started to think about it. Is it only about wrinkles and weary muscles or is it something else. Now I guess it is something inside us that gets old.

Here are some quotes from the movie that might help you understand what I mean:

- "My name is Benjamin Button, and I was born under unusual circumstances. While, everyone else was agin', I was gettin' younger... all alone."

- Daisy: "You're so young."

Benjamin Button: "Only on the outside."

- Benjamin Button: "I was thinking how nothing last, and what a shame that is."

Daisy: "Some things last."

- "You can be mad as a mad dog at the way things went; you can swear and curse the fates - but when it comes to the end, you have to let go."

- "For what it's worth: it's never too late or, in my case, too early to be whoever you want to be. There's no time limit, stop whenever you want. You can change or stay the same, there are no rules to this thing. We can make the best or the worst of it. I hope you make the best of it. And I hope you see things that startle you. I hope you feel things you never felt before. I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you're proud of. If you find that you're not, I hope you have the strength to start all over again."

- "Our lives are defined by opportunities, even the ones we miss."

- "It's a funny thing about coming home. Looks the same. Smells the same. Feels the same. You'll realize what's changed... is you."

Hope you like it....
