This movie is the definition of beauty. The writing, the acting, the story, the plot, it's all beautiful. Drama, comedy, romance, epic, everything is in this movie. Every scene has so much care put toward it, you get reminded again and again that this movie is amazing. Every character, even the villains, the few there are, are amazing. The only complaint I see for this movie, besides it being to long, is that there are plot holes. Well, Benjamin was born and died a small baby. It would be stupid if he was born the size of an old man or since he was born an old man, he had to die a small baby. Confusing, yes, but still awesome. Brad Pitt does excellent as Benjamin Button, and Cate Blanchett does tremendous as Daisy. The ending is brilliant. *Spoiler!* Daisy dies just before Hurricane Katrina takes effect (Which was a subtle sub-plot) and in a flooding building, the reversing clock that resembles Benjamin still ticks. *End of Spoiler!* Lot's of people say it resembles Forrest Gump, and I agree, but it actually does BETTER than Forrest Gump! It's actually better than the movie it's kind of based off of, that's just great. Overall; It's visual poetry. Almost nothing is done wrong, and if there is something wrong, I don't know about it. Since this was released on Christmas, I would be the happiest person ever if on the night of Christmas, I went to the theater and watched this masterpiece of cinema.
5/5
